A Bored Murrika Turns Its Eyes to AFRIKA Open Thread!

Ugh, another dead/sunless Saturday.  No NFL, no Prem.  Just more stupid FA Cup ties, including the one I hope Everton loses to Martin Prince's Lutes (10:00, ESPN+) - because it's all hands on deck to keep hold of 17th position in the table. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B61XAN2Ujw Fortunately, the wonky coverage of BeIn has us covered,

Wild Card Weekend Warmups!

What tasty treats await us all - presuming one is staying inside watching TV.  God help you if you are ATTENDING the Saturday night Chefs/Fins tilt.  Your bollocks are likely to freeze plum off.  Or, I suppose, your lady bollocks (sorry, TayTay). But first, Lesser Footy awaits.  The Prem is thankfully

“IF YA SMELLLLLLLLLL….” – When Smackdown Comes to Town

Hi everyone, It's your old pal Beerguy with another one of his tales of wonderment & whimsy. Now, it's no secret that I enjoy the professional graps. When I was a kid & my mom had to work on the weekend, my dad thought nothing of driving me across town and dumping

Into the PeriloUs Void – Early Saturday Open Thread

What, did you wake up and hope to see Premiership footy?  And then JV NFL??  Too bad, you get nothing.  Absolute fuckall. Well, there are FA Cup ties, though the draw was pretty uninspiring (though surely nothing can bottom out as badly as Everton's dreadful nil-nil away to Palace on Thursday, when

Raging JV Semis Thread (Also Open Monday Yada Yada)

Was everybody amply and appropriately bored with the appetizer games?  #MeToo. Now, let's dig into that main fucking course. Alabama (+2) v. Michigan (5:00, ESPN) One might think this is hangover mercy, putting the better matchup/de facto championship game in the early slot.  But apparently this is solely to satisfy the Rose Bowl

Feats of Festivus Strength Thread (with Some Footy)

Welcome to Festivus 2023.  We've all got ample complaints, I am certain. Happily, we do get an early bird special, and its David Moyes Vengeance - Fronk's Hammers hosting Wakey's Men Untied (7:30, USA).  Men Untied are coming off perhaps their best effoUrt of the season, which is good.  But it

Your Thursday “Asleep-At-the-Switch” Carpenter Thread

Ahoy-yoy!   I realized I never did a Stillers bye week report, but who cares. They're 7-6, will never beat the Patriots in any meaningful way, the offensive is broken to hell, and are somehow in currenth #6th seed. Tomlin Voodoo is real, ya'll. Just accept this. This season has been so

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Hey, I Didn’t Burn Apartment Weaselo Down!

Hermana Weaselo was supposed to come over Thursday morning and we were going to make the meats together, with Madre Weaselo's general recipe. But then she wasn't feeling great, so she had to back out and wait to come with the rest of the family Weaselo. And I have
