Just one more week before the regular season starts. I can't believe it's so close...I can practically taste it. Wait, no, that's last week's Request Line, when we took a double dip into the well of Eli, taking on the topic of "fruits". My own weekend was relatively fruit-free, since I

INT. GIANTS PRACTICE FACILITY - DAY We follow from over the shoulder of a tall, strong, confident young man as he strides through a hallway in the Giants practice facility in East Rutherford, New Jersey. He pauses in front of the door, then hammers both his palms into it, causing the

ELI MANNING: Hi everybody! It's me, Eli. I'm sorry I haven't written before now. Thanks for all the help last summer you gave me on my vocabulary words! Training camp is pretty much over this year and Coach Sullivan said "[a very bad word] all that vocabulary [another bad word], just

SWEET SWEET FOOTBALL METHADONE! Thanks to the one-two punch of (meaningless) football and the Summer Poo-lympics, last weekend was pretty much the sportsiest weekend of the summer. We've got just more than three weeks of speculating about depth charts and final rosters, lamenting over injuries, and revising our fantasy draft boards

INT. RECORDING STUDIO - LATE NIGHT The segment producer and an intern - CONNOR - stand in front of the sound board, peering into the recording booth. PRODUCER: [yawns] You got that coffee? CONNOR: [hands over a steaming mug] PRODUCER: How are we for time? CONNOR: Two minutes to air. If you don't mind my asking,

Last week, Request Line was ably administered by Low Commander of the Super Soldiers with an assist from Dan Snyder, with the topic being "all things stupid" (aah, it burns!). I think we can retroactively dedicate this one to the idiot groundskeepers of Tom Benson Stadium at the Hall of Fame in

INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY A pair of radio station employees stand in the production booth, obviously upset and arguing over something. STATION MANAGER: You said you wanted a businessman! That's what we've got! PRODUCER: I said a smart businessman! I'm amazed this guy can even tie his own shoes! DAN SNYDER: [In the

Greetings and welcome to another edition of DFO Radio! Don T provided us with this week's fantastic topic, "Damaged Goods" and it turned into one of our biggest (and best, in my opinion) playlists ever. I'm headed off to jury duty today, so I'll be watching lots of potential jurors

Denny Green died this morning due to cardiac arrest. While most folks remember him for his spectacular tirade after his Cardinals blew a 20 point lead against the Bears in 2006, he should be better remembered for his tenure as coach of the Minnesota Vikings from 1992 to 2001. In

So last Friday the Dreamboat stopped by and threatened (promised? thromised?) to seduce every woman you ever had the slightest feeling of warmth towards. What follows is the soundtrack to his intended debauchery, and the twisted trail of emotional wreckage he intends to leave behind. There wasn't much sports action over

Hello. I'm Tom Brady. You might have recently read the news that my petition was denied by the U.S. Second Court of Appeals, and that I'll be forced to serve a four game suspension for allegedly tampering with footballs. That's fine. I'll accept my punishment. While Jimmy Garoppolo takes my place on

DFO Radio: Electricity

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly - July 11, 2016July 11, 2016

The theme for last week's Request Line was "Electricity", which prompted a visit from a very special guest who was rather bemused to have been overlooked for hosting duties. I've completed the dark blood ritual of penance, but his acolytes have informed me that it has done little to assuage
