ballsofsteelandfury - February 10, 2025February 10, 2025

I thought this was the first time I'd be playing Substitute Teacher for Ye Olde Hippo but I discovered that I had previously substituted when he decided to boycott the Super Bowl when Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Bucs beat the same KC Chiefs playing the Philly Eagles in

ArmedandHammered - June 3, 2024June 3, 2024

This: Just so you know, this was being passed around in the Clubhouse and several DFOers had ... questions. I volunteered to write this up as a post and since multiple people were involved in the discussion, I'm going to include the person responsible for each question. Strap yourselves in. Phrasing. DFO has

Your Thursday “Asleep-At-the-Switch” Carpenter Thread

WCS - December 14, 2023December 14, 2023

Ahoy-yoy! I realized I never did a Stillers bye week report, but who cares. They're 7-6, will never beat the Patriots in any meaningful way, the offensive is broken to hell, and are somehow in currenth #6th seed. Tomlin Voodoo is real, ya'll. Just accept this. This season has been so

So, the Bowl matchups for what King Hippo affectionately calls JV Footy came out and I was perusing them and had some thoughts. Ergo Ipso Factum Testiculum, here we are. There are a grand total of 44 (FORTY FOUR!) bowl games this year, so I am breaking them into pieces

One of the most messed-up commercials we've all seen for a while. Of course, it's by one of the tech companies that are trying to take over your entire life. I speak of the Alexa commercial with the old couple. For those of you that have not

Cincinnati Bengals Bye Week Update – State of the Steelers

ballsofsteelandfury - December 1, 2021November 30, 2021

First of all, allow me to show off this bad boy: I love me some Cincinnati. I love WKRP. I think Redshirt is one of our coolest commenters. I have fond memories of watching Ken Anderson play back in the day. Unfortunately, the National Football League franchise knowns as

In a happy coincidence that is in no way ironic or predictive, in the middle of the Great Depression in the year 1934, the Detroit Lions were born. A rich person named G.A. Richards bought the Portsmouth (Ohio) Spartans and, in traditional NFL fashion, quickly moved them to another

I've decided to switch up the format of Sexy Friday a little bit. Change is good. Go with me here. One reason is that I've found that I need a space to put some stuff out there that doesn't fall into the traditional post categories. I've done serials with tWBS,

I've greatly enjoyed the Olympics. I think I've enjoyed them more because the coverage is more focused on the action itself instead of all the hoopla around it. I haven't seen one story about sex in the Olympic Village and I'm really happy about that. Which brings me
