The worst part about the offseason is trying to come up with things to talk about. Even though there is still some NBA playoffs to come – given its TV-friendly scheduling, it might be on until August – we are in a holding pattern until training camps start at the end of the month.

It also doesn’t help that the Tv market is so fractured that I can’t even count on the services I pay for to cover the sports I want to watch.

For example, as I raged about earlier this week, the Gold Cup is only available in Canada if I pony up for the specialized digital soccer channel. Sure, it’s only $100/year, but that’s on top of the TV channels I already pay for – which includes all the major cable sports channels. I don’t want to have to pay extra for soccer, rugby, AFL, and cricket. Sure I survived the pandemic with my job, but I want to have money for beers after I retire.

This is just me yelling into the void.

Tonight’s sports:

  • NBA:
    • Bucks at Suns – 9:00pm | ABC / Sportsnet
  • MLB: (COVID-tests pending)
    • Astros at White Sox / Giants at Cardinals / Red Sox at Yankees – 7:00pm | FOX
    • Red Sox at Yankees – 7:00pm | Sportsnet1
  • Futbol:
    • Gold Cup:
      • Grenada vs. Qatar – 7:30pm
      • Panama vs. Honduras – 9:30pm
    • MLS:
      • Toronto FC vs. Orlando – 7:30pm | TSN
      • Whitecaps FC vs. LA Galaxy – 10:00pm | TSN
  • Fisticuffs:
    • Showtime Boxing:
      • Charlo vs. Castano – 9:00pm | TSN3
    • UFC Fight Night: Makhachev vs. Moises
      • Prelims – 8:00pm | TSN5
      • Main card – 10:00pm | TSN5
  • AFL:
    • Adelaide vs. West Coast – 2:30am | FS2

At least there’s stuff to watch tonight. I shudder to think what tomorrow will bring.

Still love watching old Anthony Bourdain episodes, but tinged with a bit of grim sadness now.
Going to see the movie just out about him, but think I’ll wait till I can watch it at home though…

Woo hoo. I’m drunk & wandering around downtown Vancouver. Half the places I want to visit are closed, which sucks because I could get free drinks there because I taught a bartender.

2
Dunstan

I’ve taught bartenders a lot, too. Mainly, “don’t serve that guy.”

Free drinks are extra tasty!

Going to pick up those dirty films was how Telly first joined the “Players With Yourself Club.” Which, sadly, I cannot find on YouTube.

Whoa, this goat brie is intense. Wasn’t going to drink tonight, but might have to pair a glass of wine with this.

1

Intensely goaty, intensely ammoniated, or both?

Doktor Zymm

Oof, okay, this is too overripe even for me. Wussing out and switching to some Drunken goat cheese instead

0
BeefReeferLives

Ach. Yeah. Love some runny brie, but when it tastes like you’re licking a goat, no thanks…

1
Doktor Zymm

Made a nice little platter with some bread and apple slices. I’ve got this meyer lemon honey that goes really well with the much milder Drunken goat

Gumbygirl

Meyer lemon honey, I want some! There’s a place up here that sells local honey, I need to go there in a few days. The last stuff I bought was wildflower, verrry good.

Thanks for reminding me I’ve got some aged gouda.. I think it would go nicely with this helles I’m drinking.

It’s too bad baseball got so boring for some reason over the last 10 years, cause this Shohei guy seems to be pretty good.

Things aren’t boring at the Nats game tonight.

Doktor Zymm

Shit, just saw that

1
Gumbygirl

It’s never boring in person, but on tv it’s a snoozefest. Golf, on the other hand, is boring, period.

2
ballsofsteelandfury

How people attend golf tournaments, I’ll never understand.

1
yeah right

It’s in the hole!

2
Dunstan

That’s what she.. oh, I guess you were making that joke already.

2
Doktor Zymm

I keep meaning to learn how to play golf. It must be pretty fun since so many people enjoy playing it despite it being so dull to watch. Plus it was invented by the Scottish, and they have an excellent track record on inventing stuff

2
Mr. Ayo

Golf is awesome. There’s no better way to spend 4 hours day drinking outdoors.

2
Dunstan

-10000 walks spoiled

Just sit in a lawn chair on your deck. Drink away, without hitting a ball that won’t go where you want it to. Way less frustrating!

I espect there’s plenty to watch up in Canada, what with today turning out to be the second trade deadline of the year. 2nd overall picks traded! Stanley Cup winners traded! Three-way trades! No-name prospects dealt for astronomically high (high as in low) round draft picks! It’s got everything!
And it’s all in the name of fucking over the new expansion franchise.

Any of y’all ever play Retro Bowl? I’ve been playing it for several months. It’s an 8-bit football game for mobile similar to Tecmo Bowl and it’s a ton of fun. There’s a whole subreddit dedicated to the game.
Here’s the Android link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newstargames.retrobowl
And the iOS link:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/retro-bowl/id1478902583
It’s free to play but you can pay a small amount and get some more features like customization and such.

Is this…..

Is there such a thing as a DFO Comment Forum Influencer?

3
Anthony In TX

Yes!

Except it only pays in well-wishes and racy pictures.

1
Redshirt

It’s the opposite. Instead of influencing, you are the influencee.

1
Dunstan

Joke’s on them. DFOers are already under the influence.

3

I recently had that. It was nice but I grew tired of the controls for throwing and having no control over the defense. I had a four star defense but I still had to get 30+ points to guarantee a win. At least in Tecmo Bowl I had control over the play calls and one player.

King Hippo

Lucky FOAR me, it’s GAMBLOR o’clock for a bit still
