Hello, hello friends, neighbors and fellow astral travelers. Who's ready for some more motherfucking gravy? I know! I really can't believe it or explain it myself. Eleven goddamn seasons of this thing. How did this happen? Why do I keep going? I have no fucking idea! It's just one of those things. End of football

It is a three day weekend for a lot of us in North America. Yesterday was St. Valentine's Day, which means that today you're either exhausted from all the effort you went through yesterday to make it special or you're scrambling to make up for the fact that you didn't

It is Superb Owl Eve and throughout the DFO clubhouse not a creature is stirring because they're all taking a nap prior to getting wasted and then sleeping it off until kickoff/halftime. That applies, of course, to those that celebrate. Many will not be watching for Chiefs-related reasons. I'll be watching

I guess I'm back on! I know I did these last year but I forgot there were no games today. I am committed to doing these again this year, so strap yourselves in! What to talk about? Current Events Today, the Trump administration slapped tariffs on goods from Mexico, Canada, and China. Somewhere,

It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times. See early in the nightcap thread for Rikki's backstory on the wondroUs banner pic. First, though - the "meh, I'm fine either way" battle of semi-likeables, Commies at Iggles. Lenin's men took the pitch on offense first, and slowly

Squeezing the last dollar out of property and collecting every single web click on game days are the National Football Lee’s Manifest Destiny and Manifest Destiny II: Xmas Is Ours Now Too. The greed doesn’t bother me; it’s only vulgar and boring. What rrrrllly gets under my skin is the

Last Days of Disco, indeed. And even in matches where my preference is only mild - all *my* sides take it up the poop chute. Pour one out for the 500s, boned by The Narrator in Kansas City. Then the poor Fuck LioUns, where Baby Buster did some...unfortunate things, both before

What's new in the world, one might ask. Not fuck shit, one might answer. Appreciate this last weekend of both (i) full FITBAW schedule; and (ii) liberal democracy. Hey, there's a better than 50/50 shot prong (i) will at least come around again. Depends on when the shooting wars start, I reckon. Presumably,

YEEEHHHHHAAAAAWWWWW, Wild Card Weekend means SIX games now, not that they all lived up to any sort of billing. Very briefly recapping Saturday, the 500s started horribly, then flipped on a dime and ass-blasted Clippers du Merde, 32-12. A Scorigami and everything! Houston springing to life could have maybe inspired the Yinzers

Well, this here is the last marathon, until next season (absent the heat death of the universe, which I think we'd all welcome). As a departure, let's start with the ending - the only game with real stakes, Minny at Detroit. I honestly didn't know what to expect. Vikes have the

BUTT PILLOWS. YES, THEY ARE! Allow me to explain and/or provide some context. Zymm, of all people, posted the image below: Screenshot_20241228-160857~2.png I was, naturally, curious. I looked up the Buttress Pillow website and went down a rabbit hole that allowed me to miss the bulk of the Saturday games. I posted some

Do you like terrible, no-stakes FITBAW? Boy howdy, did the last NFL Sunday of 2024 have a treat in store for YOU! How shitty are the Cowpersons, really? Tanner Motherfucking McKee outscored them on this balmy afternoon. Saquon stayed in until he broke the 2000 mark, as the N-GCp went dirty to
