It’s been a fairly hectic time on the old internets this week. My Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, made the news by avoiding Halloween costumes this year, because – well, you know…
He just ran out of ideas.
The Not-Montreal-Expos won the World Series, touching off a strenuous yet polite online debate in Canada about whether this counts as an Expos victory since they are part of the heritage of that team. The correct answer: it does not, and further debate only serves to make Youppi cry.
Deadspin died, and with it a lot of keyboards went silent. Well, while we can’t resolve the previous two, we here at [DFO] are more than happy to welcome any of those wayward souls to our happy little corner of the internet. Have a look over our welcome page, and hopefully you want to join us in maintaining the snarky fun that was the mainstay of our former home, KSK.
For those of you who are still learning about our fair site, the weekends are a little more casual. Saturday mornings (and non-football Sundays), as you may have seen, are usually devoted to discussing Lesser Footy (aka, “soccer”) and Lesser Aussie Footy (aka, the “AFL”, Crikey! edition) when in season. The evening posts are usually sorbets for the next day’s football action, but are also home to a rabid pack of Canadian Commentists who rave about hockey & complain at the volume of Leafs coverage in our media.
I’m Beerguyrob, and I’ll be your server this evening.
We think you’ll agree: [DFO] – we’re not Drew Magary, but we’re also not AJ Daulerio.

Anyhoo – that’s how Saturday nights look. I ramble a bit; we talk about football broadcasts; and then we entertain ourselves with jokes & gifs until one by one we all fall asleep or blackout. If you remember KSK, it’s how the live blogs went.
Welcome to all the new folks; welcome back to all the current folks, and enjoy your evening here at [DFO].
So I am watching Wick 3. This shit is in-fucking-sane.
Eric Trump posts about the UFC crowd chanting “Donald Trump, Donald Trump… USA USA” and as evidence includes…a photograph.
I didn’t think they could get dumber…and then this election cycle happened
It can always get dumber.
I want to run for an open office where I live, but I’m also terrified of running for office.
She’s seems friendly
Sup
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh sorry, I thought you were someone else.
I’m up for a very limited subset of whatever
I got a bleached asshole, want to party?
Modern beauty rituals have very little to do with my interests.
I’ve got a bunch of scotch and some vegan ice cream, so that’s my party.
Vegan ice cream? The fuck?
It’s LA, dude. And it’s delicious.
Isn’t vegan ice cream just cold salad?
Over of us! One of us!

THE POWER OF CHRIST!
UVA wins the Coastal Division, so long as they beat Georgia Tech (who lost to fucking Citadel) at home. If U*NC loses at Pitt, then NC State can keep them out of a bowl. THAT IS ALL THE POTENTIAL JOY LEFT FOR HIPPO, THEN I CAN DIE HAPPY.
There is the Dolphins going 0-16 & Mercury Morris choking to death on perfect season champagne.
A more amusing version of the UFC Trump booing

It’s time to send Trump to NASCAR just as a social experiment
I think it’s time for him to visit one of his summer camp concentration camps.
yeah but Clinton killed a guy.
I like how (in addition to the one close to the camera) you can distinctly hear someone in the distance yelling “FUCK YOU!”
Hook it up to my veins
“In a minute, in a minute.” – Ryan Leaf
“Yeah, wait your turn.” – Todd Marinovich
“OUTTA MY WAY!” -Max Hall
I mean it makes sense for him to go. Two Latino men fighting in a cage? Sounds right up Trump’s alley.
I want to see him in Philly.
I just turned on El Camino. Worth my Saturday Night’s time? Or should I just sleep?
It was pretty good. Better than the Romney Bowl.
Now, to sleep in preparation/despair. SEE YOU ALL FOR ALL 14 MANDATORY HOURS MANANA.
How fun would it be if Disney did a remake of Planet of the Apes except instead of apes it was lots of Mickey and Minnie mouse who had taken over?
That is all, I’m off to a place called ‘Taco’s and Beer’
Is there room for one more?
It’s the one franchise they haven’t taken over!
That would be good. I think you’d need some plutos in there too.
As a Corvette/Impala owner, I really don’t care about Mustangs. I hope they get run off a cliff.
As a former mustang owner, I miss my mustang
as an owner of a non-descript Nissan, after 10 years of minivan? I don’t get laid very often.
My fuel efficient mitsubishi crossover has me just swimming in pussy
chuh fookin’ chuh!
I’m a fan of the animal, indifferent towards the car
I like the boat-tail vette better than the convertible, but I like that ’66 SS (I think) better than both.
Fedex is going to blow this
They’re not really going for 2 here…are they?
they got it
Indeed.
Nah.
Oh wait.
I saw someone do the maths on it, and it’s correct to go for 2 late, down 8.
God bless Drew for making the list and also fucking it up.

