Good evening. The thinking goes that it's the offseason, time to slack off and just crawl up in a ball of avoidance until the NFL Draft. Up here in DFO, it's at least 2 posts per day. I've been tied up with a Spanish peli rosa about time travel and Y2K

Delicious Dishes: Sunday Night Open Thread

Don T - March 16, 2025March 16, 2025

Good evening, you caught me in a good time. I have a wide smile and a full belly after having my favorite dish: rice and beans and bistec encebollado. It what’s on the banner pic, except mine looked better and tasted . It was during lunch with someone I love and

Meditations on Pimpin’ – Sunday Open Thread

Don T - March 9, 2025March 9, 2025

Buenas noches. Legal tampering starts tomorrow, and NFL 2025 starts next Wednesday. And then there will be the schedule release, draft, rookie minicamps, training camps, and then September, now and forever, amén. But it got rough from the Peak Nothingness between the Owl and now. I’d rather not talk about it,

2024 Narrative Clearinghouse

Don T - January 23, 2025January 23, 2025

Squeezing the last dollar out of property and collecting every single web click on game days are the National Football Lee’s Manifest Destiny and Manifest Destiny II: Xmas Is Ours Now Too. The greed doesn’t bother me; it’s only vulgar and boring. What rrrrllly gets under my skin is the

Cutting Out the Bloat – 2024 NFL Playoffs

Don T - January 16, 2025January 16, 2025

There’s a documentary series out there called “Game 7”, which the blurbs promote as THE MOST EXCITING EVENT IN SPORTS AND THEREFORE ALL HISTORY and so on. Yeah... Nope! Gimme instead the single elimination NFL playoffs, with the nervous intensity and the violence and random bounces and inconsistent refereeing. That’s

‘Sup. I’m on plane in Panamá City to San Juan, PR after a 10-day vacay in Bogotá. It. Was. Awesome. Did I have coca tea? Sí. Was it good? ¡Oh sí! And necessary; Bogotá’s altitude is a motherfucker for olding basterds like Meeee. Check out the water traffic from BOG to

It happened 12 years ago, September 24, 2012, Prime Time. Pack @ C-Hox, a clear interception was ruled as the game winning TD by the replacement refs... Momentuous occasion, we should’ve had ribs. After the game, Kissing Suzy Kolber almost broke (IIRC) and the NFL caved to the refs out on

Buenos días. Your friendly neighboUrhood Scotchnaut caught a case of the Real Lifes and is indisposed for posting duties on this most blessed (and kinda hungover) Sunday, may Gamblor be unto you. Let me wish, for those who partake, a Happy Fantasy Football playoffs. Your 14 weeks of blind luck

Become Revolutionary: Be Decent

Don T - November 6, 2024November 12, 2024

Donald Trump is a proven liar, fraudster, sex assaulter, top-secrets divulger, and is likely a foreign agent. This declining and feckless creep cares about nothing but his money. I’d offer my condolences to U.S. citizens, but 47 is the president of Puerto Rico too. And we don’t get to vote

2024 Titans Bye Report: Hostage Situation

DFOing Good

Don T - October 9, 2024October 9, 2024

I hoped the Titans would reach their bye at 1-3. Well look at that: they did. They say: have low or zero expectations, and you will never be disappointed. This is airtight logic, a great defenCe mechanism, but a freakin’ downer. I prefer my wisdom with a side order of SOME

Roach at the Hen Dance: 2024 Titans Preview

Don T - September 7, 2024September 8, 2024

About 20 teams dominate NFL discourse in all its manifestations, from yelling between fans to the hurling of fecal hashtags, and even “Letter to a Young Me” vomitives. By contrast, AFC South teams are the kids’ table of the National Football Lee, and the Titans are the stinky introvert who

Burying the 2024 Offseason – Sunday Night Open Thread

Don T - September 1, 2024September 1, 2024

Stop all the clocks. Cut off the cellphone ringer. Mute all family chats. Program “Out-Of-Office” emails to run at lunchtime next Thursday, graffiti your church with C U in Fe March, and make your fat clothes accessible in your closet and drawer because the time of sloth and rage and
