Good morning sports fans! Today the big spandex clad men are back to concuss one another and shorten their life expectancies for your viewing enjoyment and my profit. Your favorite glasses and labcoat (and nothing else http://www.furaffinity.net/view/21125763/ new pic for 2016!) wearing skunkette has studied the spreads, and is here to give you the tip.

This year so far has been pretty hard on your beloved professor. Picking up mini-wins on Mondays or Thursdays and the occasional college play has kept me above water, but the time finally came to where I had to add funds to my account. NO MATTER! Scared money doesn't win none, let's get this going for week 7.

Game #1 Cleveland Browns (+10.5) @ Cincinnati Bengals
The Pick: Cleveland +10.5
~Cleveland is winless, but not the worst team in the league. Cincinnati has been struggling lately. Okay to be fair Cincinnati has been struggling for the better part of the year. With Cincy at home against a beatable opponent, it would be crazy to call for an out and out upset here. What I do see happening, however, is Cleveland keeping it close. Perhaps they lose by a touchdown, but ten and a half is too enticing to pass up.
RESULT - Bengals 31 Browns 17 (+10.5 = 27.5) Wrong


Game #2 Minnesota Vikings (-3) at Philadelphia Eagles
The Pick: Vikings -3
~The ghost of Sam Bradford returns to Philly, clad in flat purple. The fans will be at their most Philadelphian, I'm certain. I suspect Philly sports fans save dead batteries for just these sorts of occasions. The Eagles are reeling after two losses followed a surprisingly hot start, but I think that's who they are. Their rebuild began this season, and the good results was a glimpse of the future, not of the now. Minnesota, on the other hand, views themselves a SB contender, and will look to further separate themselves with a road win margin of more than 3 points.
RESULT - Vikings 10 (-3 = 7) Eagles 21 Wrong


Game #3 Baltimore Ravens (+1.5) @ New York Jets
~The wheels have fallen off the Jets. They managed to hero up for that Thursday nighter at Buffalo, but it seems the book is out on Fitz. He underthrows rainbows to the back shoulder of his target. Jump the route during the ball's floaty flight, and you're going the other way. The alternative is Geno Smith. Geno is a bum. Geno is a SUB EJ Manuel bum. Figures that the year Buffalo bottoms out there are no good QB prospects but annnnnyyyway. Baltimore wants to get back in the AFC North picture, especially with Cincinnati showing weakness and Pittsburgh's Big Ben out for a few weeks. They'll get the road win.
RESULT - Ravens 16 (+1.5 = 17.5) Jets 24 Wrong.

State of Summer's Buffalo Bills
~Wow, 4 wins in a row is feeling pretty sweet. My Buffalo Bills are actually in the playoff picture after the conclusion of week 6. That's huge, usually we're chasing from behind by week 3 or 4. Today they visit Miami, who last week steadied their ship with a surprising win over a (suddenly mid-game without Ben Rothlesburger) good team. Going into today's game, I feel less confident than any of our previous games. Running back LeSean McCoy is out. Injured at practice. Second best receiver Robert Woods is out, injured in last week's game. Best receiver Sammy Watkins has been on injured reserve and will remain there. So we're on the road, in the Miami heat, our best running weapon and 2 best catching options are all sitting out. Can't run, can't throw. What are we going to do?

I'll tell you what we're going to do.

We're going to break Professor Summer's #1 rule, "Don't bet on the Bills."

BONUS BET! Buffalo -2.5 @ Miami
RESULT - Bills 25 (-2.5 = 22.5) Miami 28 Wrong

Do you have any idea how hard it is to go 0-4?

Well this has been a tough year for me so far....but the law of averages means that eventually I'll start sniffing out winners on a more regular basis. Of course, there's also the possibility that I don't have the winning touch just yet. Time will tell. As always, we're looking to go 3-0 on a parlay, small time bet for big time winnings. Let's go!

