[DOOR FLIES OPEN]

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.

Welcome to all the new folks; welcome back to all the current folks, and enjoy your evening here at [DFO].