The last great American hero.
We need to get Drew to post here. It is his spiritual home after all. Poster Emeritus?
I reached out to him a couple of days ago and didn’t hear a peep back. I am not surprised, nor offended – I am sure he has plenty of people offering to host anything he wants to write about.
Um I’m I’m going to do it. I know Drew he’s the Oracle. He’s both fat and Minnesota’s best!
Don’t Forget.
I mean, you don’t wanna miss the Hou/Jax kickoff do ya????
Houston-Jaxoff? Isn’t that on pornhub on demand?
To the Balls Signal!
Couldn’t care less about that game; extra hour of booze!
MANDATORY is MANDATORY

SMU still has life here
I love that joke about how they finally made it back into D-1 football just in time for it to be okay to pay players.
BANANACAKES reception in the Dead Hookers-Fedex match-up.
Not sure they allow scholarships on defense in this league.
a Mormon rumble on ESPN2. BYU vs Utah St.
I thought the whole point of Utah was so non mormons had a place to have premarital sex

it tis gonna be a looooonnnnnngggggg season for the warriors.
uttt ohhhhhh
They are no Spurs. We will have our revenge for Zaza and Kawhi
Hey, they’re not all dead! Wait, never mind.

THANK FUCK, U*NC will not win their division, at least.
Is there a spelling bee involved?
“If you can spell pass you pass!”
“Uh, t…”
“Close enough!”
At least they’ll now have an extra week to study and prepare for final ex…..
LMFAO, I can’t finish the sentence.

How they are not in the Rock Hall of Fame demonstrates how screwed up that whole thing is.
What WCS said!
I mean, I’m not gonna pretend to be an expert on music, but as someone who grew up exposed to a lot of classic rock, can’t say I’ve heard of these guys.
That’s probably more on me though being a youngin. My dad nearly had a fucking exentsial crisis when I explained to him I didn’t know the band yes.
Is there just some sort of “funnel effect” on what “classic songs” still get radio play?
OTA can not play this song.
I feel that the winnowing process for classic rock has been more help than harm. Mostly (mostly) the real crap has been filtered out and you can use what you like from the canon as a starting place for more obscure stuff. With the advent of youtube and algorithms, I haven’t even had to work that hard.
Also: Yes is self-indulgent prog rock tripe, and you didn’t miss shit. I got tricked into listening by a college girlfriend who thought she had discovered a lost Dead Sea Scroll…
Oregon seems determined to have every member of the defense disqualified for targeting.

Lookit the bollocks on JV FedEx!
In other news, I’m glad I decided not to bet today.
And by “decided”, of course I mean fell asleep and didn’t wake up until after kickoff.
I got a sick pet
Got to feed her by hand …
https://postimg.cc/34R9pNKT
Yes….she bites….
Keep her away from tWBS
Got one whose arthritis has gotten so bad that it might be time for that last trip to the vet. Hoping another medicine that was recommended to me by my weed dealer/fellow dog lover recommended when he visited the other day. I was hoping the hobbled limping around was because of the cold front that ame through, but she hasn’t improved. NOT looking forward to this.
It’s been a while since I’ve had to go through it. We got two dogs within a year of eachother which seemed great at the time, but will undoubtedly feel like a huge mistake ~15 years from now
