Subsequent GTD reflections

Hello there fellow DFO’er.  Hope you’re well today.  And thanks for coming back to see last weeks comments of the week as decided by my brain.  There’s no reason as to why some comments make it and others don’t. Seriously. There isn’t.


This weeks cheesy motivational quote is:

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world [in bed]
Buddha

As I’m tired today, I think Buddha is telling me to take a nap


As a reminder, Sunday comments stand alone and Monday comments will go on the next week’s post.

Note that during the offseason, I’ll probably look at the Sunday posts.

Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.


I feel bad for Vengeful Baker the turnover maker as I always admire a guy playing from a place of hate.

Amusingly enough, 15 minutes after Doc filled us in on the Sean Payton rumours, that shit went viral all over social media.

Good work!

“You’re telling me there’s a baker, he specializes in turnovers AND HE’S AN NFL QUARTERBACK!??! And I’m only learning OF THIS NOW? WHY DO I EVEN PAY YOU TO SCOUT FOR ME?”

Just tried to read Peter King’s Monday morning offering for purposes of comparison. Holy shit! I couldn’t even finish the goddamn thing. Just endless blather and humblebrag access stories. Good christ does that guy need an editor. And obviously I am truly biased, but can honestly say, if I hadn’t watched the games (and knew all the appropriate nicknames) I’d have come away from Hippo Thoughts with a MUCH clearer understanding of what happened yesterday. King should receive a copy of IHT in his inbox every Monday morning, read it, and feel ashamed.

Can you imagine the way Kliff Kingsbury is circled on every coach’s calendar? These guys who have all paid their dues — are STILL paying their dues — moving around the country and taking these gig assistant coach or coordinator roles; sleeping on the couches in their offices; losing relationships because all their energy is going into making some braindead mammoth of a young man understand to go left only when he sees an opening (the young man will never understand). Bunch of pseudo-depressed alpha males who no doubt feel like their efforts are the only way to earn their opportunities. Then they see the next week they are going to face off against Kliff Kingsbury? A soft spoiled conman who has never had the chops to make it but now just got a huge extension?

The NFL is going to absolutely embarrass the entire Cardinals organization for the next 4 months with every team they face looking to show that they have all of the better GM, HC, and QB1.

You saw it here first — The Arizona Cardinals will be the NFL’s first 0-17 team.

I just read an article about quiet quitting and it’s basically what I’ve been doing for the past 1.5 years. I think this makes me a white collar hipster, since I was doing it before it was cool
Doktor Zymm

I think my last place quiet fired me for the past five years there. The problem so many people quit, they couldn’t let me go. Also, they put my office away from others and blocked it with file cabinets. I was basically Milton from Office Space without the stapler and before he went to the basement.

However, what they didn’t realize is, with me away from everyone, no one bothered me, I was able to play music on my phone, and if I needed a break, I could surf the internet on my phone and participate in DFO Mock Drafts and have time to lock my phone and go back to my computer when I heard the door open. They did it as a banishment; I turned it into Work Shangri-la.

This week in FedEx: The Shittening
I apparently owe FedEx over $100 for their mishandling of customs, and they can only inform me of this via snail mail, and I can only pay them with a paper check. They sent everything through USPS, I assume because it is far more reliable than their own services.

FedEx has also lost a package immediately after receiving it from the shipper. (Towels from NJ, I am apparently into soft home goods) I am getting to be a regular with FedEx customer service agents on Messenger, and they do a good job, by far the best part of the company. The agent took a look and said “yeah, you should just go ahead and tell the shipper to file a claim”

Dad: so are you still doing that dumb thing where you imagine God and all the players going to extreme lengths to screw over your fantasy team?

Me: I’m starting mahomes and two chiefs receivers while my opponent is starting Edward’s hel aire.

I imagine the chiefs kick returner taking the kickoff at the 20, then running back to his own one yard line to down it. Edward’s helaire comes in at the qb position in shotgun, takes the hike, throws a soft lob pass to a d-lineman who intentionally bats it back to him. None of the defenders try to tackle him as he take the ball 99 yards for the score, they all flash him a thumbs up as he gets points for the pass completion, the passing yards, the catch, the receiving yards, and the touchdown. They also let him do a two point conversion. When the chargers get the ball back they are allowed to take the ball all the way to the one yard line where they intentionally fumble allowing the chiefs to repeat the process as before.

By half time Edwards hellaire has set a nfl record for pass completions, passing yards, passing touchdowns, receptions, receiving yards, receiving yards and two point conversions in a single game. The camera pans over to the chiefs sideline where brocky’s receivers are in street clothes, then patrick mahomes comes in at the side of the frame wearing a towel on his head, flips the bird directly into the camera all while yelling “FUCK YOU BROCKY YOU LITTLE BITCH!”

Men! Oh men!

Rather than watch the Fightin’ Horatios “play” “football” agains the Wolverines of Michigan today I went to the Mystic Garlic Festival, there to eat far too many garlic fritters, garlic sliders, garlic, and garlic fries.

While there we also went into a store specializing in honey and olive oil. I bought some Key Lime flavored honey. Tonight I mixed it into a margarita in lieu of lime juice.

Goddamn! I said GODDAMN!!!

Daffodils score five runs in the bottom of the eight to erase a 5-1 lead and beat the Diamondbacks. I’d forgotten how rewarding frontrunning can be!

Seriously. Let’s start a GoFundMe for the guy who threw a bottle at Jimmy Haslam.

Then we can use the funds for like, pre-whatever legal work and funnel it all to PR.

Also, I yelled at Haslem from the Black Hole when I saw the Browns play at OAK. The worst part was no one around me knew who he was.

Senor Weaselo

Give that man the $10,000!

You saw it here first — The Arizona Cardinals will be the NFL’s first 0-17 team.

That’s my Raiders, taking all of two weeks to prove blaxabbath wrong.

Long season.

For the record, I didn’t say the ’22 Cardinals would be the first 0-17 team. But this franchise will be the ones to plant that flag.

THIS BRETT FAVRE I CALL HIM ASHLII BABBIT —

Oh wait, no I don’t. Brett was a real gunslinger with a tiny dick while Ashlii Babbit was a fraud with a tiny dick.

Also, Brett is smart enough to keep himself alive and not arbitrarily abandon his family for no good reason.

Plus, Brett took a few shots to the neck and played through it. Ashlii couldn’t even handle one.

Also Brett was smart enough to rip poor people off while still alive, (albeit dumb enough to take notes on a criminal fuckin’ conspiracy), while Ashley (no with two i’s), was so dumb she had to leave the grifting to her survivors.
