Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 9, 2024

Holy cats, there was SO MUCH FITBAW.  At least it felt that way to my poor, leaky brain.  Like the Greatest Living American reminded us, after today we've gone halfway through the regular season.  Anticipatory depression can go ahead and start blueprints, at least.  The banner pic is because all

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 8, 2024 Season

Welcome to Week 8 action, no byes.  Don't forget to buy Halloween candy, then buy MOAR when you eat the first batch.  You disgusting, fat pig. Cincy went with the "White Tiger" kit this week, and the vast majority of the home support decided to join in.  Depending on one's perspective, it

Holy shit, we made it!  Three weeks of MANDATORIUM duty, despite having to start with Jaguras/P*ts - and finish with the goddamned Q-aron Jest.  But challenge us, for DFO will rise up to meet it, with unfettered devotion. New England ran out to a 10-nil lead, but much like that most painful

Some days, one just feels like monkeyshit.  I wasn't hungover, I don't think actually sick, I DID remember to take my anti-crazy pills in the morning...so, who knows.  Maybe just the pressure of living in this fucking Darkest Timeline. But STILL, I was up in time for MANDATORY WATCH DUTIES.  What did we

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 5, 2024 Season

Across the pond we go, for the first 14-hour MANDATORIUM in the Clubhouse. That means we started our FITBAW day with the sour grimace of Q-aron.  After a fairly hot start (including, but not limited to, drawing eleventy-billion DPI calls on medium-to-deep tosses to Justin Jefferson), Touch of Downs seemed to succomb

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 4, 2024 Season

Strange happenings were indeed afoot at the Circle K.  Read on/ Some things, one can NEVAR unhear.  Like the match commentator comparing The Gospel According to Fatthew to...Magic Johnson?  Uh, ok then.  RRRRRRRRRRAM IT!! have been doing it with smoke and mirrors, but the Chi**** held them in check, and forced two

The Increasingly Poor Decisions of King Hippo - my Loser Pool re-set on Friday, and after much hesitation, I sent in my fee Sunday morning and submitted my pick. The goddamned Donks, of course.  So not only did I feel like the idjit donor in imaginary GAMBLOR, but it also removed

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 2, 2024 Season

After the chaos and near-chaos of Week One, one might have expected a return to form.  But outside of Arrowhead Stadium (soUrry, Redshirt), it ain't really happen. We had a whopping TEN games in the early window, which is asking an awful lot of Scott Muthafuckin' Hanson and his RedZone crew. 

Sunday gravy with yeah right: Season Ten Finale! Tourtière! For all of our Canadian Neighbours!

For the last time this season, good morning everyone! Happy Labor Day weekend and all of that good shit too. Welcome to the Sunday Gravy season ten finale. Yes. Ten fucking years of Sunday Gravy right here on DFO. A mixed bag of complete honor and colossal pain-in-the ass that I wouldn't trade
