I enjoyed watching the end of the Tour De France today. The whole three weeks are a fun travelogue, but the combination of pomp & circumstance plus actual race reminds me that I should get back in the saddle before I bulk up too much & have to buy a stronger frame to hold me up. Also, thanks to recent medical issues, I have to wear ladies shorts to accommodate certain new realities of life. But it beats cancer.
A reminder that all teams should have their full training camps underway this coming week, and the Hall of Fame Game is just 11 days away, on Thursday, August 3rd. The only issue will be if they get the stadium finished on time, which is a prelude to the panic in advance of Atlanta’s home opener in Megatron’s butthole (™ Drew Magary).
Of course, the upcoming season means more of DFO’s A.Ward winning coverage of the NFL, starting with team previews. Look forward to my coverage of the Falcons, whom I compared to mayonnaise last year. WHAT CONDIMENT AWAITS 2017?!
Tonight’s sports:
- Beisbol:
- Cardinals at Cubs – 8:00 PM | ESPN / TSN2
- Futbol:
- MLS:
- Vancouver at Portland – 6:30 PM | FS1 / TSN
- CONCACAF Gold Cup Soccer 2017:
- Semifinal #2: Mexico vs Jamaica – 9:00 PM | FS1 / UNI / TSN

I’m guessing the Gold Cup match will be most fun on Univision.
But you know the Trump government’s got a plan. ICE RAID ON VISITNG FANS!
Every 6 hours I run into 15 minutes of fighting to log in to the site. That seems like a lot of trying to log in but I have been hurt or sick for like a week and unless I get REALLY drunk I get at best 4 hours of sleep then I have to do something. Also I have a 102 fever and have been actively hallucinating most of the the night. This is unrelated but I had some fun ones and some that were awful.
Is it weird that I’m a dude and really like reading advice columns? Would I write an advice columnist about my predilection for advice columns?
Maybe you should write an advice column for the blog.
And yes, it’s weird that you’re a dude.
So who else can’t wait to not see the emoji movie?
I can’t wait to not see the stupid fucking billboards for it anymore.
Drunk.
Going to Emerald Isle, NC for a week tomorrow. Anyone have any wisdom there?
I hate to say this, but I agree with Jerrah (shudder). You ain’t got SHIT on Zeke. Let him eat.
I regrettably have your back on this.
It’s amazing how if a star player on a team you hate has off-field issues, you say HANG HIM OUT TO DRY AND SET AN EXAMPLE FOR THE CHILDREN!!
But if it’s a star player on your team…
“Oh c’mon, let the guy play already!”
By you, I don’t mean “you” of course.
You think he gets 1, 2, or 3 games?
I feel three coming. Get it over with early.
Emerald Isle proper? South (west) end of island?

Great pizza place in same strip mall type thingy, along with other various restaurants and shops. Big grocery store too.
Half hour drive to other end of island (Morehead City) is a buttload of other stuff. Sanitary Fish Market is just across the bridge. And it’s better than it sounds.

Many thanks. I’ll stay in touch for real time suggestions. Me and the wife need some “time together”. How’s the drive?
Pretty easy, rarely much traffic. Especially on a Monday.
Used to have a place down there, pretty much lived there in the early 90s. Feel free to give a shout.

