Derby Days Reignited (and Other Lesser Matters)

God help me, but I think Everton actually goes into this Derby matchup with a puncher's chance (7:30, NBCSN). The Redshite will no doubt be focused after their 7-2 thrashing away to Villa...but thhat veneer of invincibility has faded. More importantly, Don Carlo has this bunch of Toffees believing in

I still stand by my decision to turn the teevee off Thursday night. But, oh how I enjoyed some Friday morning schadenfreude. Yeah, the "uber-smart" G.O.A.T. (Fucker)...forgot what down it was during the final, failed drive. But what that funny little moment really did, to my mind? Illustrate the insidiousness of

That's right, y'all. The SEC is back, and with a glorious 10-game league schedule. Finally, a fall Sabado that actually feels like a doggone Sabado! But first, you get another Premier League morning, kicking off with United away to Brighton (7:30, NBCSN). This is...not ideal timing for the Trash Birds, with

And then, as if to honoUr the late, great (in terms of hilarity) Herman Cain - there were NINE. Oh fuck, TEN. My brain is so beyond borken. Friday was the day everyone looked forward to, as For Realz Man City put Real Cuntfaces of Madrid to the sword. 2-1 away,

There's really fuckall to do until Most Glorious el beisbol Cardinals start around 2p (banner pic in honoUr, also since it pisses so many off that maybe we can has extra clubhouse participation??). That's because all the Premiership fixtures are tomorrow morning. So sad. Everton's match is on CNBC, which

The Athletic recently published a long-form discussion of how any of the participants (ok, maybe not the ones who dug deep holes before the 2nd leg of a tie got played - ie, Chelski) could win the abbreviated, neutral-as-WICHITA Shempions format. It got me (and the Clubhouse's other Lesser enthusiasts) thinking

And huzzah FOAR that, what on earth would we do otherwise? We wake (and presumably bake) with Fronk's Hammers, toiling against the imploding/Hippo believes to be mathematically ded Trash Birds o' Norwich (7:30, NBCSN/Gold). Bet they still get a draw, because that's just how Moyes' West Ham rolls. Still, I got

Tis a strange schedule. You get one Premiership fixture each day, at bizarre times. Saturday has ONLY the early bird special, which features Euro-curious Wolves away to "just happy to be here" Villa (7:30, NBCSN). I feel like a lunatic setting me alarms for this. But I will. Saints at