Game #1 Cincinnati Bengals (+7.5) at New England Fuckbois
The Pick: Cincinnati +7.5
~Last week saw the vengeful return of Tom Brady go exactly as predicted, with the Fuckbois absolutely murdering the hapless Cleveland Browns. This week, the Fuckbois return home with their hero quarterback to play the other team from Ohio. With apologies to  dastiger I'm sticking with Cinci this week. Not only are they capable of an upset here, they're desperate for a win to get back in to the AFC North race. If they lose, I'm hoping it will be within the 7 and a half point cushion they're being given.
RESULT Cincinnati failed to keep the game within a touchdown's difference. LOSS

Game #2 Jacksonville Jaguars (+1.5) at Chicago Bears
The Pick: Jacksonville +1.5
~Jacksonville only beats teams worse than they are. The Bears are pretty terrible, and a mess at the quarterback position. I like Jacksonville to win straight up here, based mostly on a hunch I admit, but yeah. I'm not going to overthink this one.
RESULT - Jaguars win, 17-16. WIN

Game #3 Philadelphia Eagles (-3) at Washington Racistnames
The Pick: Philly -3
~I believe that last week the Eagles got the bad beat out of their system. This is a conference game, and I'm sticking with my feeling that both Kirk Cousins and the Racistnames are garbage. With apologies to  julietskunkbutt I am once again jinxing her team, laying down three points and taking the Eagles here.
RESULT - I might have to admit that Washington isn't as bad as I want them to be. LOSS

State of Summer's Buffalo Bills.
~After a surprising three game winning streak, we have a season in Buffalo! The games still matter, and that's actually saying a lot after how dispiriting the 0-2 start to the season was. The Bills are favored today, at home against San Fransisco. Controversial figure Colin Kaepernik is starting at QB for the first time this season, and frankly I'm a bit worried. Between motivation, the potential story line of a good performance, and the constant threat of letdown by my favorite team, I'm afraid to let my hopes get too high for this game, even though no matter how much I protect my feelings, I'll still be devastated if Buffalo blows this game.

As the weeks pass by, teams begin to separate themselves from the pack (like Denver) while others have legitimized their "surprise" status into legit contenders (like Atlanta). When the planets align, we the football fans of the world are treated to an early season match up between two such teams, like today, when Denver will play Atlanta. Those sort of match ups are the true essence of "any given Sunday" unpredictability, which is why you won't see me picking a winner of that game below.

Game #1 New England Fuckbois (-10.5) at Cleveland Browns
The Pick: New England -10.5
~Tom Brady's Inflategate Ballghazi suspension is over. He is mad. The Patriots lost last week without him. They are mad. Cleveland set out to suck it up this season for a draft pick, and the injury gods have assisted them. They are hopeless. Like earlier in the season, I correctly pointed out the Fuckbois' tendency to run up scores to put the league on notice, and this will be one of those games. They are going to be merciless. The will be passing long TD's while already up 20. I would have taken the Fuckbois even at -14.
RESULT: Fuckbois 33 (-10.5) Browns 13
Yes. I was right about one thing this week. The Fuckbois are assholes and will beat up on a weaker team. I was right even at two touchdowns. Pay no attention to my other picks this week.

Game #2 Philadelphia Eagles(-3.5) at Detroit Lions
The Pick: Eagles -3.5
~The Eagles have found their quarterback in Carson Wentz, but surprisingly, the Eagles are more than just him. They are a legitimately good team that we have the privilege of watching come together. The Lions are on the decline. They DO have the ability here to keep the game within the margin of a field goal, which would make me a loser, but I feel like the better team will win comfortably here.
RESULT Eagles 23 Lions 24
Loss straight up, never mind the spread. The surprise in this one is Detroit racing out to a big lead, and Philly almost coming back. My apologies to  julietskunkbutt

