An Englishman Writes…

As an English NFL fan I don’t really get a chance to interact with other fans in my daily life. Sites like this are pretty much my only outlet for my own insane ramblings and thoughts regarding the NFL, American culture, and in all honesty pretty much everything because nobody ever listens to me.

Now, incredibly, I have been allowed to spew my inner dialogue all over these fine pages by people who are probably far too trusting. How soon they may regret that decision…

But to business! I intend, whenever I get the chance, to provide quickfire opinions on the NFL (and anything else that may take my fancy. Usually food), hopefully to provoke debate and the obligatory dick jokes and GIF’s. You may agree, you may hate my guts, you may think ‘who is this guy and why am I reading his worthless opinions?’. I probably don’t care. I really just want to do my bit to keep the spirit of KSK alive. So onwards with my first foray into this new fangled ‘blogging’.

 

– The Hall of Fame game: why do I always get excited about this? Flicking onto NFL.com instantly provides the inevitable articles such as’ what did we learn from this game?’ etc. Nothing. We learnt nothing, because there was nothing worth learning that we didn’t already know. Did you know Mike Wallace can still only run in straight lines no matter what colour jersey he wears?

– Also some breaking news: The Bills QB battle is the equivalent of a ‘Who has the Least Debilitating Skin Condition’ competition (mark my words this will be picked up by a network any day). Other breaking news: Earth still orbits the sun; Bears still defecate in the woods; Darren McFadden is injured.

– Cam Newton got into a fight at training camp: I am officially sounding a Red Alert for incoming Hot Taeks.

– Shaun Suisham has apparently torn his ACL and is out for the year. Looks like the Steelers are in need of a kicker who inexplicably misses important kicks at the worst times. May I suggest David Akers, a trade for Mason Crosby, or perhaps even a return to the NFL for Nate Kaeding?

– Looking ahead in Fantasy, who is your ‘guaranteed high pick who will be a bust and make you want to smother him in fire ants’ player? Mine is Demarco Murray. I am fairly certain that I will draft Murray 3rd overall only for him to go back to his glory days of breaking 36 bones by week 3.

– I am attending all 3 games at Wembley this year and have always enjoyed it. It also points to the endless futility of the Jaguars that despite them having signed up to play games here for the next few years, their game is still the only game to not yet sell out. Nobody here wants the Jags. Please, keep them.

– Jesus Christ the pre-season is boring.

 

My Ideas for New DFO features (possibly Plagiarized)

Larks with Peter King – A weekly look at Peter King’s most recent self satisfied brain fart.

This week in Screw You – A topic gets screwed. Hard.

Fans react pretty damn unreasonably – Mining for Taeks in the moron mines.

DFO’s Last 7 days in Review – A look back at the most important news of the week. I mean last 7 days.

The Fuck Uproxx Column – Essentially the 2 minutes hate from 1984. (and I’m actually serious about this one).

 

Finally, a non-NFL thought. One thing that has baffled me for many years now is the existence of a certain Clan Kardashian. Possibly my least favourite American import of all time, which meant that this video made me smile, or at least on the inside because I am no longer capable of being outwardly happy. Enjoy:

I hope you enjoyed your first (maybe) venture into what the mind of a dangerous lunatic feels like. I’m hoping to create some more content for this blog of heroes so look out, unless you are all so mean to me that you hurt my feelings.

You really should change your profile name to “Spotted Dick”.

I actually would like to see some local FJM styles. As I’ve noted, Phoenix sports coverage is pretty damn cool when it comes to TAEKS but I understand you east coasters have some quality content to work with.

So, yes, I just presented an idea then gave myself an excuse not to have to do any work towards it.

As a vengeful Skins fan, I am not upset that Shaun Suisham is hurt.

Don T

There are no wrong opinions. Only wrong crowds. Of lemmings.
DeMarco will totally be a bust. Why no one eould have Rodgers top three, I really dint’t lnow. First up, Bears D.

scotchnaut

Totally with you on DeMarco-the first year he’s completely healthy and he’s given 449 total touches. There’s no way he makes it through the season without an injury.

ballsofsteelandfury

Yup. Of course, in one of my leagues he’s my only option as a keeper and he costs me an 8th rounder. Decisions!

England also gave us a woman who has the presence to make me forget Tom Cruise for an entire movie; great job Emily.

I’m all for the fuck Uproxx segment. Not just because of the Black Friday fallout. The content over there has been rapidly declining and the commenters (especially on the other sites, such as Warming Glow). Oh, and they started moderating the comments pretty heavily. In fact, I’ll start: the content on KSK the last two days has been hilarious. The comment section is just a barren abyss. How many weeks until the fold and give up? I’m going with week 4 of the regular season.

ssi_bulldawg

Still learning the ropes over here. Is there an edit button? Up top should have said ‘and the commenters have become more and more trollish, without any real self moderation from the other commenters.’ Basically, it’s become the rest of the internet over there: terrible, and with less porn….but for the awesome comments that, as of this afternoon, were still at the bottom of the final KSK post.

ballsofsteelandfury

I think we need to, to paraphrase PFTCommenter, act like we’ve been there before. They’re bad and we all know it. There’s no need to pay attention to them anymore.

