Looking at social media, you see a lot of the same phrases over and over and over and over and over and overandoverandoverandover again. And even worse, you see a number of them used in the wrong context which makes it even worse. I decided I was going to power rank these phrases but I… Continue reading Toppa Conference Championship Weekend Preview
I knew the odds were stacked against me. I knew I wasn’t going to make the playoffs. It was basically impossible for me to get in. Then little stuff started happening. Vegas was down to JD. Brendo was down big to Timmy. I had a shot at beating Buckets. Then the worst thing in the… Continue reading Toppa Wildcard Weekend Preview
You wanted a post?!? You will get a post!!! As you can tell, I'm actually very hard to peer pressure. Let’s get the sad shit out of the way. Rip the bandaid off and move on. PWood, Timmy and JD? Out. Thanks for playing. Make checks payable to the Toppa Foundation for Raising Awareness for… Continue reading 2022 Power Ranks – The Final Week
It's Halloween! Time for some terrible sexy costumes. Except not. Well, I mean there are some truly terrible costumes out there. They're all bad, but not offensively bad like previous years. When I first started doing this, I would have trouble whittling the pile down to 12. There were just so many terrible, weird, awful… Continue reading 2021 Power Ranks – Week 7
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
We've been doing this thing for 8 years now, and while it's pretty much the best thing I have going in my life and every time I hear someone else talking about their fantasy league, I think in the back of my head, "You think your fantasy league is cool, but it fucking sucks compared… Continue reading 2018 Power Ranks – Toppa Bowl VIII Preview
It’s the Christmastime SZN which means there are radio stations playing nothing but Christmas carols and there are TV channels playing nothing but Christmas movies. How can there possibly be so many Christmas movies?! Want a little taste? We’ve got My Christmas Inn, The Christmas Contract, Christmas Around the Corner, Christmas Pen Pals, A Christmas… Continue reading 2018 Power Ranks – Conference Championship Preview
I’d like to start off this week with an update on the deliverer of each week’s Dog Shit of the Week. Ollie had knee surgery two days before Thanksgiving. He actually had his other knee replaced 3 years ago, and it’s very common if one blows out, the other will blow out soon after that.… Continue reading 2018 Power Ranks – Divisional Playoff Preview
Story time! Boom Boom was looking through the L.L. Bean catalog because now that we live in New England, we are in need of warmer clothes. Somehow, even though NYC is 35 degrees today and Newport is 30, the “Feels Like” in NYC is 30 but in Newport it's -2. Also, both of our work… Continue reading 2018 Power Rankings – Week 11
At least I made it to the playoffs. This week's playoff matchups were pretty crazy. In a year when the weekly team average score was 10 points less than the last 5 years, this week's 4 winning teams scored an average of 173 points. My team did not score 173 points. Plus I broke my… Continue reading 2017 PowerRanks – Conference Championship Preview