Game #3 Cincinnati Bengals (-2.5) at Dallas Cowboys
The Pick: Bengals -2.5
~These young Dallas Cowboys, lead by a rookie QB and rookie RB, are a surprising 3-1. Look no further than their schedule for the reason why. Their three wins are all against shit teams (Bears, Racistnames, and 49ers) and their loss is at home against the very average New York Giants. The better Bengals team is 2-2, with their losses coming against a pair of buzzsaws in Pittsburgh and Denver. I see them winning this game by a touchdown and getting back on track to another playoff loss.
RESULT Bengals 14 Cowboys 28
 dastiger Summer, I blame you for the Bengals losing. You picked them in your bet. Also, Zeke is a beast. XP
..........sorry Qaja. >.>

State of Summer's Buffalo Bills
~Big win last week, not only beating but shutting out the Tom Brady-less Fuckbois in their own house. Felt good. Great even. Expectations for the Bills immediately rose. Just on the drive home, the local radio hosts were talking about how the next week's game (this week's now) against the Rams is one they must not lose. I prefer to pump the breaks a bit, and while here I will say that I am expecting disappointment, the disappointment will be no less bitter should Buffalo lose today. I really want to see them do well, I've suffered for a long time. Somehow, the suffering never gets easier. If I was a neutral bettor, and not a die-hard delusional Bills fan, I wouldn't touch this game with a 10 foot pole. On Friday the Rams were 3 point favorites, but as of this morning the Bills are actually favored by 1. The conspiracy theorist in me would say that with the amount of money that went Buffalo's way to sway the line that much, to watch for the fix to be on and the Rams to win. But that's crazy. Crazy. @.@
Anyways, go Bills.

Season Results 6-8-1

) wearing skunkette has studied the spreads, and is here to give you the tip.

Here we are in week 4, and certain patterns have begun to emerge. Primary among those patterns is that I am wrong with alarming frequency. I've been picking off little mini-wins on Monday nights (3-0 on the season there) and with college football, but since I don't publish those, they don't count! Today I'm going to apply my college strategy to the pros. I don't follow college football, let alone obscure games like yesterday's Akron Vs. Kent St matchup (that I won on). Instead I base my picks on the first inkling I have and run with it. In other words, el-oh-el looks good let's do it.

Game #1 Seattle Seahawks at New York Jets (+1)
pick: Jets +1
~Teams do not travel well from west to east. The same effect is on teams traveling from east to west, but playing a game 3 hours later isn't as upseting to routine as playing one 3 hours early. Apply that to your life. Would you rather do everything 3 hours later, or get up three hours earlier than you normally do and run your day from there? Anyway, the Seahawks are on my list of teams with good records that I don't believe in. I also think the Jets are going to be a pain in the ass, and if they're going to the playoffs this year, this is a game they win. Sooo, Jet's plus the tiebreaking bonus point.
RESULT NY Jets 17 (+1=18) Seahawks 24
LOSS

Game #2 Oakland Raiders (+3.5) at Baltimore Ravens
pick: Raiders +3.5
~Okay, all that stuff I said about teams traveling from west to east poorly? Fuck all that. The Raiders have an explosive offense, and while they're susceptible to the long pass, the Ravens do not throw deep often. The Ravens are also at the top of the previously mentioned list of teams with good records that are suspicious. Their 3-0 record involves slim wins over bad teams. Taking the Raiders here, who need this game to put themselves in the post-season hunt.
RESULT Raiders 28 (+3=31) Ravens 27
WIN

Game #3 Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons (+3)
pick: Falcons +3
~Atlanta is at the top of my list of teams that might actually be better than people realize. Their offense is clicking, last Monday they scored touchdowns on five consecutive possessions (cah-ching, falcons & over 57 points, tyvm) then held on to beat the Saints by pacing them score for score after that. Carolina is struggling, it's the same problems they had last year, only now coming home to roost. They only have one good receiver, the others being very prone to drops. Cam needs to get back to the hero mode that carried them through last year quickly, or the Panthers might not even make the playoffs. I like Atlanta to win this one straight-up, with three insurance points as a bonus.
RESULT Falcons 48 (+3=51) Panthers 33
WIN

State of Summer's Buffalo Bills
Well they won unexpectedly last week, that was good. That gives fans like myself a glimmer of hope. A win today against the New England Fuckbois puts them at 2-2- after the first 4 games, which is where I had hoped they'd be to keep playoff hopes alive. I've been a fan of this team for a long time, though. Usually these glimmers of hope exist only to make the disappointment of another loss that much more bitter. Vegas seems to know this. They've set the Bills as 7 point underdogs, even while as of this Sunday morning it's unknown which of NE's backup QB's will be playing. It doesn't matter, the experts say. The Bills will puke in their laps and blow their opportunity to get back in the thick of things. Still though, come on guys, let's get this one, eh?
RESULT Buffalo Bills get road shut out, win 16-0 Woo!

