With the dreaded Lesser Footy international break upon us, one is especially thankful for the much improved Week 2 JV NFL slate. Without further a-doo-doo, to the fixtures!
Notre Dame (-7.5) at NC State (Noon, ABC)
People have already started fluffing the Irish, without the very necessary caveat that they haven’t faced anything close to a legitimate opponent yet. Sadly, that will still be the case after today. SIGH.
Utah (-8) at Baylor (Noon, ESPN)
Cornered, wounded animal? That would be Bay-Bay after losing their opener to 27.5-point underdog Texas State (the made-up Necessary Roughness squadoo?). Secular Big Love rolls into town, for a 10a body clock game for BOTH teams. Why the absolute fuck would they schedule this way? If anything, this TV window was already kind of crowded. Mister Mojo might be Rising in time to start this week, though they handled bidness against the Florida Men in his Week 1 absence.
Nebraska (+3) at Colorado (Noon, Fox)
Another week of Urban Meyer holding court on Deion Sanders. Kill me now, please. Poor Hobo Matt Rhule, signing up for the roller coaster of pain that is 21st century Cornfucker FITBAW.
Ole Miss (-7.5) at Tulane (3:30, ESPN2)
70 years ago, this would be an SEC clash! Now, it’s that one “prove it” week for the Green Wave to set themselves up as a backdoor playoff participant, should absolutely everything go wrong in November for the rest of the contenders. EXCITE!
Iowa (-3.5) at Iowa State (3:30, Fox)
Name a worse nickname than “Cy-Hawk Rivalry.” Cornpone and Cornpone State, showing off their punters, no doubt. Unless they got suspended for HAIL GAMBLOR!, too. Watch this as an exercise in self-loathing. You know what you did to deserve it.
El Assico is underway! Commence your naps!
Massive thunderstorm rolling through here.
The dog is cowering under the desk. Won’t even sit next to me and beg for some of this sandwich.
I guess Lowratio is secured in his paddock?
He’s free range. It’s an ASPCA thing.
I’d like to congratulate Coach Prime on beating Nebraska, something that’s only happened, (checks notes), 65 other times in the last ten seasons.
I HAVEN’T SEEN BUFFALO DO THIS MUCH DAMAGE TO NEBRASKA SINCE 1883!
I see Nebraska is still doing great.
THIS GUY [SOME ARGENTINIAN] I CALL HIM JUSTIN TUCKER BECAUSE HE JUST NAILED A 60+ YARD KICK.
THIS GUY I CALL HIM ME IN A DAY DREAM WITH NINA HARTLEY BECAUSE HE JUST NAILED A 60+
TOPICAL!!

Should have kept Chubby Purdy in there for that 4th down.
The Falklands War rugby game is starting momentarily on Peacock, if you have it.

I don’t admire him for it but I’m impressed that Deion Sanders put his ass on the line and went the coaching route instead of being yet another talking head on yet another pre-game show. To succeed at coaching (where he is at this point) requires double-digit hours per day. It would seem that he’s putting in the work.
talks a whole lot, but puts money where his mouth is. Agreed.
And his toe

They are fun to watch, that’s for sure.
You can say what you want about Deion Sanders, but I’ve never thought of him as a man who lacks energy.
Micheal Irvin as well

Canada, acting like a big boy on the international scene, knowing there will be no repercussions for this hollow, insignificant act.
Rhule freezing the kicker like he’s a totally grownup coach and everything. No wonder his wife left him behind on the family vacation.
Just waiting for the draw play on 3rd and long because he wants to win the “Field Placement” game, down 2 scores. What a fucking losering loser.
We need Cider House Rhules, part 2!

BayBay has hotter/sluttier dressing co-eds than you’d expect.
They are costumed sex workers, so the players will leave the actual students alone
Unlike TCU, Nebraska may have actually watched some game tape (gasp) of qb Sanders in preparation of the game.

