A Jackie Gleason reference? WTF? Anyhoo, I'm amped. Are you amped? It might have something to do with the Giants playing and the coaches installing an offense that doesn't embrace the 80's (more about that in a hot second) and the fact that all three of their preseason games are

It seems like forever since I did one of these. (I really should write more during the offseason but by the Super Bowl I feel burnt out-woe is me-and then after that it requires effort on my behalf, so that's a no-go) The baby steps refer to getting back into

I remember a time when I did Thursday Night Open Threads on the regular. A Few Trenchant Thought Thingys: -the need to talk about/weigh in on The Slap is the silliest thing ever. -The Sillycuse basketball program is in freefall and there's nothing anyone can do about it other than Jim Boeheim. So

Welcome one and all to the last football game of the year! How we got here I don't know. Every year it's a gotdamn blur of games, stats, dumb jokes, fantasy disappointment and open threads. And every year I drag my sorry ass back for more. Why? Because there's nothing

Moving along... To The Game! Niners/Rams: -Trent Williams' status is "Adamant" and that's why teammates call him 'Goody Two Shoes' behind his back. His qb has said that he has a high ankle sprain and if that's true I have no idea how he'll be able to suit up. -One must think that Cam

A sobering thought just occurred to me-there's only three games left this season. Damn. Well, at least I've got the Senators and Sillycuse to watch. Okay, do me a favor and gouge my eyes out. If it was good enough for Zedekiah then by gum, it's good enough for me! To

Gimme some more of that sweet, sweet divisional playoffs action. We all deserve it. Thing is, and this is odd for me, I don't want either of these teams to lose. They're fairly likeable (yes, I know-Beasley, Tyreek and Andy may be excluded here to varying degrees) and play a

Football Talking People: "Oh god, you must get home field. It's of the greatest importance, it's all that matters!" The Rest of Us: "Right. Shut up." Home field meant all of diddly yesterday and we're grateful for that. Long ago, and in certain situations now, it might have its value but these days

Get thee on your steeds! There's a tourney underway! Ok, enough of that silliness... To The Game! Niners/Packers: -Am I scotchnautradamus? Turns out that Nick Bosa did indeed have a 'playoff concussion', ie., one that isn't that serious because there's an important game to be played. Welcome to your CTE years Nick-I hope

Guess who was inundated with every kind of hat ad imaginable all week long? This guy, that's who. (the personal sacrifices I make for this site, smgdh) Maybe it's just the football yakkers doing their thing to keep interest up (which is completely unnecessary during the Final Eight Round, by

Here at DFO there were derby's aplenty and over at the NFL, they were busy extricating the "Super" from the Wild Card Weekend. As I've said many times before, we always make the best of it though. Fallout: -Though tis early, it looks like Tristan Wirfs will be a game-time decision next

Last one, I promise. I've a feeling GG would go way over the top if she went to the Kentucky Derby so I picked out a little something for her. To The Game! Steelers/Chiefs: -How does Tomlin get these severely flawed teams into the playoffs all the freakin' time? Well, this time Pitt
