Because moneys speak louder than public health (and thank FUCK for that, amirite??), we finally have sommet like a full Saturday slate.  Praise be!  But don't forget about Premiership Banana Puddings time, first!

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.

Hawkey is back, the NBA is back (I think?), based ball is sort-of back who knows, football... again, who knows. All of that stated, golf has been back for six weeks. Granted, there aren't any galleries, so, it's been a bit strange, but, I'll take what I can get at

Welcome to July (or Jew-LIE!!!! if from Mississippi), with Lesser Footy now back in full swing.  Most of the fixtures are even watchable now! First, a tribute.  Pretend Man City (2048-49 season) just signed a shit-hot new Keeper, England's #1 at the age of 23.  He's 6'4" and Black Like Me

With world events what they have been this week, I find it particularly appropriate to feature Spoon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_MMHmUGn8Q What a delightful band, with amazing longevity.  I hope they are Evertonians, but unlikely. Arsenal are away to Crystal Palace to kick things off (7:30, NBCSN).  Uncle Woy has at least temporarily taken Cenk Tosun
