1967 AFL Season Preview

In honor of Anniversary Week, the good folks of the [DFO] writing staff have looked through the years—nay, decades—of lost misplaced #content in search for articles that may have gone by the wayside. Yes, we've always been here, Mr. Torrance. You've already seen Shogun's discovery, and here's an article before

Your “No, We’re Not Gonna Do F***in’ Stonehenge!” Wednesday Night Open Thread

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAXzzHM8zLw Tonight and tomorrow night are Manhattanhenge, a twice-yearly phenomenon (once in the spring, once in the summer) where the setting sun aligns perfectly with the Manhattan street grid. It looks something… like-a this. It's enough of a nerdy curiosity that it's right up my alley! So of course I've never successfully

Your “And It Was the Best Day Ever” Tuesday Night/MLB ASG Open Thread

Well at least for me it was. More after the news. NFL News Subtract one day from all the things I said yesterday! Chiefs promote co-director of player personnel Brett Veach to general manager after former GM John Dorsey parted on mutual terms.

Your “It’s Only the Unofficial Start of Summer, It’s Still Good!” Memorial Day Open Thread

Seriously, I can't be the only one miffed, nay, irked, that the Stanley Cup Final goes in June at this point. In what world is there ice in fucking June? Other than, you know, the Southern Hemisphere since it's winter there. (For what it's worth, I also have beefs with

Boots on the Ground at the NYC Hot Sauce Expo 2: Fear the Reaper

(Electric Boogaloo didn't quite cut it, nor did The Quickening. Maybe Back 2 Tha Hood but that doesn't work for Greenpoint, too hipster… where was I? Oh yeah.) So another year, another expo, another evening and following day of gastrointestinal discomfort, all that good stuff. I don't have to give as

Breaking: ESPN Lays Off a Bunch of People, Some of Whom You Might Like

Earlier today (it's still before midnight DFO time!) ESPN laid off a whole bunch of people from their on-air staff including SportsCenter anchors, people on Baseball Tonight, a whole bunch of college reporters, and basically their whole hockey staff not named Barry Melrose.

I'm still Senor Weaselo, and this is still House of Pain where I eat hot sauces normal sane people probably shouldn't, because I'm neither normal nor sane! Last time I went on about the hot sauce that started this whole shebang many years ago. This time
