Greetings friends,
Four years have passed since your friendly bookie last made
an attempt to crudely catalog the massive tome of wonkish green text that gave
us all a convenient excuse to goof off with friendly bets and puerile humor. I’m
pleased to report that—after once again forgoing the recommended CT Scan—I’m
actually rather looking forward to reconnecting with all of irreverent rubes
again over the course of this Summer’s Festivities.
Total pages generated by this humble Sportsbook now exceed 2000. Hence, the index below won’t exactly assist you in located some harebrained rant your friendly bookie wrote about Uzbek Parliamentary Elections twelve years ago….but that’s a database deficiency we can surely learn to live with.

Below you’ll find a nicely segmented guide to sixteen years
of preposterously proud mediocrity! Get those spreadsheets ready, gentlemen. Prepare
for a glorious Summer of pleasant distraction. Lord knows we need it. This
ever-shifting World takes itself entirely too seriously. Bring on the football!
