Your “Well, That Was A Game” Monday Evening Open Thread

Yes, the wrong team won the Super Bowl. Yes, to paraphrase many, the Bucs faced Mahomes, Rodgers, and Brees in the playoffs, and yet the QB who came close to knocking them out was Taylor Heinicke. Yes, it's a fact that Tom Brady now has more rings than any individual franchise. Now, let

[DFO] Hate Week & Thursday Evening Open Thread

At last, we reach the zenith of Hate. No, not my childhood. That's for my "discussion" with the therapist. (Insert Moose gif here.) Something more visceral... There we go.

“Even Sherman Thinks That’s Enough” – The Falcons Off Their Bye

The problem with following Senor's post about the Jets is that he used all the good words & euphemisms for "bad". But what about other teams that suck? The Atlanta Falcons surely qualify for such words, as they were in a Super Bowl as recently as... oh fuck it, here's the

Well, it's been another fun week of Donald Trump not surrendering, so lets take a look at the news: This charming fellow went by the name Peter Sutcliffe, but the press called him the "Yorkshire Ripper". Between 1975-80 he killed 13 women in northern England & attempted to kill seven more.

Your “The Skies of November Turned Gloomy” Tuesday Evening Open Thread

NFL Nuggets: Ben Roethlisberger is among four Steelers added to reserve/COVID-19 list, joining already quarantined teammate Vance McDonald. They all will be isolated for five days. Each will have to pass COVID-19 tests throughout the week if they want to be able to play in Sunday's game against Cincinnati. When
