Before we get to the footy, I just want to highly, HIGHLY recommend Ken Burns' The Revolution (streaming free on PBS). It doesn't pay short shrift to the moral shortcomings of 18th century America, but it also (maybe especially so, since it doesn't come off as hagiography - FFS, they even

MOAR GAMES, demand teh ppls! South Cakalaky (+12.5) at Johnny Reb (7:00, ESPN) Real talk, y'all. This slate ain't great. But maybe Johnny Reb sleepwalks a bit, what with all the Koach Kliff Khaos?? Steerfuckers North (+2.5) at Tennessee (7:30, ABC) This is the actual, watchable game. Winner clings to the leaky playoff lifeboat,

Huzzah, we are back for another helping: Arizona State (+8.5) at Unded Bill Snyders (7:00, ESPN) Poor little Sparky, 7-2 and absolutely nobody is buying it. Oregon (-14) at Wisconsin (7:30, NBC) Another week, another super-extensive, prime-time turd for NBC. On top of Notre Dame playing a schedule that would make a decent high
16 Nov 2024 – JV NFL Thread (Part 1)
No EPL this morning, international break. Here is your lukewarm tofu-based menu for today: Steerfuckers South (-13.5) at Pig Sooey (Noon, ABC) I can't figure the Hawgs out, but here's hoping they make a better showing today than I expect. Team Secular Big Love (+11.5) at Colorado (Noon, Fox) Utes keep coming up short,
