This is a placeholder till a real post can be created, maybe, or it may be the actual post. The mock draft yesterday was fantastic, led me down a lot of rabbit holes. But one of the things was a short discussion about Susana Hoffs, and low and behold I found

Alone: A Pre-Preseason Tale and Open Thread

Don T - July 23, 2023July 23, 2023

It is the Sunday morning before the start of NFL training camps. (Ed. note: Woooo!) Roger Goodell goes to the underground pool of NFL headquarters to work out some stuff. He carries a canvas tote bag with the NFL logo, takes a tablet out and places it on a stand,

The Definitive Burger Comparison: Five Guys v Shake Shack v In-N-Out

ballsofsteelandfury - July 18, 2023July 17, 2023

I am extremely lucky in that I live within 5 miles of locations for each of the big three "Best" Burger franchises. I speak, of course, of the most overhyped burger places in the United States: Five Guys, Shake Shack, and In-N-Out. People are forever debating which one is best. They

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: The True Nadir

Senor Weaselo - July 12, 2023July 12, 2023

Well, for anyone who watched, that was a bit of an eh game at least in the middle innings. The 8th and 9th were interesting though. For anyone who didn't, the NL beat the AL 3-2 in the All-Star Game in Seattle last night on the strength of an 8th

As you may remember, I was scheduled to play a tournament using only four clubs. I sought advice from the DFO Commentists and settled on the following four clubs: 5 Wood 7 Iron Pitching Wedge Putter I ended up shooting an even 100! This was a satisfyingly good result! As you know, my goal has been

Balls Magazine Volume 17

As you may have noticed, I have been lax in publishing new episodes of Balls Magazine. That's not to say that I haven't been playing golf. I have. I've just been really damn busy with a lot of work and real life stuff. To wit, here is the latest: I played

It's so nice when you are working with true professionals that are good at their job. The Franco bullet perfectly grazed the shoulder pad on his suit and landed square in the middle of the decorative pillow on the bed. The Sally bullet went through her hair in the gap between

I like to check back at the end of the EPL season to see how well we did at predicting stuff. Call it an accountability thing or call it a competitive thing. Either way, here is a handy dandy table showing the final results plus how we predicted them: ACTUALHippo LitreBallsMan

ballsofsteelandfury - May 30, 2023May 16, 2023

We had been on the road for a couple of hours when I farted. "Really?" "Sorry. I guess I overdid it yesterday with the tapas." "Dude!" It was pretty bad, I had to admit. We had started off hesitantly, not sure if we could trust each other. After an hour of talking shop, we reached

So, to give our esteemed yeah right a week off of these Sunday Gravy posts, I have the unenviable task of trying to fill those mixing bowls, sheet pans, measuring cup, fuck, not sure which one, if any, works. And i think this is,like, year 7 of him doing the

As you may have noticed, I have been lax in publishing new episodes of Balls Magazine. That's not to say that I haven't been playing golf. I have. I've just been playing really shitty golf. To wit, here are my results from my last three rounds: 107 at Santa Anita Golf

"So much for moving on to Part 3", I told the empty room. I then proceeded to empty out my vocabulary of curse words in both English and Spanish. I might have thrown some French in there for good measure. Was the lawyer THAT connected that he instantly got someone to
