Your “Sir Doug Nicholls Round Recap Redux” Thursday Night Open Thread

Good evening and Happy June. I'm writing this well in advance because today marks ten years since Lady BFC and I went on our first date, and if I'm in the DFO clubhouse typing away instead of celebrating, something has gone horribly wrong. Speaking of things going horribly wrong, the reason

Your “Sir Doug Nicholls Round AFL Recap” Thursday Night Open Thread

Evening. Five posts in one month from this guy?  I guess you all can't get rid of me. This past weekend was the AFL's Sir Doug Nicholls Round, and while you may recognize that term from Balls's previous writeups, I thought maybe tonight I could do an homage to BeerGuyRob and

Random Thoughts with BFC, Volume 16

Remember that old SNL sketch “Fecal Matter with your Host, Doug Fecal”? No? Yeah I figured it was just me. It was a solid (heh) talk show format with a specialized host and topic. Well, we ain’t exactly doing Pod Flies Open around here, but what about in written form,

Your Substitute Sunday Night Open Thread

DonT is off tonight. I can't remember if it was something about a "deposition" or a "deep position in your mom." Speaking of, how was everyone's mother's day? Sufficiently loaded with guilt about how you didn't quite do enough or did too much in a poorly thought out attempt to offset

Your “BFC Has More AFL Thoughts” Thursday Night Open Thread

Three weeks of the 2023 Aussie Footy season are in the books, and here are some observations from 'Murrica: Holy shit was I (read: everyone) wrong about Geelong. They're at the bottom of the ladder and looking woeful/like they woefully belong there. Injuries are crushing teams, not just my Giants

Not-So-Instant BFC Thoughts (on Aussie Footy)

Did you get that thing I didn't send you? Consider this an alternative "AFL Beat" that will mainly focus on the games I watched/tracked this weekend (and I make no promises of doing this on the reg). Keep in mind that I watch these games post hoc on the WatchAFL app,
