I was sick this week. There's nothing more fun than being sick on the weekend of Halloween. "What are you dressing up as this year?" My bed. As my symptoms got worse and worse, I started to wonder which ones I hated more. This got me thinking about PowerRanking symptoms of being sick. Without further… Continue reading 2017 Power Ranks – Week 8

2017 Power Ranks – Week 7
Me and the old lady took a trip to IKEA this past weekend. Going to IKEA is a scary proposition because it’s a labyrinth designed to keep you inside and give you Stokholm syndrome (pun intended) into wanting all the shit they sell. Oooh look this lamp is only $3.50! I feel like we could… Continue reading 2017 Power Ranks – Week 7
2017 Power Ranks – Week 6
It's finally (FINALLY!) starting to feel like fall. You can really feel that crispness in the air, and that means it's vest weather. I love vest weather. It's the best. I present to you now, an ode to my vest: Oh vest, my vest How you are the best You keep me warm when it… Continue reading 2017 Power Ranks – Week 6

Dog Shit of the Week Bruce Arena. I assume that after waking up yesterday, turning on the 7am SportsCenter and seeing Tayler Twellman apoplectic, Woody sent me this: I got you buddy. Here's a bedtime story you can tell Mary: There once was a king of a far away land known as Soccertowne, King Bruce.… Continue reading 2017 Power Rankings – Week 5
2017 Power Rankings – Week 4
I’m currently studying for a certification exam. It’s one of those things that if I just suck it up, study and pass the stupid thing, I’ll end up making more money in the long run. But I’ve learned, or actually, remembered, that studying sucks! Becoming an adult is so much more wack than being a… Continue reading 2017 Power Rankings – Week 4
2017 Power Rankings – Week 3
It’s a tough week to have a superfluous blog about sports. I don’t want to have a take on this week’s UNITYFEST. Except maybe just read and listen to as many intelligent people as you can and make sure some of them are actual people of color. The more informed you are, the better your… Continue reading 2017 Power Rankings – Week 3
2017 Power Rankings – Week 2
I went to the doctor a couple months ago for the first time in a long time. It’s stupid that the most important things are pretty much the last things on the planet you want to do. “Man I really should go make sure everything in my body is working correctly and maybe just check… Continue reading 2017 Power Rankings – Week 2
2017 Power Rankings – Week 1
Now that Week 1 is in the books, we now know everything we need to know about this season. Let's review what we've learned. These are not overreactions by the way. These are perfectly valid, reasonable, sane reactions to the first week of football. For example: We now know that I need to find a… Continue reading 2017 Power Rankings – Week 1
2017 Going-into-the-SZN PowerRanks
I woke up Tuesday morning after Labor Day and felt the familiar feeling of “well summer is over, back to school* and time for fall.” It was instantly depressing. It made me want to write a post where the gist was basically: “Fuck Fall”. But then I got home from work that day, and the… Continue reading 2017 Going-into-the-SZN PowerRanks
2017 Pre-Toppa Draft PowerRankings
In honor of the 230 beers to be drunk on Toppa Draft night, I was going to list my 230 favorite things about the start of football. But that became very, very difficult, very, very quickly. I decided to scrap that idea because I ended up with 175 of the top reasons being RedZone. Then… Continue reading 2017 Pre-Toppa Draft PowerRankings