I wish they’d make up their minds:
Holy shit. This is the hardest I’ve worked on a Sunday Evening since I had a girlfriend.
How the fuck you doing folks!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWtCittJyr0
Right?
All good sir!
Loved your Sunday Gravy post. Carnitas are the shit, nothing like Mexican pulled pork.
I hate when people jack a post and say “here is how I do that”…but here’s how I do that:
That’s some fine looking pig you’re cooking there!
You’re doing the Lord’s work!
Actually, I don’t use the grill for carnitas, I was just making those tonight and took a pic. The meat is actually boneless pork ribs. Not sure if that is widely available, but it’s all the shit for carnitas. It’s even already cut to the perfect size for your recipe.
Damn Moose, did everybody bail on us already? I just got home!
Nope, just dealing with some other stuff too.
How dare you have a life beyond our boundaries!
Meh, figured I’d give it a try.
Don’t like it much.
Understood, it’s safer in here.
Later.
How many times do we have to tell you to stop pumping your shotgun in public?
Just got back from seeing Dunkirk.
Wow, all previous reviews are on point to say the least. I’ll say this much, all other movies for 2017 may as well be silent, this film has the Oscar for sound effects and musical score all wrapped up.
That was some intense film work. Amazing stuff.
He OG’d!!!!!
Well, that would make you……
Coach of the Patriots?
Not so “super” when you’re try to keep your fish tank maintained, are Mr. Man?
Cadillac station wagon.
I want that to take me to my grave.
That might be an issue though, as I have no intention of ever dying.
Still, damn good girlfriend.
So this is how my day went:
If you know what it means, then you know what I went through
Make your nerd jokes, make your 1st world problem jokes, make your bad luck brocky jokes
Lets just say I’m glad I wasn’t the one driving on the way home
Didn’t get an Articuno today, but I did get a Lugia so I’ll call it a wash.
I didn’t even see any lugia’s. fml right?
The advantage of where I am is the dearth of gyms. In my neck of the woods, say, a half-mile radius, there are about 6 gyms, plus then any number of gyms a short drive away.
Also the Lugia fight is hilarious because it’s even larger than the others, so everything looks insect-like to it. Which screws with you a little on the fight.
I’m sure Sessions is having a wet dream about sending the DEA to the Gold Cup match. Think of all the ganja smoking Jamaicans he can have arrested and all of the asset forfeiture possibilities.
I first read that as “Fuck boys”. I was worried that Marc Tresman came.
or was at least getting ready to come ,, amirite??
I’m doing just fine Brockster.
Not yet drunk, but working on it.
Hey, I finally got my regular avatar to show up instead of my dumb actual face. Turns out it’s somewhat easier to figure out how to do it when you’re not nine sheets to the wind. Who knew?
Yeah, but don’t you want something a little less… Spanoi?
Who wants a shot?
I do have that little bottle of rice wine, but that’s not for shots as much as it is for self-combustion.
From Rex’s dark side collection?
Fire up that loud!
So many running backs to choose from the man at the bar says. I counter with Sam Bradford at qb. He says he is underated. I ask if if has ever seen RAM IT.
Then I showed him the video, he then bought me a beer.
spreading the Gospel, my good man!
Anyone got donuts to share?
no, but now I want some
and I’m fat enough already CUB FAN ASSHOLE!! 😀
I got apple fritters.
double shit!
Here in North Dak Dak Dakota they seem to think that the Purple Bjorns are going to win the division no question.
you wud think they’d convert to Dallas after the new QB ,, smh
How are they going to beat anyone after the switch at RB?

And how is that “state?”
It’s like the GoT writers had a competition to come up with the two worst characters to pair together in a relationship:
“How about the brainwashed eunuch slave with no personality and the interpreter who isn’t necessary anymore because her employer speaks most languages anyway.”
I’d let her shoot me. Wouldn’t you?
Only if she’d let me shoot her back.
Or on her back even.
“Obviously we can’t put Michael Phelps in one lane and a great white shark in the other.”
Well why the fuck do we care then?
The Cubs are the only stupid team who can’t figure out how to put out barely-capable major leaguer Randal Grichuk.
it is much appreciate
/of course our dumb fuck manager let Wacha throw 119 pitches last time out for no fucking reason (5-0 win) so it gets tied back up real quick-like
So I went and jumped through all the stupid hoops to fix my little picture and it doesn’t appear to be fixed.
Why does WordPress make this so fucking hard?
Edit: So I guess cussing at it fixed it.
FUCK FUCK FUCK YEAH
Ever since their competition geocities bit the dust WordPress is just resting on its laurels.
And this “make all the avatars round” movement is dumb. I want my damned corners back.
They must still be mad at the germans about something

See my answer below
About to go see Dunkirk, I’ll report my opinion upon return. I believe I’ll find it to be a positive experience.
Oh, be forewarned. I sling out spoilers like a lawn sprinkler. Here’s an example:
Germany lost.
Modest proposal: I be able to drink blackout for the next ten years and then contribute again to society
So you’re assuming Trump will win a second term?
Nah, then I would have just started drinking knowing there won’t be anything to worry about in ten years.
Looking forward to Most Glorious el beisbol Cardinals ruining the last bit of el weekend.
I’m already here jackass.
Also, where’s the instructions for updating avatars?
Step 1: Steal underpants
This makes more sense than creating a wp account.
You must gravatar. Which is through WordPress, nawt DFO.
Gotta log in to wordpress.com and create an account. Once in, upload your gravatar and hopefully your soul will remain intact,
Stupid wordpress
I like the Doobie Brothers.
Remember this?
