TGISF… Talking Baseball

I like baseball.  That's not exactly a secret, I suppose. But what you folks might not realize is that I like baseball just for the sake of baseball itself.  What I mean by that is that I enjoy watching baseball even when I don't have a particular rooting interest.  Weird, but

Your “Maybe Lock The Doors” Wednesday Evening Open Thread

NFL News: Here's a good thing: police recovered most of Roquan Smith's stolen property & arrested an individual. The only object missing from the above trove: his Bears iPad. On an unrelated note, not all NE Patriots trainers have been accounted for. Here's an "ugh, really?" thing: Mark Ingram is

Sunday Gravy Sabbatical: Boots on the Ground! DTLA and Staples Center.

Howdy folks! First of all a quick apology as Sunday Gravy is on a one week hiatus, it will return next week in it's regular time frame. Trust me, next week is going to be an INSANE episode of Sunday Gravy and I can't wait to throw that fucker down. If you

Offseason Qb Interviews. Arizona edition.

I love the desert, maybe I can squeeze some golf in after the interview. It’s so handy that the stadium is so close to the metro area and Sky HarboUr…… It has proven to be very successful for the local hockey heroes, their attendance is through the roof and they

Offseason QB Interviews! – Denver edition.

Ahhh yeaahh Denver. Mountains? Check. Good beer? Check. Legal weed? Check. QB interview? Well, we shall just see about that. I have absolutely no idea who I am going to speak to but I will trust that Internet Dad has this set up for me. First things first have to

Offseason QB Interviews! – San Francisco Edition.

Alright, third time lucky I am sure with all the optimism in San Francisco that the dysfunction will have left the facility. /Arrives at AT&T Park Sweet, maybe I can get some of my beloved Dirt Niners gear before my interview. Where the hell is the entrance for the Niners part of

FISHNET: A BoTG Investigation

Author's Note:  I watched a lot of TV when I was a kid.  One of my favorites was old reruns of Dragnet.  For me, Jack Webb's vocal mannerisms as the Joe Friday character are classic, and sometimes even now, that just comes out.  That's what happened here when I sat

Offseason QB Interviews! Oakland Edition

It is a dreary day in Oakland as I arrive at the ‘international’ airport. I can’t help but notice that this seems like a third world airport minus the tuk-tuks outside. As I make my way to the O.co facility I wonder how the new announcement of the new head

STRAIGHT UP TRIPPIN IN L.A, YO! Boots on the Ground: Saints at Rams by DJ Taj

Banner image courtesy of the legendary Ralph Steadman. Turn off your mind, relax and just float along with me. Maybe it was the 50 grams of high grade edible pot or maybe it was the terribly (we'll get to that ) overpriced beers but what started out was a simple idea, I'm

DFO-CON Vegas II – We’re All Still Alive

As most of you are aware, and are probably tired of hearing about by now I'm sure, some of us here at DFO got together this past weekend in Las Vegas for fun and fellowship.  It was our 2nd consecutive year in Vegas.  And though our numbers may have been

Boots on the Ground: Valhalla

On Saturday 10-21-17 through Tuesday 10-24-17, I fulfilled a major goal and visited Minneapolis to see a Vikings game and to just as importantly see the new US Bank Stadium. Holy fucking shit kids. This stadium is incredible. Some of the reasons for choosing this weekend was; it was right around my
