yeah right - February 19, 2023February 17, 2023

Hey everyone! How we all doing? How have you been? What the fuck am I even doing here for the NINTH SEASON IN A ROW! Welcome back to Sunday Gravy! One of DFO's blatant attempts to keep you entertained during the long, horrible and interminable off-season. With food! Lovely, homemade, delicious food! I must

This post was actually inspired by BFC's Thursday Night Open Thread in which he professed his love for the maple bar. The plan is for this to be an ongoing off-season series on Saturday nights in which I present to you my five favourite somethings and then you comment and

Danger Elbow: A Puppy Injury Tale

Alex_Demote - February 17, 2023February 16, 2023

I got my first Kai Ken in early 2014. They're a special and exceedingly rare breed of ancient Japanese hunting dog that bond very closely to their owners and otherwise don't want much to do with people. For this reason, they're very hard to re-home and breeders are very selective

This was a really, REALLY good game of football. Jalen Hurts played his ass off. As DonT noted, Toradol turned Mahomes around while Rihanna did her cat-in-heat screechings. I really, REALLY would have liked to see how that untainted game ends. With the Chefs up 3, Hurts a buck-forty-five and one

The Fingers are slipping. Our grip now loose and floppy after once being sunk firmly and deeply into the grab-holes of first place. We are nearing the pure, un-scrubbed ass bottom of the league standings. I’m also being consistently shorted on purples when I get “rainbow” carrots. We entered last week

It took me all late game to figure it out, but finally it hit like a bolt out of the blue. Big Narrative wanted Andy Reid to face the Iggles. So obvious in retrospect, but I guess I dumbly thought Burrow and the 'KRP crew were an excellent story, and would

I suppose nothing qualified as bananacakes, but hey - except for the Saturday late show, it was compelling viewing. At least for me. Good news for Kansas City - y'all get to host the AFC Title match after all! Bad news, you might have to start Chad Henne. Good luck finding

Oh my cats, did we ever see some shit, y'all. Credit to sharky for finding this perfect banner pic, to summarize Saturday night. Can't complain about 5-for-5 entertaining games this opening weekend. Hopefully, that ball keeps on rolling. We opened Sunday with Brokeback's Bills, seemingly ready to skullfuck the LOLfins' practice squad.

My 900th Post

ballsofsteelandfury - January 9, 2023January 8, 2023

I can't believe I've actually made it to 900! That's something Houston cannot say. I've thought long and hard about what to put into this post and I've decided I've got nothing. I thought about doing a post talking about the past and my favourite posts but I'm not really

Macro level, this has been a very entertaining season. Hard to predict, which is good for the soul, taking our minds away from the crushing drudgery of everyday life. Special shout out to the Jaguras and Tits, who fought their asses off Saturday night. This Surly Duff is for y'all. Speaking of

Far be it from me to curse things while not every NYE hangover is yet even lifted...what am I saying, that is EXACTLY on brand for me. Everything is totally fucking fucked. Eat a dick, 2023. We won't speak any details of the Black Panthers cowardly surrender to The Man. Conduct

Instant Hippo Boxing Day Thoughts – Week 16, 2022 Season/EPL Resumes

King Hippo - December 26, 2022December 25, 2022

Holy cats, this sportsball 3-day weekend is fucking beautiful, ain't it? I watched all of yesterday's NFL trifecta, despite...not really liking any outcomes. Because my fantasy team may be leaving oil like a motherfucker...but 2nd place pays out pretty good. Maybe I would use the funds to make it to DFOcon
