Open: A bar, tastefully decorated. Oh yes, there are ferns. Conversations can be had, although one has to lean close to do so. Three athletic looking men sit at a quiet corner table engaged in conversation. One can't quite make out what they're drinking but it looks like some kind

Wandering around the dial, (the 'dial'?) I see that Red Dawn is on AMC at 8 pm EST. The original. Speaking of Swayze, can I share something with you? I've never watched "Point Break". I guess sky-diving bank robbers isn't my thing. TO THE GAMES. All of two of them games

Let's face it: Nobody cares about the Pro Bowl. The game itself inspires about as much enthusiasm - and has approximately the same stakes - as an average Texans game. After an entire season of having their bodies pummeled, players have little interest in subjecting themselves to further punishment, and have similarly

I didn't want to do this but sometimes you must stick your neck out and say what needs to be said. (by the by, this may not apply to all you big folks in the big cities) I double-checked the Social Contract and it clearly states that when one is

DFO’s Pro Bowl Gambling Spectacular! Part I

ballsofsteelandfury - January 26, 2016January 26, 2016

Since betting on the Pro Bowl is the most insanely stupid thing anyone can do, you bet your sweet ass that we are all over it! The teams for the Pro Bowl will be "drafted" on Wednesday and the odds and prop bets will be out shortly thereafter. In the

I woke up this morning and for some reason there was a "giddy-up" in my step. Huh. The two over-easy eggs that I made tasted much better than usual. Weird. Later on at work a strategy I've been labouring on to increase revenue came into sharp focus. Interesting. The air

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Conference Championship Edition

Reflections

King Hippo - January 25, 2016January 24, 2016

Bear with me, folks. I am REALLY crunk. This has almost happened before. The Hippo Bowl. My favourite team, since I was two years old (the Denver Broncos - it makes no logical sense, but my mom will attest that it is indeed true), and the team that

I like both these teams. Both will perform very well in the last game of the year against either AFC champion. (What? Did you think that as of [checks pocket watch] 3:32 EST I know who won the AFC thingy?) Rivera and Arians both deserve all the kudos for taking

Commentist Beer Barrel: Yes We Can

makeitsnowondem - January 24, 2016

Austin is a great, great place to be a beer nerd, with roughly two dozen breweries and a wide variety of beer from all across the country on the shelves. When I first moved back to Austin eight years ago, though, the landscape looked very different. Preposterous licensing fees and nonsensical