BONUS - WTF LINE - FIX IS ON OF THE WEEK.
~Last week, Buffalo vs. Arizona had a mind blowing spread of only 4 points. Arizona was good. Buffalo bad. Buffalo only being given 4 points seemed insane-o. I made a note of that, because usually when lines seem that exploitable, it's a trap. Sure enough, Buffalo wins big, and Vegas pockets the money of all those suckers.
This week's WTF line is Tampa Bay +3 against defending super bowl champion Denver. Denver has looked unbeatable. Tampa has looked shaky as fuck. This is my nomination for sucker line of the week, look for Tampa to get the upset.
RESULT LOL, okay yeah looks like things are legit after all. Broncos win easily.

Week 4 results - 2-1

Season Results 5-6-1

Greetings sports fans! On Sunday the big spandex clad men are back to concuss one another and shorten their life expectancies for your viewing enjoyment and my profit. I'm doing this the night before because I've got a game to attend tomorrow, which makes for a hectic morning prepping the tailgate. Your favorite glasses and labcoat (and nothing else http://www.furaffinity.net/view/21125763/ new pic for 2016!
) wearing skunkette has studied the spreads, and is here to give you the tip.

So now that we're in week 3, the lines are starting to be set based on the realistic performance of these teams, this year. Still, with such a small sample size, surprises are bound to occur. So far, this is the least confident I've been when it comes to picking my three favorites.

Game #1 NY Jets (+3) at Kansas City Chiefs
The Pick: Jets +3
~I'm not at all convinced that the Chiefs are a good team. In week one they stake a huge lead, at home, to the Chargers. Then in week two they get absolutely demolished, showing no signs of life along the way. Meanwhile the Jets played a hard fought game against the Bengals in week one and blew the doors off my Bills in week two. The Jets should win this game outright, in my opinion.
RESULT - Jets 3 Chiefs 24 - LOSS

Game #2 Washington Racistnames at NY Giants (-3)
The Pick: Giants -3
~Last week Washington lost at home to a Dallas team quarterbacked and runningbacked by rookies. They should have lost by more, but Dallas wasn't polished/good enough to totally whip up on them. The finger-pointing has begun in Washington. Kirk Cousins is being exposed. It gets worse for them on Sunday. Giants win this one by a double digit margin.
RESULT - Racistnames 29 Giants 27 LOSS

Game #3 San Diego Chargers (+1.5) at Indianapolis Colts
~The Chargers score points. A lot of points. Phillip Rivers is throwing the ball all over the field. The Colts biggest weakness is preventing the other team's passing game. This one looks to be high scoring and fun, and I like the Chargers to continue their surprising run of competent footballing.
RESULT - Colts 32 Chargers 26 LOSS

Week 3 Results: 0-3
Season Results 3-5-1

State of Summer's Buffalo Bills.
Ugh. I'm not at all confident in my guys right now. The loss last week. The firing of their offensive head coach after the defense barfed all over themselves.... It all reeks of dysfunction. The game against (the good) Arizona Cardinals tomorrow looks to be a 10 point or more loss. If Buffalo loses, the 0-3 start all but ends the season 3 weeks after it started.

Good morning sports fans! Today the big spandex clad men are back to concuss one another and shorten their life expectancies for your viewing enjoyment and my profit. Your favorite glasses and labcoat (and nothing else http://www.furaffinity.net/view/21125763/ new pic for 2016!
) wearing skunkette has studied the spreads, and is here to give you the tip.

