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:
And yet to every bad there’s a worse [in bed].
Thomas Hardy
You don’t need to tell me about the monsters that scare the monsters under the bed. – Eli.
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.
Today, Death travels the Potomac by Riverboat.

Coach, you had a negative point differential, three different starting quarterbacks, fired an offensive “coordinator” mid-season, lost to three teams who finished well below .500, but still finished with double-digits wins, a 5-1 record against the AFC North, and made the playoffs. Can you describe how your Voodoo is capable of all that?

So far Penix has displayed poor arm strength, poor accuracy, poor decision-making, and an inability to deal with pressure.
Which means that right now the Bears front office is trying to figure out how they can somehow trade up from #1 to make sure they get him.

Actual conversation between me and my friend:
Friend: so wait, is this the same woodson on nfl network?
Me: no that’s rod woodson. He went to purdue and played for the Steelers. The guy they’re showing is charles woodson. He went to Michigan. They’re both in the hall of fame, and both played for the Raiders.

I consider you friends, so I will share one exchange from tonight’s counseling session.
“I know you want to say ‘Fuck you I’m fucking out of here’ to your family.”
“Yeah, I really do.”
“Don’t do it.”
“Really?”
“Yes, take my word for it.”

It doesn’t matter because, I’m proud to say, I only get talking shows updates here where they’ve already been filtered and the joke exposed — BUT — I think someone needs to go hard at these dipshits who think their role in the world is to be a loophole and homogenizor for lunatic pricks to speak libel.
Oh the FoxNews “it’s just my opinion but also this is the only true true truth” bullshit was fine because politics is already dirty/messy and both sides and everyone knows every POS on cable news is not to ever be believed. Now we’ve got it in stupid sports that plays teams once a week and will go into literally any space now and our “heroes” are driving towards infowars and we’re gonna say, “Well MacAfee just hosts the show!”
This whole fucking mindset that everyone gets to somehow insulate themselves from any action by blocking, lying, and acting fucking ignorant the point is fucked. And, of course, it’s the “I only speak english and everyone shoukl too!” fuckwits who are the ones who never ‘understand’ the most basic agreement in principle.

My first job out of college was here, and I started there as a C developer in 1987. I’m still in touch with people that I worked with 35+ years ago. We lost to AOL because it was treated as a cash cow when every dollar and then some should have been put back in the company. I just found out today that they put up a historical marker there.
Marker text: “The world headquarters of CompuServe was located on the six-acre site at 5000 Arlington Centre Boulevard from 1973 to 2009. Incorporated in 1969, Compu-Serve Corporation (later CompuServe Inc.) was the first major online information services provider. Its subscribers were the first to have access to email, online newspapers and magazines, the ability to share and download files, and a variety of popular chat forums. One especially successful CompuServe innovation was the GIF graphics format. Increasing competition and a succession of corporate owners pressed CompuServe into the fate of many tech start-ups and it ran its course. It did, however, introduce millions of people to online connectivity, social networking, and laid the foundation for the widespread use of the internet.”
The founder, Jeff Wilkins, is on the left, and that POS Lt. Gov. John Husted is on the right.

Mouse update:
I caught the mouse in the kitchen. Had the little bastard in my hands, but he squirmed out because I a) did not want to get bit, (it was a moment of opportunity and I did not have gloves), and b) I really didn’t want to crush a mouse with my bare hands. That’s just psycho shit.
Later on the cat finally got off his lazy ass and cornered the mouse by the fireplace. He sat there crouched, staring intently. The mouse ran around some books, scooted onto the firewood, and eventually got nose-to-nose with the cat before jumping down between the cat’s paws and then scooting off somewhere. Cat never even tried to catch him.
The mouse disappeared and the cat, having completely failed and in fact not even tried to do his job, went over to an old pile of catnip crumbs and got high.
Cats! They’re just like us!

Greetings from the comfortable climes of my hilltop manor in Southern Rhodesia! This stretch of frigid winter weather that most of you are experiencing in the New World is regrettable, but that’s what you get for deciding that being part of the British Empire was not good enough for you! Always remember – God is on the Empire’s side, and He can cancel winter (and climate change) if he so chooses to!

2D chess is hard enough.
If anyone is wagering on FA cup matches today, Bristol City might be worth a look at home v West Ham. Hammers are without Kudus and Agüerd because of the African Cup and Bowen and Paqueta might both be rested due to injury. Antonio reinjured his knee also, so West Ham might not have much in the way of an attack today. Moyes might try to get out of there with a 1-0 win if they can manage a goal. This is as good a chance as Bristol City is going to get to knock this team off, and they just played them to a 1-1 draw in London a week ago. Food for thought, anyway. HAIL GAMBLOR!
Kudus is out? What about Kang?
No, he’s twirling.

Towards freedom I assume.
I had a free $3 bet and used it on that.
Alvarez out too. Their front four are: Emerson, Benrahma, Ings, and Maxi Cornet. I don’t think they’ve EVER played together in the same lineup. Good luck, man!
There you go!
Hey! Winner winner chicken…tenders anyway!🤓
Fronkadamus over here
There’s so many starters missing. And the ones who are playing are passing the ball to ghosts. And he picked Fabianski over Areola in goal. Sometimes that’s the dead giveaway that Moyes is preemptively waving the white flag. With the club’s budget, he’s forced to be very pragmatic about focusing his resources on attainable goals. I guess that’s how they won a European trophy last year while spending much of the PL season in the relegation battle. He has two young talents he could bring on to add instant spark to this game; Ben Johnson for Aaron Cresswell at wingback, and Devin Mubama for Danny Ings. Let’s see if he’s interested in winning. I think he’s happy to focus on just the PL and Europa League the rest of the year, and lets Bristol City have this one.

Yes, this is how to Teams.
Do they have recommended gif responses? Just using the first recommendation to reply will save time and probably guarantees success otherwise it wouldn’t be recommended, right?
they have a few canned, but are usually useless
They do have quick text answers that are good tho
We should talk to yeah right with any suggestions to Teams and have him put in a good word for us with his daughter that works on it ( or did)
That is wonderful.
Dallas Cowboys may choke twice this playoffs season!
Great hustle everyone. Now let’s go get a goddamn snack!
The fact that there are even rumors about Tomlin ‘parting ways’ with the Steelers is already nuts. If that happens, and Bluebunny and Siriana also go, that’ll be 3 playoff teams changing coaches. Insane.
I honestly think the rumours are just
About 50% of the folks at the Steelers website that I visit want Bill Cowher back. About 25% think that Tomlin is just a Rooney Rule hire, and that if the Steelers had hired a real coach the Steelers would have 15 Super Bowl rings by now.
Good comment. Funny.
