Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 14

Reflections

King Hippo - December 14, 2015December 13, 2015

Remember how glorious Week 13 was? Well, this was pretty much the exact opposite. BOO THIS WEEK. I will get the elephant in the room out of the way immediately. My Donks seemingly had things on cruise control, with the defense looking more dominant than ever, a 9-0

NE @ Hou: The Gronk is listed as Questionable. The player most statistically invested in him playing is not Gronk, it's Br*dy. Mike Sando has pointed out that since 2010 when Gronk entered the league, Brady is 182/42 with respect to TD/Int's when the former is on the field. When

Oh wait. It's just two freaking games. Nevermind. Oak @ Den: Oakland is progressing just fine right now but it seems to be Denver's time to shine. In this pass-happy-friendly league what the Bronc's "No Fly Zone" have accomplished beggars belief. CB's Talib, Harris Jr. and Roby have yet to allow a

Eleven freaking games now and only two at the late afternoon spot? [sighs] Buf @ Phi: The Bills have played five games this year in which they've not turned the ball over. Guess what their record is in those games? If you said 5-0 I'd have to ask you why you're

His Right Honorable Lord Lordship the Lordly - December 13, 2015

Week 14 is here. Not much to speak of in college football besides a closer than expected Army-Navy game and some FCS playoffs. I hope you guys enjoyed some triple-option kakke. Updated 506 maps: Week 14, Broadcast Maps Carl picks Browns-9ers. Carl is 7-6 for the year. Carl's Pick, 49ers-[*Redacted] s

Commentist Beer Barrel: Barrels and Barrels of Barrels

makeitsnowondem - December 12, 2015

Beer, as most of you know, is really good. Another thing that many of you also know is that liquor is also good. But as with many pairs of things that are good individually (ice cream and hot sauce! sex and skiing!), combining the two can be dicey. Maybe you pour

Yes, the weekend has finally come when I have no JV NFL to preview. The world is colder and more barren than usual. And I promised my kids we would go get a Christmas tree this afternoon. Timing is not exactly coincidental. I will likely fuck

Sexy Friday Hops Aboard the Bandwagon

Most of this week is garbage time football between dumpster fires of teams (Bills @ Eagles; 49ers @ Browns; Washington @ Bears). But the worst part is the Cowbows @ Packers — a titantic battle between teams to see who has the most bandwagon fans.

With the Arizona defeating the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday Night Football, the Cardinals have clinched a playoff birth and sit with a magic number of one to clinch the NFC West title. Having already accomplished their third consecutive 10-win season, locking down the division is especially important as, playing second (or

Start Or Sit (On Your Face): The DFO Fantasy/Sex Mailbag

The Maestro - December 11, 2015

I've felt out of the loop on most sports things this week. I dunno why. Apparently the Vikes-Cards game was good last night? Regardless, I've got the weekend to get myself turned around and sufficiently intoxicated on both sports and alcohol, so hope is not lost for me. Hopefully your fantasy

Under The Moosemas Tree (A HRTN Holiday Special, Part 2)

Narrator: Welcome back to the Under the Moosemas Tree Holiday Special, brought to you by Beer. Remember, for all your holiday needs, there's Beer. The scene: The DFO clubhouse, where Darkest Timeline Zach Morris is finishing stacking up boxes of cookies against a wall. DTZM: Well, that's the last

Min @ Ari: Everything points to this game going the Cards way, doesn't it? Some fantasy advice I came across on one site stated, "START ALL THE CARDINALS YOU CAN!". If this was a game of Clue As Foreign Films I'd say, "Arizona/Brando in the empty apartment with a stick