Having had our kids drop us off and pick us up after a night of drinking is fun as then you can take 20 minutes to get outside and then be loud the whole way home and blame it on the alcohol. Instead of just being an ass
Buffs bailed out by a really questionable call. The Narrative begins…
This Big 8 game lacks Mike Rozier (or even Rashaan Salaam)
Or Johnnie Rodgers. I only remember him because he told the NFL to take a hike and played three years in the CFL.
T-Storms at VaTech-Purdue gonna soak the fans — not unlike the Utes cheerleaders methinks
Rugby has not been terribly competitive just yet. The Romanian team just committed one of the saddest knock-ons I’ve ever seen and is giving up a penalty every five minutes or so, and Australia keeps getting three points each time. It’s basically Marty Schottenheimer’s darkest fantasy come to life.
Ok, Colorado let’s see what’s going on.

Buffs erase 2nd&24 like its nothing
Molly McGrath, bare-shouldered, live in West Raleigh. THIS IS NAE A DRILL
last time I saw Colorado stadium that hyped, the Promise Keepers just started their con.
bk, if you’re still looking for nerd shops, labyrinth on the hill is doing their annual board game auction and then rummage sale this weekend.
And then a friend of mine buys his d&d figures and stuff from Dream Wizards in Rockville.
The hotel’s taking care of that as we speak – dunno where, dunno how, but the guys managed to find me some Zvezdas (including the new SU-76M I didn’t even know was on sale in Russia, let alone over here “behind enemy lines”), Trumpeters and a Tamiya. As soon as those (with the assorted basic paints and glue*) I’m giving those lads some really nice tips. (250 each ought to be a decent thank you)
*I don’t need no tools though, because this is far from the first time I’ve built good kits using only a SAK and a SwissCard 😀
Concierges in high end hotels have connections the CIA can only dream of.
Ciao tutti
Praying for a Meteor strike at the Iowa game.
That game, I callz it the Iowa Cock-Ass.
Morning Folks
Greetings and salutations.
I’m tired.
… then have a rest, or coffee, or a blowie and coffee.
I’m not that flexible and I don’t drink coffee
In all fairness, I was volunteering Hippo’s services to find you someone for the blowie. Also, not .. drink.. COFFEE?! But.. Coffee’s the sign that there truly is a God and one that don’t like moody and sleepy motherfuckers in his office 😀
I have poison ivy on both feet and am considering euthanasia.
start a course of steroids now, if you have any in your meds stash
Even yogurt, baking soda or baby powder can help. If all that fails (and knowing how the US medical system tends to fleece its customers) – use a hollow point and don’t eat the barrel as it’s nowhere near as effective as the movies say.
I have a spray that dries it right up. Had to get it back from my youngest, who had a howling case a few weeks ago.
Based on the smell I’m pretty sure I just doused my feet with acetone, but the itch is gone.
Rex Ryan’s kink is getting out there. How much you get paid for for that cam session?
Youth in Asia? Ok, sex tourist.
That’s absurd. Just amputate both and you’ll be fine.
That’s a sign you should just let those cows gambol in your yard!
Goats. Goats eat the hell out of poison ivy.
OK, back from the concierge and ..uhh, not only was I not the only nutter that’d rather build kits than enjoy the sights of Washington, he was already about to send one of the staff to pick up some 40K figures and supplies for a couple of other guests XD
Wow, where are you staying?
For those desperate, Vandy and Wake is off to a good start.