If Week 1 is reputation week, Week 2 is overreaction week. Teams that did not live up to pre-season expectations in their very first game are now considered horrible, inept, and incompetent. Teams that performed well are now Super Bowl favorites. The trick to this week is navigating the hype and find the exploitable lines. For those not familiar with this weekly column, I go after parlays, that means I'm shooting for 3-0 and a big payday. One loss torpedoes the whole thing.

Game #1 Kansas City Chiefs (+1) at Houston Texans
The Pick - Kansas City +1
~Last week, shockingly, the Chiefs fell way behind to an inferior Chargers team at home before mounting a huge and necessary comeback to preserve their dignity. Due to this near shock, the Chiefs are now 1 point underdogs against a Texans team that looked shaky and weak against a weaker Chicago Bears. The Texans have super-turd JJ Watt returning to the lineup today, but so what?

As a side note, I'd like to be on the record as saying that JJ Watt is just the worst. THE. WORST. A shovel-faced glory hound, constantly tweeting out "I'm so dedicated" selfies and self promoting putdowns of teammates and opponents. A fame seeker that puts himself over by pointing out other players seeking fame. He has all the qualities of the Patriots and their fans wrapped up in his rectangle shaped body. Fuck him forever with a rusty exhaust pipe.

-Final Score Kansas City 12 (+1 =13) Houston 19.
What? I mean, roughly I put these in order of confidence. Losing this one is bitterly disappointing. Also, still. Fuck JJ Watt.

Game #2 Miami Dolphins at New England Fuckbois (-5.5)
The Pick - New England -5.5
~New England went and showed that like a bad rash, they just will not go away, by last week defeating the Arizona Cardinals on the road, without Tom Brady. The Fuckbois, being fuckbois, will use this week to make a statement against a divisional opponent. Their goal will not be just to win, but to run up the score to as embarrassing a figure that they can manage. We will find out if the Seahawks' low score output against the Dolphins last week was the work of a sturdy Miami defense, or a flawed Seattle offense. Last week I correctly predicted a flawed Seattle offense, so I'll roll with that this week. Fuckbois by a lot.

-Final Score New England 34 (-5.5 = 28.8) MIA 24 - Win.
This one was only in doubt at the end when the Fuckboi's QB went down with an injury while attempting to run the score up from 34-3. Can't say I feel bad for them.


Game #3 Dallas Cowboys(+3) at Washington Racistnames.
The Pick - Dallas +3
~Last year's division title was a fluke. Kirk Cousins (Washington QB) is a joke. The guy turned down a guaranteed one year contract matching the highest paid player at the position because he felt like winning another division title would get him paid even more. Some would say that Kirk Cousins is betting on himself. I would say that he's high on his own supply. Washington loses at home to a division opponent and their downfall begins. Change your name.

-Final Score DAL 27 (+3 = 30) WSH 23 - Win
The Racistnames blew a 4th quarter lead, at home, to a division opponent with an injured starting quarterback. Good.

Week 2 Results - 2-1
Season Record (including today) 3-2-1

State of Summer's Buffalo Bills.
Ugh. What a start. First they puke in their laps, and do absolutely nothing against the Ravens, who MIGHT be good but it's still unknown as Buffalo spent the entire game trying to gain as few yards as possible. Then, on Thursday night, in front of the eyes of all the football fans in America, they let Ryan Fitzpatrick(!!!) dice them up. By my count they forced exactly one punt until the very end of the game when the Jets took three knees to run off the clock. Luckily, the offense made some big plays and kept the Bills in the game right to the very end. Of course, the next morning, the man in charge of the offense was fired. We're a joke. People are laughing at us. The next two games are Arizona (uh...) and New England (...ooh). It doesn't look like things are going to get any better.

Good morning NFL fans and fans of action, god bless you this glorious day when NFL action returns not just for two teams, but for everyone around the league! You favorite glasses and labcoat (and nothing else http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17400520/
) wearing skunkette has studied the spreads, and is here to give you the tip.

