“Save Us, Jameis!” and Other Signs of Desperation: Tampa Bay at the Bye

So the Roadrunner's a dick, right? Wile E. Coyote has some issues of his own, no argument.  The ancient Greeks wish they had come up with a hubris myth as simple and powerful as Wile opening an ACME box. But the Roadrunner is the real villain of the series.  Weird Al Yankovic

Bears at the Bye

INT. DFO PRODUCTION OFFICE – DAY A pair of sleazy Hollywood producers are taking a meeting.  One (DARKEST TIMELINE ZACH MORRIS) is seated at his desk with a bottle of Apple brand glass cleaner and an Apple brand lint-free cloth polishing his Apple Watch while the other (RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY) lays recumbent on the

Black Panthers at the 2018 Bye

What can one really say after three weeks?  I thought we might see a pretty ordinary bunch of Charlatans, and they have pretty much...held serve.  A dull home win over the Cowpokes, followed by a road loss inside Megatron's Butthole (ewwwww), capped by a fairly decent home win against the
