It’s with a heavy heart that I write this blog. I’ve found myself in my late-Brett Favre point of my career. Both sending inappropriate dick pics with my flip phone, and flirting with retirement, only to come back for one more year, thinking I can still be the Ol’ Gunslinger. Except, I can’t even make… Continue reading Toppa Blog Signing Off (Probably)

The most wonderful day of the year is coming. The day when I take 3 shits before 10:30am. The day where I’m so hungover that I have to pee sitting down.The day when I take a shower, then have to go jump in the ocean, then take another shower, just to think semi-clearly. The day… Continue reading 2020 PowerRanks – Toppa Invite/Pre-SZN
It’s that time of year. We’re exactly one week from the best holiday there is. Now we’re all getting a little older. Some of our families are getting bigger. Some of you may have to host Thanksgiving this year. Some of you may have to even cook this year. And if you do have to… Continue reading 2019 PowerRankings – Week 11
I'm having a little baby dude in a couple weeks, which means... well, it means a lot of things. Most of which I'm unprepared for. One of the things it means is that BoomBoom and I had to do the baby shower thing. I'm not going to go into the play-by-play of that, nor am… Continue reading 2019 PowerRanks – Week 10
This year, I’ve been keeping a Google Doc with all my ideas for Toppa Blog. It’s something I’ve done in previous years, but it wasn’t anything significant. Maybe I'd jot down a Christmas idea I had in October. Or I’d have an idea for the next week’s blog while writing the current week’s blog. Or… Continue reading 2019 Power Rankings – Week 9
I was out to brunch with some friends recently and we started discussing Halloween and, specifically, trick-or-treaters. BoomBoom and I live at the end of a dead end street, so we don’t get any trick-or-treaters, which is a little sad, because since moving from New York City, we enjoy leaning into those domesticated traditions. “Children… Continue reading 2019 PowerRankings – Week 8
I saw this tweet a while back and it felt right up my alley: Picking which one of these items had to go is essentially #PowerRanking them and giving the worst one the boot. Sounds like a blog post to me! Unfortunately at the time when I saw the tweet I was writing about how… Continue reading 2019 PowerRankings – Week 7
Week 6 #PowerRankings Sometimes it's hard to come up with new shit to write about every week. This is one of those weeks. So welcome to the Toppa Blog Bye Week. Instead of breaking down your team's performance this week, I'm just going to insert a gif that reminds me of your team. Enjoy. 12.… Continue reading 2019 Power Rankings – Week 6
I’m so fucking sick of Projected Points. What’s even the point?! (ha!) These things have no basis in reality. They’re calculated by some algorithm that has as much of a chance of being right as your kid putting magnetic numbers up on your refrigerator. And you know who makes these algorithms? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6l8MFdTaPE That’s right. Fucking… Continue reading 2019 PowerRankings – Week 5