Week one is a difficult week to predict. The books set the lines based almost entirely on reputation alone. Big events, like the injury to Minnesota quarterback Teddy Bridgewater will have an effect, but when two essentially intact teams are playing, the lines are set as though the week 17 2015 versions of the teams are playing one another. For example, Miami +10.5 vs Seattle. It's way too early in the season, I believe, for the Dolphins to be declared so incompetent that they can't keep up with a flawed Seahawks team. On the other hand, I didn't feel strongly enough to include them in my 3 Locks. So let's go!

Pick #1
Buffalo Bills +3 AT Baltimore Ravens
Pick - Bills +3
The story all offseason is that Rex Ryan, coach of the Buffalo Bills, is on the hottest of hot seats going in to his second year as coach. Due to this pervasive storyline, the inclination is to believe that the Bills defense will continue it's decline, and the team overall will be sunk. If I'm wrong about this, write it up to me being a Bills fan, but last year's disappointing Buffalo defense was accompanied by the surprisingly competent and at times excellent play of quarterback Tyrod Taylor and the #1 run offense in the league last year. Even a marginal improvement in defense can bump this team up from last year's 8-8 record to a 9-7 or even 10-6 club. The road to an AFC wild card berth starts here. Bills win straight-up, and I'll take the 3 bonus points as heartbreak insurance.

Pick #2
Oakland Raiders +2.5 AT New Orleans Saints
Pick - Raiders +2.5
This is a good example of a reputation based line. People just can't seem to let 2009 and Drew Brees go. The Saints are a team in decline, and the Raiders are a team on the rise. They will compete to win their division, and will be a pain in my Bills' ass if these two teams are forced to battle each other for Wild Card playoff entries. The Raiders have a young quarterback that proved himself to be accurate and timely in his playmaking in Derek Carr, and have several solid receivers, led by breakout star Amari Cooper. The Saints lead the league in players who's names you know because they were superstars 6 years ago and currently star in soup and nyquil commercials. Take the Raiders to win straight up.

Pick #3
New York Giants -1 AT Dallas Cowboys
Another reputation game. The Cowboys have lost their starting quarterback and will be playing first year rookie Dak Prescott. On the positive side for the Cowboys, Dez Bryant is healthy and not yet sulking about being on a losing team. That's about it. The Giants aren't world-beaters, but they do stand a good chance of winning their division. They're also not at al intimidated by the atmosphere of Cowboys Stadium. The Giants win this one, and as long as it's more than a 1 point squeaker, I'm good.



State of Summer's Buffalo Bills - I rarely pick my Bills as part of my 3 Locks, because them losing alone is painful enough without the added indignity of losing money on them. So in this space over the course of the season I'll give a few brief thoughts on them, be they annoyingly optimistic or suicidal-sounding depressed. They had a tough offseason, but I think they'll be improved this year. A playoff spot is not out of the question. Dethroning the Patriots as AFC champs is the dream. Let's go Buffalo!

Week 1 results - Pick 1 - Bills 7 (+3 = 10) - Ravens 13. LOSS
Pick 2 - Raiders 35 (+2.5 = 37.5) - Saints 34. WIN
Pick 3 - Giants 20 (-1 = 19) - Cowboys 19. TIE

Hi.

It's almost football season, which means Professor Summer will be making her return soon.

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17400520/

Test your might and wits against Professor Summer's Blood Bowl 2 team! On steam!

I'm downloading that game as I type this, so it'll be an unleveled up team of rookies to start out.

If you're interested, leave me a message below.

I saw the new Ghostbusters movie, and I'm happy to report that my childhood is safe. Was never in danger, even. I liked it quite a bit, it was fun.

I enjoyed the fact that the old to new GBs were not directly linked. I liked the cameos and callbacks to the original, and I liked the new stuff too. It was a legitimately fun and entertaining movie.

If I had to point out one negative thing, there was a bit of a funky cut during the club scene. Character laying down, character not laying down in a bit of a jarring manner. Seems like something got cut or some effects didn't get finished there.

