Subsequent GTD reflections

Hello there fellow DFO’er.  Hope you’re well today.  And thanks for coming back to see last weeks tl;dr of last 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.

Happy new year everyone. Question, when is it too late in the year to be saying that? Feels like it’s already too late, but with most peeps being back to work yesterday, I’ve been saying it. I obviously need a hobby or two, to take my mind of these dumb questions.

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

I vow to be a kind and just lowratio league champion… Just kidding, suck it all of the haters that didn’t believe in me I am your god now and, and,… eh, I don’t even care enough to keep up that bit. But it was fun and I got lucky so thanks everyone, I figuratively smack all the asses

Told the MrsTPS I was gonna show her what The Dirty Bird was at halftime if the Falcons were winning.

Best 3 minutes of her life.

Having covered the Falcons for [DFO] since 2018, I can safely say they will build the team around Bijan Robinson in 2026 and he will reward that by getting put on IR during the one preseason game he plays.

/feeling super humbled right now

Oldest kid invited a friend from high school unannounced. After the usual greetings he asked to take a tour of my ‘man cave’ but took the opportunity to tell me how important our many brief interactions were to him at the time. He had a shitty dad (everyone knew it at the time) and saw me as a father figure that didn’t ask ridiculous things of him, didn’t steal money from him, etc. I didn’t offer a lot but it was enough for him. I had no idea.

/maybe, just maybe, I’m doing some good in the world, even though I’m stumbling backwards into it

Hooray! The Dr. Mrs.’ cousin (who hosted our post-wedding celebration at her glorious mansion in Pasadena and has treated us to such delights as Clayton Kershaw’s No Hitter and the Hollywood Bowl seats shown below) finally got the successful kidney transplant that she so desperately needed! We’ve asked the family not to think too much about the fact that they hosted us for a visit just two days ago and that almost immediately thereafter a viable kidney became available almost like someone was trying to show their gratitude for all she has done for us.

Wow, Scotchnaut works on commission now?

He’s getting a really nice holiday bonus for this one.

Forgot to tell the commentariat that we opened a West Coast office and business has never been better!

Good news on the freezer front, pulled a bunch of stuff out and it seems like something must have gotten jostled or slid around or something because it seems to be working now. I won’t miss those cauliflower broccoli fries that I bought a couple years ago and never even thought about opening, lol.

cauliflower broccoli fries that I bought a few years ago


Understandable. Right on the bag under “Directions”, it says, ‘shove to the back of freezer until a wellness check has been performed’.

We’ve been doing this shit for over 10 years now.

We’re bonafied!

I love you fucking people.
yeah right

Ladies and reprobates,
Love to all of you, and let’s hope this next trip around is a helluva lot better. If no one else says it, I think you’re fucking excellent. See you soon.

I’m about to go welcome 2026 and throw 2025 out the door Uncle Phil-style, but before I do, I just want to say…

This is the last year that my father and I exist at the same time. When the clock strikes 12, I will move on to 2026, but my father will remain in 2025. I know he is in a better place, and God willing, we will be reunited but I miss him every day.

But he does look down on me. Every football game, I feel him watching it with me, questioning every bad call, asking to rewind and dissect every play until we are 10 minutes behind. Even in death, he is still with me.

Thank you all for your kind words throughout this year. Hug your family and loved ones.

I’ll see you about 10 minutes…or next year, whichever comes first.

Worst New Year’s Eve ever?

Strap in.

“We’re going to this awesome party in Annapolis (which meant hot rich girls).”

“Okay.”

“It’s in a really great house.”

“Okay.”

Arrive, house is a shit hole. Walk in, 25-1 dudes to girls ratio.

Tell my friend he’s a fucking idiot.

Drink my face off, after midnight go outside to take a leak off the porch. Mighty stream of urine hits the slat in front of me, bounces off, completely soaking the front of my jeans.

Sat outside in freezing temperatures, smoking a cigar, waiting for jeans to dry. They didn’t.

