I don’t want to talk about the Footy today, so let’s talk FITBAW instead.
As we’ve all very quickly learned in 2025/The Darkest Timeline…there is good chaos, and there is bad chaos. GOOD chaos is a Draft year when all of the quartered backs blow monkeys (and everyone knows it in advance). Some will squint, sigh, and stick their peckers in anyway. Some will overpay a bad veteran, and think they are being SMRT. Maybe some find a way to go all-in on Big Tank, in a way that somehow dodges the Ginger Hammer’s watchful eye.
Tennessee Titans (1st overall pick)
I don’t want DonT angry with me, but I think these are gonna squint and stick it in. Miami’s Cam Ward will be the object of their affections. He will…not be good, but maybe adequate-ish.
#ThePauls (2nd overall pick)
The Vertically Enhanced Persons will try trading up, but Wile E. Coyote #ThePauls management is thinking three steps ahead. They can pledge to draft BOTH Sanderses, and hire their pops to run the team starting in 2026. Yes, I really expect this to be what they do. Do remember how drug-addled my brains are.
SCRAMBLE DRILL ENSUES
Vertically Enhanced Persons
With Brian Daboll and a roster of unquestionable shit, these are best positioned to Tank Hardest. And they try, even drafting Quinn Ewers in the 3rd to pre-become Arch’s backup. I originally talked myself into Touch of Downs here, but then talked myself out of it.
Noo Yawk FITBAW Jest
They can’t be Darnold’s Plan B pill, because…ya know. REASONS. Woody runs into Captain Dingleberry at a post-Kristallnacht celebration, and BOOM, he’s the starter. Aaron Glenn questions some of his poor life choices.
N’Awlins Saints
An increasingly desperate shitshow operation offers Minny their 3rd round pick to “tag and trade” Touch of Downs their way. Contract extension discussions fail, hilarity ensues. Do these lot even have a coach yet??
That’s Rikki’s Raiders!!
How many life lessons have Coach Petey and Charmslinger learned since they let their lovers’ tiff spiral out of hand?  We’uns about to find out, cause the band is getting back together.
Minnesota Vikings
Quietly re-sign Dimebag to a 5-year, $60M deal to hold clipboards ad infinitum. Balance is briefly restored to the universe.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Calmly watching the chaos all around, Coach Epps re-signs Strawberry Fields to a reasonable extension, and drafts Bama’s Milroe in the 2nd round.  Nobody likes redundant systems any better than Tomlin, who goes 12-5 with these “weapons.” Don’t ask me about January, you know what happens in January.
Santa Clara Tomsulas
Baby Shanny drafts Jaxson Dart (Johnny Reb) with a supplemental 4th, instantly breaks off extension talks with Purdy Mouth.  Because he CAN, you see.
Arizona Qards
Mike Bidwill asks new security guy what his workout regimen is, invites him to his “private gym” for a “bro session.” Meanwhile, Wee Kyler learns about Footy Manager, and is never seen in public again.
Holy shit, this is weird! This is my first time going to DFO in a computer in a LONG time and it feels super weird. I’m used to doing this on the phone…
Most random thing your pet is afraid of?
I’ll go first. Molly hates…ice cube trays. If you want to shoo her away from the kitchen, just reach in the freezer.
Thumping sounds that she interprets as someone knocking on the door. Which is kind of weird because we’ve never had that kind of door; it must have been something she was exposed to with her original owners.
Some horses are afraid of their own farts. It’s the cutest most hilarious thing
Men can relate.
I slept in until almost 10 and haven’t gotten out of bed except to grab a red bull. This is the upside to riding being canceled. Still don’t know about tomorrow though
RELEASE THE KRAKEN!
doktor zymm embraces cancel culture smh
THAT’S GOOD LAZYNESS HUSTLE!
Folks! Drunk by 10am achievement unlocked!
Now, the next goal is much loftier. Stay awake and alert and drunk for the entire 12 hours of Bathurst! Coverages starts at 10:30 (13:30 DFO time), race starts at 11:00 (14:00 DFO time).