I particularly enjoyed Holtzmann. At the start of the movie I was a bit put off by her quirkiness but by the end of the film she was my favorite. Leslie Jones knocked it out of the park, too. She was on fleek.

I stayed through the credits and am now looking forward to GB2016-2.

Been getting more and more into this new *fingerquotes* "Playing games on my computer" thing. I'm really in to Rocket League and there's a lot of multiplayer fun to be had.

I love playing co-op and competitive in team like situations. I don't have the strongest computer, but I can hang (so far).

So!  starstorm from my skype group created us a little Steam community type thing....

...and here it is! http://steamcommunity.com/groups/Fuzzbutt Clicky! Come and join the funs,

Thanks to the combined efforts of my friends, I have broken down in my stubborn resolve to not play video games on my computer.

I have a Steam account now. I'll be playing older, non-graphics intensive things such as board games (Ticket to Ride, Small World 2), strategy games (Worms Revolution, Town of Salem), and some co-op stuff (Castle Crashers, and possibly Rocket League if my computer can handle it).

If you happen to be interested in playing games with me, ask me about it.

Muhammad Ali has passed away.

He is more than the greatest boxer of all time ( http://thestacks.deadspin.com/the-c.....n-i-1440585986 ) , more than the greatest trash talker of all time ( http://deadspin.com/just-watch-this-1780507560 ) , more than the greatest showman of all time, more than the inspiration for Apollo Creed, more than the broken man that he was at the end of his life.

His protest of the Vietnam War should not be minimized. He reported to camp and refused to answer the call of his name in person, rather than fleeing. He was convicted on charges related to refusing to fight in the war, and his case went all the way to the Supreme Court before that conviction was thrown out on a unanimous decision. During this time he lost 3 years of the ability to compete, which was his livelihood. His willingness to go stand for what he believed in at the peak of his athletic career speaks volumes about the courage of the man.

He was, is, and will always be The Greatest.

Whew. Just spent several hours feverishly playing the game first offline, then online.

Based on appearance alone (and Wyntersune's character Fate http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12100154/ ) I decided to go with Blaziken. Now, I have zero prior experience with Pokemon outside of their appearances in Smash brothers games, and I suck at Smash Bros, so.....yeah, I let appearances and Wynter's art inform my decision.

The first league offline seems like it was designed to encourage you. I trounced my way though the preliminaries, the tournament, and the graduation match without dropping a round.

Encouraged, I tested the waters of online friendly mode. I took on a rando from Japan, and lost 0-2, but felt like I was right there in both matches, then my next rando was a dude from Mexico, and I whooped the holy hell out of him.

Theeeeennn I played  eradragon for a bit. Every single match was a nail biter, I hope she capped them because she had a win that started out as an even trade, I took a lead, then she overcame it and won in the end. 5 matches with her, all very very tight and very fun.

Then I went to ranked, where past experiance with fighting games told me is where I would get the optimism beat out of me. NOT the case, I am happy to say. I lost some runaways, lost some tight ones, and won quite a few also! My win/loss hovered around 50% the whole time, sometimes slipping above, sometimes slipping below.

Overall, I find the game to be fast, intuitive, and rewarding for clear headed play. Most importantly, I find the game to be fun. Like really fun.

If you want a shot at me, leave a comment below or send me a note. My WiiU id is bflosummer :)

25! Suck it, world!!

Welp. Closing in on another year. Usually when I hit milestone years I get all wigged out and start some sort of self-improvement crusade. While I've recently started a diet and some exercise, I think in this coming year on this side of the grass, I'll work on accepting myself a bit more. Maybe tone down the tough-love sort of motivation I give myself. The world is hard enough, I don't need to add to it.

Age is just a number, I'm a young, immature 35 and I'll continue to be the same at 36. Taking the week following my birthday off from work to have some fun, even. Oh and I'm paying someone to come and give my apartment a balls-out cleaning, because I deserve it. XD

I recently lost out on a transformation themed YCH auction, and I'm now determined to get Summer drawn having a little accident with her goal of turning her endowment equine.