Go inside, my friend is making out with passably cute girl.

I pass out. Friend wakes me up at 6 in the morning. “I’ve gotta get out of here, that girl’s boyfriend showed up at like 3 in the morning.”

On the drive home we both puke at different times.

Fuck New Year’s Eve.

Drove a couple hours to the hometown this morning and put a dollar bill on Pops LaCross’ gravesite. I’ll still honor our stupid Bears v. Niners standing bet until I’m in the dirt.

Philip Rivers confirms what everyone already knew in an announcement following the Colts’ choice to start Riley Leonard over him – A to Z Sports https://atozsports.com/nfl/indianapolis-colts-news/colts-philip-rivers-retire-nfl-interview-2025-kay-adams/

It’s an indictment of NFL QBs that he could step in after 5 years away and be better than 85% of the league.

This is the whitest fucking name I’ve ever seen.

Roman General: “Who missed that field goal?”


Skylar: “It was I!”


Digsby: “It was I!”


Farnsworth: “It was I!”


Lamont: “It was I!”

Based on Social Media, you’d think this was the Rose Bowl right now.

I think that, for 2026, the Clubhouse should acquire nuclear weapons. It’s the only sane thing one can do.

Surely, Brick knows a guy who can get us a cost and timing estimate?

I’m down the road from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. If they have some, I could plan a raid.
…or Trump is an idiot. I could join Truth Social, call him a genius, say Pete Hegseth told me at a bar that he’s knows more than Trump, and in a few days, I’m the Acting Secretary of Defense!

I mean, you’re a White guy – just carry a clipboard and look busy. Nobody will give you any shit.

You just literally described how I act at every job I’ve ever worked.

Nothing says new year like round 2 of chemo! She’s ready to get it over with. But it’s Friday so the cafeteria does have a fairly decent fish fry (because Wisconsin, of course it does).

We’re into the last three weeks of Xmas over here. I had a light lunch of seasonal goodies with Madre and The Heiress

On the other hand, I just wrote a check for heating oil and put ‘2026’ for the year on the first try!

This is gonna be my year!!

Back from evening Mass, prayed for all of you heathens, so you’re covered for the week.

Also, just poured me a flagon of bourbon.

Greetings, gentlemen and others! After a delightful afternoon watching the King’s Finest dismantle the hapless Cherries, I have decided to settle down next to the moving picture box this evening to watch squadrons from two of the Empire’s most prized colonies engage in a skirmish for the right to compete for a Superb Owl. My manservant tells me that the phrase “6-7” has entered the lexicon of many back-injury-riddled individuals all over the world in this year of our Lord. This contest has me thinking, if “6-7” can have its day, why shouldn’t “8-9” be considered cromulent enough to compete for an Owl? I an anxious to hear your thoughts on this matter, my dear colleagues!

I’m rooting for the Niners in honor of my buddy Chris, who had a stroke and died way too young. One of the funniest fuckers I ever met.

“ChatGPT, I want to feel stronger; help me with a pull-up program”

ChatGPT: “I’m an AI program. Get up from the computer and go to the gym, you fucking dolt.”
Horatio Cornblower

Nope, don’t believe it.


ChatGPT: “That’s a great idea! Pullups are a great way to build strength and you’re brilliant to think a pull-up program would help you feel stronger! According to respected Redditer Lickmyballs, you can buy Pullups for toddlers at CVS for $17.99 a package, should I order some for you?

I gotta be honest, finishing the season with a 60-yard field goal to beat the Chiefs and the #1 draft pick feels pretty good. It’s almost enough to get me up off the couch so I can leisurely stroll fully clothed through the clubhouse quietly murmuring “Mendoza!” to myself.

lol the jets set the record for fewest ints (0)

BUT

they did NOT set the record for fewest int return yards, which is still -2, yep NEGATIVE TWO YARDS, set by…guess who…2024 browns!
