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.

So, not sure how, but I’m still in the LDB challenge. I’ve been out shopping a buncha times and have seen a buncha crappy Hallmark movies and still haven’t heard it. I expect to hear it shortly, so enjoying being in the challenge. Let us know how you are doing either below or in the original post ( there’s a link in the side bar)

This weeks cheesy motivational quote is:
You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams [in bed]
Dr Seuss

Are there different kinds of dreams depending on where you sleep? I very rarely remember any dreams once up, so are, like, couch dreams different than bed dreams vs recliner dreams? If there is a difference, what place gives the bestest dreams?

I should apply for a grant to study this. Checks gmail and sees that I’ve already been sent multiple grant proposals. So between Google knowing everything about me and my 5G vaccine, i’m obviously behind schedule and should fill out the applications already.

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 need a Little Drummer Boy Challenge Judges Ruling. While changing stations on the radio, I heard a split second of bit, barely enough for a note. Is that enough to lose?

I think I am out, but I figure I call up a jury of my peers for a verdict.

If you recognized it, you’se OUT. Sorry, Magical Pony
King Hippo

I thought so. I know it was the song because my console said the song, and since I heard it before, I could sort of recognize it. If I never heard it before, it would’ve been musical gibberish.

Oh well. Player down.

Well now hang on. If you only know it because the name flashed on your console I don’t think that’s the same as “hearing” the song. I’m inclined to allow you to remain, but will defer to the others.
Horatio Cornblower

Hmmm, if your brain didn’t register by SOUND then I also think is ok.
King Hippo

I saw the song title first and then heard the sound as it was switching to the next station.

Yeah, it’s a gray area. Like did I recognize it or did seeing the title help me recognize it? Almost like a Reverse Rick Roll.

Like if I describe a movie opening as flying in the clouds, that could be anything. But if I say “Back to the Future Part II”, suddenly it clear.

I say you’re still in, as for one note it could be anything.

Hippo, I can’t believe you missed the handoff of the Green Bay Packers from Aaron to Jordan Love.

I’m pretty sure the Packers faithful were looking at Love’s passes thinking, “Wait, a QB can actually throw the ball LIKE THAT? PASS ME THE CHEESE CURDS, MABEL!”

I hope he does his own research on his ribs/potential lung injury and decides he’s fine to go scuba diving.

My Amazon FireTV Stick is preventing my TV from turning on. Whenever I turn it on, it turns it off.

Does it know something about tonight’s game that I don’t?

I had forgotten how Troy and Joe make a terrible game so very much worse.
King Hippo

Every-and I mean every-large company that I deal with has been absolutely ruthless with respect to letting go of the expensive ‘talent’. I’m absolutely convinced this will happen at some point.

Within our lifetime I’m sure we’ll have to choose between a 8-10 dudes as far as announcer choices go and they will be paid pennies on the dollar compared to what Aikman pulls in and they’ll get a commission based on views. It makes too much sense.
scotchnaut

I’d pay for a “Dennis Reynolds and Charlie Kelly” broadcast, for sure
King Hippo

“Up in the booth, let’s pass it to Buddy Cole and Spam. Guys?”
“(sigh) Spam, I haven’t been this bored since my vibrator ran out of juice.”
“You’re exactly right, Buddy. I sure wish priests had access to vibrators back when I was an altar boy.”

Ok, I don’t get offside at all.
Gumbygirl

When you want a goal, it’s offside. When you don’t want a goal, it’s onside.

Easy peasy.

Good: The US/Netherlands match (match? game? meetup?) is Saturday when most of us ain’t working.

Bad: Game time is 7:00 AM Pacific, which is my own personal time zone.

Setting an alarm for Saturday morning seems sacrilegious.

You have to give the Patriots credit. Most teams just dress up like the past teams. But the Patriots are actually playing the late 80s-early 90s Patriots. That’s dedication!

I saw the Red Band trailer for cocaine bear earlier and I am so looking forward to seeing this no matter how divorced from reality it is, I mean the bear just eats a wrapped kilo of coke instead of finding a soup spoon with which to snort it?

Little known fact, Leo demanded that the first bear they brought in be replaced with a younger bear, the original bear being older than 26 in bear years.

I haven’t been on today, but…

Grandpa Weaselo passed away early this morning, in his sleep. Padre, Hermana Weaselo, and I were there at his side.

I’m sure I’ll say more Wednesday night in my usual column, as I try and figure out all the words.

I forgot to mention, Madre Weaselo and I got linner from, fittingly, one of Grandpa’s favorite local restaurants, the Australian restaurant from the shopping center down the block.

Not to point out the obvious but Ashlii Babbitt pathetically died from one shot. It took 2+ to eliminate USMNT and also their players don’t have brain damage.

Now that the games are done, here is my list of top 4 teams

1. Georgia – probably going to curbstomp everyone’s hopes this year.
2. Michigan – well deserved and something I didn’t expect
3. Alabama – not because I want them to, but because we know they will
4. Carolina Panthers – even in the college rankings, they still aren’t good enough to be number 1

You know, the Geico gekko is kind of a dick. Bringing your new neighbors a plate of cookies isn’t all that nice when you use it as an opportunity to pitch them insurance.