Tune in now! It’s 5:30 there (Aussieland), this is a pre-dawn grid and pre-dawn start. All for the buildup of a sunrise while the race is underway!
Amateur hour. The real real test is being drunk for 24 Hours of Le Mans or the Nurburgring!
HOW DARE YOU!
I made it through the 24 hours of Daytona just two weeks ago!
Or a performance of Wagner’s entire Ring Cycle
I was watching this a couple of days ago; Portuguese racing spectators are NUTS.

All rally drivers and spectators are nuts. Best racers in the world.
Tomorrow will be the 11th anniversary of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s death. I’m amazed that it’s been more than ten years, it feels more like five or six.
…
Which is why it’s almost the 11th anniversary of my great aunt nearly murdering me at my grandfather’s wake!
The deacon at the wake looked like him. Padre Weaselo pointed this out, repeatedly, during the service, and I was the person in hysterical laughter from how dark the humor was.
I got the DIRTIEST look. Then they realized he was next to me and they knew it was probably something he did.
Probably the best three name actor since Jonathan Taylor-Thomas.
Today seemed to be a gol fest. Hearts put 6 past Dundee FC in Dundee. Wild.
Oof. Clearly the Hearts stayed focused and didn’t let themselves get sucked into a game of knifey-spooney.
Good thing they stopped before 26, I have no idea what happens if you shoot the moon in footy.
Apparently one of the offensive linemen that impressed at this week’s Senior Bowl practices is Willie Lampkin-he measured 5’10”, 290 and has a 6’6″ wingspan. I hope he gets drafted.
He’d have to play center at that size, right?
And they’d still want him to put on weight.
I wonder if he’s related to that Willy Loman fellow I used to buy stuff from.
With that much extra length in his arms he could be really good at yoga, which I would absolutely watch as a competitive sport
Fulham!
Yes sir! Another 3 pts on the road!!!
Fine Clubhouse morning!
Goddammit, Bournemouth!!!
You sound surprised.
Not surprised they didn’t beat Liverpool, but I thought they’d tied it up on that rebound off the post.
The past hour must be what happy people feel like all day??
oh my, per The Athletic:
The New Orleans Saints are closing in on their next head coach, with all signs pointing to Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore as the likely choice.
When he inevitably is shitcanned, he’ll have the built-in excuse of having to live in Mickey Loomis’ private bathroom’s janitorial closet due to cost-cutting measures.
Yup, heard that a couple days ago, explains why they’re still waiting
-Touch of downs to Vegas, he’ll enjoy Circus Circus.

Ringmaster: “Watch a QB regress before your very eyes!”
I’m +1’ing this because I think it’s funny, not because I want it to happen.
I’m either up too early or still dreaming.
What in the snickey is happening in Goodison park? And will it lead to more disappointing?
Spurs lost to these AT HOME????
They haven’t been the same since Duncan retired. SoUrry don’t know footy teams
tuff butt FARE
A tip of the coffee to yeah right, litre cola, and hippo and a hearty best of luck to all 3 of their squadoos this window.
This guy looks like such a smarmdouche, but it must be fun to make even sections of a festival crowd move like this.

opening 10 seconds WOO
Zia. She’s great.
absolute art, good man!!
One more good one.
I’d say that’s quite Dandy!
How is there a mosh pit going on to that song?
Hippo your take on the Qards is simply to the bank Brah…
And this lady is excited. I can tell.
She seems excited to see me.
Russel Wilson a RAAAAAIIII DUUURRRR s? 🤔
Unappealing.
Earth, Wind, & Fire are playing the Fire Aid benefit concert. In another timeline, that would be banner-worthy.
Could be worse. The fires could’ve been in September.
Think you meant Earth, Wind, and TOO SOON, Abed!!
Cousins is staying somewhere in the south- N’awlins maybe?
Cousins usually have a good time in the South so that tracks.
Good 7:30 match for once. Let’s hope it’s good for more than 1-0 with a penalty winner by human CPAP machine, Chris Wood.
Truly, a sequence of words I’ve never seen before.
