Praise, Thanks, and Apology to Slippy G Night Thread

King Hippo - May 7, 2022May 7, 2022

As it turns out, Villa manager (and ex-Redshite "legend") Steven Gerrard didn't let Team White Lives Matter win, just to fuck over my Toffees. He was a good sportsman, and Hippo apologizes accordingly. 3-1 win could provide breathing space if Everton take a point tomorrow (and Leeds lose). For the record,

I can't bring myself to care about the minutae of Denver's 5th and 6th round stuff. They ain't draft the puinnter out of JV Bolmen!! which is sad. General Takeways from Sportsball: A placement specialist AND TWO PUNTERS got draft before U*NC "alumnus" Sam Howell, who now joins Li'l Danny's Commie

As I was watching today's fixtures (trying to savoUr since there is NO FOOTY tomorrow), I came up with another of my good goddamned ideas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iIVFzlYGzw In France and I think Germany, they add another wrinkle to promotion/relegation - the cross-divisional playoff. I love that shit, and I have an idea that

Seriously, am I really gonna have to watch the Zombie USFL? This is what happens when you are a lazy piece of shit and don't believe in human activity. Things learned earlier: Momentum is tomorrow's starting pitcher. See Spurs and Brighton, on opposing ends of that spectrum. I cashed a nice

In case you aren't depressed enough already, read this. Fucking Rooskies, man. There's not much one can do, though. Nuke them, and the world ends. Do nothing, and feel like the West is just letting YET ANOTHER genocide happen. I hate this timeline. Sportsball? Apologies, I had family duty so only saw Very

I will not invite you to touch my monkey, though. Here are your late fixtures: 12MW Richmond (+3.5) v. 4MW Providence (6:10, TNT) Friar Tuck and his merry band just can't get no RESPEK, I says. Richmond's coach looks eerily like "Buddy" in Swimming With Sharks. I love that movie, probably because I

You can find a silver lining in anything, if you try hard and/or are annoying enough about it. This week? I spent some quality time with Katy Tur and her smokeshow glasses. Things I may have learned today: Christian Eriksen is still alive, but I can't really say that for Beesus'

King Hippo - February 13, 2022

Again, I apologize for not crapping out a Saturday nighter. As partial recompense, here is a morning one. Spurs/Wolves is the best of the three 9:00 offerings (all action on Peacock), with European qualification meaning for each club. Until midweek, Wolves had been flying shit-hot. Spurs, on the other hand, have

Trust me, every ESPN platform will BEG one to watch, but Hippo ain't doing it. At the time of this here posting, I am watching NC State losing 21-6 at home to Notre Dame. I would be annoyed enough if this was football. But it's just shameful in hoops. 23-6 now. Today,

Scotchy is having access issues, which hopefully get resolved. WE NEED OUR SCOTCHY! In the interim, kvetch about your fantasy squadron, your abyssmal Saturday gambling (hangs head in shame, blew half my stack and almost 2 weeks of steady good work), and/or the Men Untied/Hammers match. Black Power David Moyes. You'll never
