Wumbo Wednesday: TWIFY 2—Own Team Edition!

I was really looking forward to an LCS recap and Game 7 preview, because everyone knows that Game 7s are the best things in sports, unless your team is involved, then it's a monumental stress ball. But the only offense that came out of New York was the fans pelting noted

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: This October in F*** You (ALCS Edition!)

Ah yes, the matchup that most people care about but also absolutely despise, those fuckers vs. those cheating fuckers. "Hooray!" said almost nobody outside of New York and Texas. Considering it's their third ALCS meeting in the last six years (and fourth playoff meeting in the last eight), I guess you

Why the TV ratings are down and why it doesn’t matter because the NFL is dying
