“Ugh – Again With This Crap?” – A Walking Dead Review

Beerguyrob - February 27, 2017February 27, 2017

Man... I don't even know. I can tell you that I watched the Oscars with my wife, looking for my future wife. I will die on these hills. The whole fuck-up at the end was my reward for sticking it through until the end, which was some time after 9:00 Best Coast time. Then I

DFO Poker Club Announcement

ballsofsteelandfury - February 27, 2017February 26, 2017

I mentioned this on the AFL Beat, but it bears repeating: DFO Poker Club We at DFO are constantly looking for ways to improve the commentist experience. The thing that built this site was the sense of comraderie that existed on the open threads at our former home. We wanted to keep

In the last day or two before the Academy awards, I like to try to expand my horizons and watch a few of the movies Oscar forgot, the ones that were too small or too weird or just for whatever reason overlooked. Last year, just before the show, I caught Tangerine,

Your 2017 Daytona 500 Open Thread

Horatio Cornblower - February 26, 2017February 26, 2017

My father-in-law is a big NASCAR fan. Which is weird since he's in Southern California, (unless he's been washed away over the last week; come to think of it we should probably call), by way of Connecticut, neither of which are areas particularly known for rickets, poor dentistry, shitty beer

makeitsnowondem - February 24, 2017February 24, 2017

I was planning on holding my favorite cluster of categories till Saturday, but it's been a long-ass week and you all deserve something fun to read about and dammit, I deserve something fun to write about. As cool as it is to get into the nuts and bolts of what's

Hard Ride To Nowhere (Chapter 70)

Beastmode Ate My Baby - February 24, 2017February 23, 2017

The scene: The DFO clubhouse. It's deserted, aside from Unsurprised, PK and Future Clone Debbie Harry, who are all inside. Future Clone Debbie Harry: Unacceptable! This is totally unacceptable! I come back here to take my revenge, and everyone is gone? PK: Maybe they went out for some doughnuts. You know, I

Oscar Preview 2017: Lights and Sounds

makeitsnowondem - February 23, 2017February 23, 2017

Outside of football season, one of my favorite events to share with you fine folks has always been the Oscars. Back during the KSK days, the Oscar liveblog was an oasis in an offseason that, by three weeks in, had already gone on for far too long. I often had barely

Beerguyrob - February 20, 2017February 20, 2017

Just so we're clear: Sorry not sorry there was no review of last week's episode. I was busy. Boy howdy - a lot of websites sure liked last night's episode. I'm not sure how I feel. Visually, it was stunning. Plotwise it felt like another Herschel's farm episode, but in three locations. Okay,

Hard Ride To Nowhere (Chapter 69) Special King-Size Edition!

Beastmode Ate My Baby - February 17, 2017February 17, 2017

The scene: A little-used U.S./Mexico border crossing, where a border patrol officer is showing a young rookie the ropes. Border Patrol Officer: Now, y'see, you've gotta know who to let through and who might be a clear and present danger to our country and the American way of life. Rookie: Yessir! But... Border

An “AAAAARGH!!1!1!1” Rant About Canadian Broadcasting Rules

Beerguyrob - February 16, 2017February 16, 2017

So, for those of you who pay attention, I'm a Canadian. You can't deport me, because I'm safely ensconced north of the border. But that doesn't mean I don't have opinions - sometimes, impolite opinions. One of my particular peeves is about the qualities of Canadian broadcasting regulations, and in particular about

25 Questions About the NFL from a barely interested former “fan”

ballsofsteelandfury - February 16, 2017February 15, 2017

I've changed the title a bit, but we're back with 25 questions. I want to keep it at 25 although I am totally tempted to include the following song in every post: Today, we tackle the NFL Offseason and what people do to spend the time. *** So, today I got a Groupon