A tribute to Jackie Nevada, perhaps?
That’s great lighting
Well, Jackie is a term for someone from Dublin.. Down the line is … combo “free spirit”, “ne’er do well” and in … some contexts “serial cocksman” 😉
This is why DFO is the font of all knowledge!
It’s that level of hustle.
Uhh, question to people here that have been to a “Target”… Uhh, is it true that those actually have model kits in stock.. I kinda need a time waster since, uhh…DC isn’t an area I am particularly interested in exploring
They do have an extensive toy section. I suppose it depends on your local Target, but yes, I’ve seen them.
I have never seen one there, you would be better off checking to see if there is a hobby shop near you, some game stores have them as well, under the Warhammer 40k section, maybe do an ork war buggy.
Second this. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL NERDS!
lol, I’m bored enough that nothing’s truly off the table. Well, except Star Wars (in general) and nuTrek. Hell, I’m even bored enough to do an Ukrie-made kit depicting an Ukrie-vehicle 😀
Edit: Nevermind.. It’s same day delivery. Oh well, I guess I’ll just the smart thing and ask the hotel concierge where I can find a decent hobby store in the area. Knowing how swanky the place is, my question may be the least morally reprehensible he gets the whole day.
Models? Of course, sir! What colour and age? This is DC, we can get you anything depending on when Congress is in session.
bk109: We still talking about toys?
Concierge: Of course! You can do anything you want with them!
bk109: …..
lol, as soon as my phone finishes downloading a couple of podcasts I’m gonna pop down to ask. But yeah, I’m somehow expecting the conversation to go along those lines, lol
If you’re truly bored, you can go watch BFC play baseball in whatever rec league he’s in. I think he said he had a game today. Maybe he’ll buy you a beer for attending…
Or whisky!
Not an option, because technically speaking, I’m on call because of my side-gig and despite a higher BAC probably helping me suppress my genocidal thoughts about DC-area drivers… I cannae drink 🙁
These types of interactions tend to be a lot less wink-wink nudge-nudge than they used to be, after an unfortunate misunderstanding during Eli’s final road game against the Redacteds.
Target is wonderful. I only wish mine were closer. If they don’t have it, you don’t need it.
While I’m picking on Masterson’s attorney for saying things he probably shouldn’t during a sentencing hearing after Masterson was convicted of not one but two rapes, spare a thought for Mike Lindell’s attorney(s), who have to put up with a client who acts like this:
https://twitter.com/joncoopertweets/status/1700494114628805097
For the record the other attorney is being an asshole with that question, but you as a party to a lawsuit have to know that and not rise to the occasion. You can call him an asshole after you win your case because you do not act like this.
Wait, so calling the opposing attorney an asshole in the middle of a deposition is NOT a good idea??
Well I’ll be…
Honestly, after that question you could probably get away with an exasperated sigh and saying “don’t be an asshole” but then you need to stop.
off all the Trumpworld weirdos, he just might be the weirdest
He is a bizarre, bizarre man.
I would bet real money (ok, maybe Canadian money) that he has a Nazi uniform he wears at home, to go with the Hitler hair.
Say what you will about King Leopold, but Belgian soccer wouldn’t be the same without him.

