Your “Feed Me (Richard) Seymour!” Tuesday Evening Open Thread

NFL Noise: It's mostly coaching news today: It was, according to PFT, "Love at first sight" between Jerry Jones & Mike McCarthy. BTW - worst Marvel pairing since Sue Storm & Matt Murdock. The Panthers are hiring Baylor's Matt Rhule as their new coach. It's a seven-year, $60 million deal, which

Your “Who Is He Dares Enter These My Woods?” Monday Evening Open Thread

This past weekend I decided on one more quick trip out of town. Christmas with Mom had gone well, and WineWife wasn't disappointed with my New Year's plans. So when an offer showed up in my inbox from one of [DFO]'s inner circle, I leaped at the chance to meet

The Friday Evening Pre-Christmas Open Thread Post

Welcome to my last post of the year. I asked Seamus if he wouldn't mind switching with me, and he readily agreed since it's taking longer than he expected to get the squirrel piss out of the carpet. #thoughtsandprayers I will be away from the #content mines for a couple of weeks.

Your “Jesting At Scars That Never Felt A Wound” Wednesday Evening Open Thread

NFL Noise: Greg Olsen sounds like a person done with all that shit, and has no intent on being part of a rebuild. "No one ever gets to write their ending, write their final script. As I told you guys on the day we found out about Ron [Rivera being

Your “Brees Betters Babymaker; Boosts Boltman” Tuesday Evening Open Thread

NFL Nuggets: The touchdown record gets all the acclaim, but what warms the cold, dead heart of the average [DFO] Commentist is the fact that Drew Brees also eliminated another Charger from the record books. By going 29-30, for a completion percentage of .966, Drew Brees bested the best completion

Belichick claims no involvement in the affair: "I'm really focused on getting ready for the Bengals here." "We're

Your “Expectations & Obligations” Saturday Evening Post

So tonight is WineWife's Office Christmas party. We've all been down that road before - the +1 to a partner's corporate function. It's so much worse when you are the invitee, because there's some sort of higher expectation for both bad and good behaviour. The co-workers all want to see

Your “What’s Old Is New Again” Wednesday Evening Open Thread

NFL Noise: Break out the juice boxes, because Eli Manning is coming back to active duty! Current & future disappointment Daniel Jones is in a walking boot with a moderate high ankle sprain, making dragging Eli out of mothballs a necessity. If he does play on Monday night, Eli would meet the

Boots On The Ground – Tundra Hunting At Lambeau Field

(This has been ready for a while, but I saved it for a slow #content day, because why step on others' good writing.) It’s no secret I enjoy attending sporting events. After all - I sell beer at baseball games. At least five times per year I drive down to Seattle

Your “What If You Neither Walk Away Nor Run?” Tuesday Evening Open Thread

NFL Nuggets: The big news of the day is that Riverboat Ron got run out of town. Carolina fired him after a 5-7 start, behind a team that has thrown 15 TDs versus 11 interceptions, been sacked 45 times & given up an average of 23 points per game. He's