Time to move on.

Doktor Zymm

It’s like a normal football post, but with custard poured all over it!

Old School Zero

Shoulder bacon sandwiches for everyone!

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Is that one of those English fetishes like spanking?

ThePirateSloth

God dammit, who let someone pour vinegar all over everything!

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I think that is a Dutch fetish.

ballsofsteelandfury

Like the Dutch oven?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I don’t follow the trends, but I think it is referred to as a ‘Deuce Dutch Douche.’ Obviously the Germans are responsible for this corrupted cultural Conflation.

Old School Zero

An English NFL fan writes for us?

Huh. No wonder we just got an adbuy request from RogerGoodellLondonExpansionPlans.com.

More foreigners taking our (unpaid) jobs. The Trumpocalypse can’t get here soon enough!

Old School Zero

Also, I got an email from [email protected] asking if our Englishman is also a Native American.

SonOfSpam

He is known as Sips Tea With Raised Pinky.

Old School Zero

I always knew Whittard of Chelsea was an indigenous name.

trollsoharduniversity

When I’m watching the London Buggers (nee Jaguars) take on the Los Angeles Dude Bros (nee Rams), that’s when I’ll listen to some limey bastard talk about footbaw.

trollsoharduniversity

Who am I kidding? I regularly listen to Troy Aikman call footbaw games. No limey could possibly do worse.

Lothar of the Hill People

Just thinking about it, we Americans can be pissed at Canada for the shit people they’ve foisted on us: Pam Anderson, Bieber, Dave Coulier, Alannis Morrisette, etc.

But Britain hasn’t sent us their lemons, has it? I mean, we’ve got some pretty decent limeys in the states. John Oliver… ummm… Lucy Pinder… umm… well, no Bieber, at least.

What have we given Britain? Do we export our douches there the way Canada does to us?

(Hell, we even get the good Aussies here.)

ballsofsteelandfury

Plus, we have received Benny Hill, Monty Python, and amazing beer.

We give them Kardashians, the Jags, and a league for their old footballers to retire.

What I’m saying is: We’re really sorry!

SonOfSpam

We also gave them Madonna, but I think she found her way back.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Canada exposed us to Nickelback. In turn, we sent Gwynneth Paltrow to England. So I think now it’s England’s turn to do something nasty to Canada.

Lothar of the Hill People

So the DFO version of Trevour Risque is English, eh?

I guess we still get all the “u”s in armour and flavour, as well as the Queen telling you what to do, right?

Lothar of the Hill People

One of my grad school profs is/was British (“was” because he’s been a US citizen since around the time I was born), and when the big wedding happened, he scoffed about “those inbred Germans” in the royal family.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Why are you so bitter about Elton John?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I went to Wembley to see the Bears play the Bucs a couple years back. A local asked me some questions and then kept sending me facebook messages months after the game. Was that you?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

RTD: Changlorious Bastard? Englishman? Who approved this guy?

RTD’s BRAIN: Quiet, it might be you. I can’t remember.

RTD: No, I’m gonna ask DTZM…

RTD’s BRAIN: No, no! Why embarrass us both? Just give him editor status and I’ll release some more endorphins…

Darkest Timeline Zack Morris

This was, by far, the classiest post in the history of DFO. I read it entirely in the dulcet tones of Sir Patrick Stewart.

Darkest Timeline Zack Morris

Um, I live in Illinois. I’m fairly sure that you would IMMEDIATELY sound like the smartest person here if you visited.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

The avatar made me expect a mix of Cockney and Chang’s worst; totally incomprehensible.

Lothar of the Hill People

Is that close to John Oliver’s accent? He can sound pretty posh.

If Posh had Beckham’s dick in her mouth, that is.

Horatio Cornblower

That was a cracking debut.

SonOfSpam

“Larks with Peter King”

In which Peter King pours nutmeg on small songbirds and devours them whole.

ballsofsteelandfury

You should have seen how much we made fun of a Canadian. It’s all good, though.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

No way! I lost my virginity to a Canadian! Maybe you know her – she lives at Niagara Falls.

/yo, scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours, buddy.

Lothar of the Hill People

Niagara Falls?!?!

SLOWLY I TURN, STEP BY STEP, INCH BY INCH…

SonOfSpam

Yes, quite.

/fills up a lorry with petrol

Something something queue something bloody something mind the gap something bullocks!

SonOfSpam

I hope you wrote this with a fag in your mouth.

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

My wife introduced me to that movie. Surprisingly underrated

ballsofsteelandfury

One of my favorites. The Vandersexxxx scene cracks me up every time.

Shit, I meant to say favourite!

Cuntler

This isn’t where I parked my car.

/and then one day he grew up to be Tim on Justified

MikeWallaceAndGromit

My favorite part was when you used “learnt”.

ballsofsteelandfury

You had me with the extra U’s.