Think along the lines of what happens when you overdose on Equinium in CoC. Yeah that. That's what I want.

So like, anyone know of a well reputed TF artist taking on commissions?

Check out my good friend Rock's Street Fighter V tournament over yonder:

You don't need the game to join. You just pick a character from the roster, and wait. There are updates as the bracket progresses and it's really rather cool.

And the results are in! The Raptor Cup can be considered a success, especially for our....


GRAND CHAMPION:  eradragon

The red one was just simply too much to handle. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18910908/

RUNNER UP:  monkeycarlo

This squirrel took everything we could throw at him and came out on top. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15667031/

BRONZE MEDAL:  leika

The raptor made a lovely showing in the tournament named for her. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17541551/

Our skunkette put in a grinding, methodical effort, but came up a little behind. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10670750/

Thanks for playing, see everyone next weekend!

As a follow up to last night's racing, this afternoon there will be a open tournament in Smash Bros for WiiU.

Presenting the Raptor Cup Open, from 1pm Eastern time (a little less than one hour from now) to 4pm!

To join, go to the tournament section under "online events", and enter tournament ID: 28316757902443 the password for the tournament is: leika  leika

You don't even need to be on my friend's list to join.

Tournaments work by having open lobbies during the time of the tournament, as lobbies fill the fights will go off, and the rankings will be determined by total points earned. Good luck!

Wooooo, okay, the races have been raced, the shells have been shot, and the track has been jumped by a skunk many a time. The results of tonight's FurryDerby are in!

A full YouTube capture is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeQ.....ature=youtu.be
It's long and raw, but just in case you'd want to see it there it be.

A quick note about the standings. I took the raw points earned per race, and divided it by the number of races that person stuck around for. We ran 6 grand prix, so I made the number 5 races participated in the minimum to qualify for grand champion.

GRAND CHAMPION:  dastiger (4th, 2nd, 2nd, 1st, 1st / 5 races = 11pts)
What can I say? The toothcat races as good as he looks. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16835385/

SO SO CLOSE: K++ (3rd, 1st, 4th, 1st, 2nd, 4th / 6 races = 10.5 pts)
K++ doesn't have art or an FA, but he took a screenshot for us: http://8ch.net/v/src/1454213029489.jpg

K++ is also to thank for capturing the entire session and uploading it to youtube.

A FUTURE THREAT:  monkeycarlo (1st, 3rd, 6th, 4th, 3rd, 3rd / 6 races = 9.6 pts)
Jaffa was tearing up the track, and lost some ground during one middling series. He may have been distracted. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15857216/


Honorable Mention!!

 eradragon Juuuuust missed the leader board
 bluewulv Only raced 4 times, stood a good chance of top 3 had he stuck around

King of the disconnect!!

 vibershot poor guy just couldn't stay glued to Earth

Masters of Disaster:
Whether through bad luck of getting hammered with items, or just not being able to stay on the track, our participation award winners for trying real real good but being real real bad goes to...
 summer
and
 Xpray

Maybe the dragon and skunk were too busy playing grab ass with one another to be any good in the actual race.

Also worth mentioning is  syphon who literally bought the game today and performed very solidly, landing right in the middle at 5th place

and

 Shibiru and  spyingredfox who would have been verrrry threatening had they stuck around longer. Both of them had impressive finishes but had to go. We'll see the impact they cause the next time we do this.


Thank you everyone for participating!

Okay!! The first ever planned private session of Splatoon went off tonight. I had some good ideas and some misguided ones. What went well is that the freedom to rotate through the maps kept things fresh. What I could have done better was reshuffle the teams more frequently. Best of 7 can drag on, I should have went three to more rapidly change things up.

Here are the results!

Series 1, Turf Wars...Best of 7
Winners:
 mizukame
 dastiger
 sineotter
 summer


Series 2: Rainmaker Best of 3
Winners:
 shibiru
 mizukame
 sineotter
 summer


Series 3: Splat Zones, Best of 3
 uthra
 mizukame
 shibiru
 summer
