To quote ESPN:
The Class of 2018 will be chosen by the Board of Selectors at a meeting Feb. 3 in Minneapolis, Minnesota — the day before Super Bowl LII. At that meeting, the list of modern-era finalists will be trimmed to 10 and then to five. The five finalists will then be chosen on a yes-or-no basis, and those who receive 80 percent approval will be enshrined next August in Canton, Ohio.
If you ask me, it should be Lewis (ick), Dawkins, Moss, Faneca & Law. I leave it to people with vested interests or Acela Quiet Car reservations to debate the Moss-Owens issue, but only one of them gets in because they split voters. If they held their nose for Moss they won’t pick Owens, and vice versa.

They seem fun
Mmmm. Brown Shugga. 3 down.
I’m gonna crowd source for a possible article here.
ESPN pooled their group of “Insiders” to fill out the NFL playoff bracket all the way through the Superb Owl.
The fuck is an Insider?
We have “Insiders” at DFO!!!
Give me your predictions for the Wild Card round and why.
I will gather the data and share it as an article.
Who you got?
Tits vs Chefs Saturday at 1:35 PM _ all times Pacific because.
Hotlanta vs the RAMMITS follows at 5:15 PM – note this would be a good time to remove all meds from Hippo’s lair.
Sunday at 10 AM will be the Bills at Jags
Followed by Cams at Saints.
I’ll go first.
Tits, Hotlanta,
Bills and Saints.
The Universe owes it to Buffalo.
P*ts lose because fuck them.
Now that’s a good start!
It’s all starting to make sense.

Chefs, A to the L
Bortling Bortles, Bressus
1) It’s going to be so cold, it’ll be painful for the tits to be out. Chiefs win,catch a cold and die next week. Chris win 21-18
2) Gurley is going to get full penetration up Hotlanta’s A gap. Call Jared Goff BP oil because the birds are going to be too dirty to survive beyond Sunday. 31-21 Rammit
3) A poor performance by Blake Bortles barely beats Bills while Tyrod Taylor takes tons of tackles. Sacksonville wins 15-12 and signs a contract in Cleveland in the offseason.
4) My boy Biggie is still on the Saints, so, I’ll say Kamara cums on Cam and the Saints win 13-10.
Tits/Chefs: The drought’s been dead a couple years, even if that was against an imaginary team. Gimme the Chefs because I can’t lean on that.
Dirty Birds/RAMMIT: Yeah, I’ll take RAMMIT
Jaguras/Bills: Jags defense takes them through. Also lack of snow.
Panthers/WHO DAT: Saints in the Dome? Saints in the Dome.
I think Jags beat Buffalo, Chiefs beat Tits, RAMMIT wins a squeaker, and Cam makes the Panthers the only road team to win this weekend.
Then let’s have RAMMIT upset Minnesota because sorry I’m an asshole, Foles and the Iggles to eke out a win, and then RAMMIT to the Superb Owl.
On the other side, Tom Brady’s PED class will win because 2018 ain’t better than 2017, but the Jags upset the Stillers. Then Bortles goes home at the hands of the Pats.
NE over RAMMIT for literal blue Balls.
Guess the connection.
Poor field of depth focus?
First one is mother (Kate Beckinsale), second is daughter (Lily Sheen).
Also, I can’t believe that Kate Beckinsale was ever married to Michael Sheen (Wesley, if you ever saw 30 Rock).
Ah. Pity her poor judgment. Isn’t she dating a 20 year old now?
Dunno. But her daughter is cute so he can’t be entirely bad.
I cannot wait until the 12th when Donald Trump gets a physical.
That’s going to have as truthful a readout as Whizzinator users
Greetings Boppers.

Dinner time!
/could get into some salad
For all of you out where the temperature has dropped a wee bit:
.
I had to put on socks!
What the hell are the Lakers wearing, and it’s either given or cured me of glaucoma.
They are wearing the throwback Minneapolis Lakers jerseys.
MPLS.
Kind of cool. Very much a shout out to the UCLA Bruins colors.
George Mikan?
Old Time NBA?
I’ll just let you all run with this one:
She’s not a boy; safe. Although with that smile I bet the cameraman is creeped out.
Even for a Brit Stephen Fry is fucking pale.
Alonzo Spellman has left the Bears’ front office to meander barefoot and shirtless down the highway.
me: thanks for letting me work from home
boss: *turns off shower* I meant your home
I always liked that joke.
Nerd!
Sup? I’m smoking some ribs pm Saturday and decided to pick up some wings tomorrow to throw in that as well. I’m stoked. I like smoking meats.
I find that throwing on some sausage at the start gives you a good snack after about an hour while you wait the other 5+ hours for the ribs.
Oh, and beer makes a really good marinade for smoked wings if you’ve never tried it.
The years sure fly by.
Where is “didn’t need a C-section” joke?
Not hardly, kid had to rappel out.
. . . then the other guy says, “Help me find my keys and I’ll drive us both out!”
(audience laughter, sustained applause)
Screw you guys, she’s still hot as fuck.
Not saying she isn’t; I can ride in a canoe and enjoy it just as much as an inner-tube……..