And where were you last night for the St. Kilda-Giants final, young man?
Didn’t have to work at the resto, went for a bike ride with wee man, then had some wine, a shawarma, couple J’s and was blissfully asleep by 10 pm.
Balls needs to find proper cheer squad picks for these Potatoe Bowlers.
Grand Forks and Flagstaff are great towns with hipster coeds. Flagstaff especially.
Shoulders for tee Hippo!
Who ya got??
NAU seems sweet, UND like they PARTY
One on the left is from Deloraine, Manitoba and knows her way around a thresher, one in the middle is from Bismarck and is big into keg stands in that outfit, one on the right is from a farm town with 17 people and a post office. She has a grow op in a shed on the ranch.
When I’m done elected Evil Overlord, anyone who plays their phone volume loudly will lose their eardrum privileges.
My parents and inlaws still use the noises from their phones. It is a wild notification adventure when visiting. Remember all those years ago when people paid for ringtones???
I remember trying to find/pay for one (Weezer’s “Hash Pipe”) but I gave up after like 15 seconds of “effort”
I had Toxic from Britney Spears. Don’t judge me.
too late!
There’s also a bunch of Rugby World Cup games first thing this morning. And the women’s tennis final. So many sports!
This should be a murder.
Tiny Toons is being rebooted? Can’t I have one moment of my childhood not be violated?!
My FF team (Grimace Touched My Butthole) says nae.
So on the topic of blown compressors, my stool was bloody last night. That is what happens when you sit on someone’s face at your local needleplay meetup, though.
(someone PLEASE banner this perfection)
Done
More like pervfection, wait that sounds more like the process by which you get STDs.
In this case, perfection is a portmanteau word for perforation+ infection.
Also, uh.. Anyone know who from the 70s show got 30 to life and … for what?
Not my beloved Kurtwood Smith and that’s all that matters
Definitely not. I was just in the hotel gym and I overheard a couple of lawyers talking about “that 70s show creep getting 30 to life” and them discussing how incompetent his defence team must’ve been as it was basically based on hearsay. Given that the last time I got curious why someone (the actress that played Chloe on Smallville) from a show I used to watch, I learned way more about weird sex cults than I needed to know, I decided to be more cautious and just ask the DFOers for a quick (and hopefully PG-13) summary.
Apparently he wrote a letter in support as did Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher.
not particularly persuasive letters, it would seem
Maybe Ashton wrote his in character as Kelso. And Mila did her best Lea Michele impression.
If that doesn’t describe Hollywood Elitism, I don’t know what does.
“I know he destroyed two lives, subjecting them to a fate worse than death, but we’re famous. Can you help us out?”
HE IS A SCIENTOLOGIST!!! DOESN”T THAT MEAN ANYTHING ANYMORE???
It means he’s extremely gullible?
Apparently someone from the church of Rich Hollywood Dipshits actually testified against the guy, so I’m wondering if he wasn’t trying to leave the big Happyology family…
I think you are hiding Shelley Miscavige with Lowratio and the cows.
Thank you. Just changed my FF team name
I am into some sick shit but please don’t ever expand that to include Scientology. I have standards, sir.
My new FF team name is Lowratio’s Cow Fetish
I thought you would go for “Shelly Miscavige sleeps with the Cows”
Danny Masterson got two 15-years sentences for raping two women. Apparently they’re to run consecutively. I don’t know where “to life” came from, probably because I changed the channel.
Well, going by the AP article.
I’ve been trying to find where they get the life part, out of morbid curiosity. I see the two 15 year sentences, but I don’t see anything about “to life” being added by the Court. Has to be some facet of California law that isn’t being reported.
Also curious about the decision to let the sentences run consecutively rather than concurrently. He’s got some things to talk about on appeal, anyway.
And I’m really curious about hiring an attorney who, during your sentencing hearing for not one but two rapes, tells the judge you’ve lived an “exemplary” life. You know, except for all the rape. Not the time, counselor; not the time.
2.5+ decades in the pokey (PHRASING) will give him time to reflect on why rape ain’t kewl guys
Kobe Bryant is very lucky he did his rapin’ before fame stopped working as one of these cards:
though TO BE FARE, I am content with the sentence God handed out to Kobe
I’m not a fan of the whole practice of running the sentences concurrently (until someone presents a good argument for it, because it’s not like I’ve thought about it all that deeply). It seems to me that it means if you commit one crime, you might as well go ahead and commit the same crime agan and again, because the punishment will be the same either way. It’s like a BOGOF for crime.
Our AC handler went out Thursday pm. We’re having it fixed on Sunday so wife got us a airbnb to surivive the weekend (the house is still habitable by FEMA standards at night and the public library is a cooling station where we can camp out all day but I guess she don’t like to save money/have adventure).
I am really pushing hard for, “let’s just lay around this place and use their tvs and watch the dogs for a couple days.” but it feels like I’m getting no traction; like I’m one of those dudes hanging on the plane leaving Afghanistan.
Ouch. I always assumed US residential-style AC setups had multiple compressor units, so even if something died, it didn’t fully take out the central air (because who in their right mind would make a system with a single point of failure industry standard). I was going to make an observation about cracking jokes about the tragedy unfolding at Karzai, but in all fairness, I’ve made worse jokes (and observations) about Ukrainians today, so .. Uhh, I guess this entire sentence was as redundant as the US’s overall stay in Asscrackistan 😀
What third world country are you from?
Why are you asking about which third world shitehole I clawed my way out of ?
Well it’s a wheel/belt thing. Pretty much a maintenance issue.
Thinking of doing the solo units in the rona with the remodel. Might be wise in the summer but, seriously, I’m a man. If i wanted to live like i was in a 900sf apt, I would move in to a 900sf apt.
Good to hear it’s something relatively simple, since I’ve had a run of blown compressors the past couple of years (one because the installers used the wrong oil for the freon in the system, the other thanks to a power spike).
I’m like that too. We’ll visit a place and the Dr. Mrs. will want to spend *zero* time at our hotel; she’d rather wander around god-forsaken places like the city’s local sewage treatment plant than loaf around in a room that we’re paying $250 a night for.
Just toss a Roomba into the hotel room. She’ll be transfixed for hours.
If our AC ever breaks, I’m heading for higher ground (Big Bear) until it’s fixed.
Hello! It’s 3 AM on the Pacific coast!
I missed the whole AFL live blog because because I was asleep, but it looked fun. I’m still adjusting back to L.A. time so I’m all over the place this week.
In football related matters, here’s a great scene from The Godfather:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCylDFbZLOI
I, for one, thought the AFL live blog was compelling and rich.
