Before we start I want to take a moment to be very serious. Today is the first anniversary of the first COVID-19 casualty in the U.S. Over 500,000 souls in this country have been lost since. That just makes me want to fucking cry. Again. I found this out a few days after writing

Good morning everyone! Hope everyone is well and good and all. There was an informal poll in the DFO clubhouse the other day about vaccines and a surprising number of our crew have been vaccinated. Good for them! My state is STILL vaccinating healthcare workers and those over 65. Don't get me wrong, I'm

Well, well, well Gravy Heads! Welcome back! I trust everyone is doing well and hopefully remaining virus free. It's been a little while since we got together here and lord knows plenty of shit can go down in that type of timeframe. Me? Absolutely COVID fucking free. Do I still wear a mask? Nope. I WEAR

This is going to be very succint. Eh, it is what it is. Let me first congratulate my translator, and the rest of the Bills Mafia on their AFC championship. [WOOOOOOO...wait, wait, wait] Nobody can say y'all didn't earn it, even though your bye week is coming awfully late. You see, #ThePauls [Browns]

I hope all y'all are well, and staying sane-ish. [Why give up on madness now, when it's brought me this far?] Saturday gave us the two fixtures that I cared most to watch. As usual, the NFL playoffs did a great job of confounding pre-kickoff expectations. I had zero faith in

Hey, y'all. Who out there is depressed as fuck, knowing that our FITBAW heroine tapers off now, week by week, until it becomes an agonizing, 7-8 month wait? I sure know I am feeling it. [Closed captioning...ah fuck, you know the deal by now. Reverend Mayhem is responsible for the drivel

There were three fixtures played yesterday. Well, two fixtures and a woodchipper feeding. [Closed Captioning for the Hard of Hippo provided by the Church of the Immaculate Deception, Rev. E.

What a week, if one likes entropy. And since you're here, you most certainly do! But first, a tip of the cap for the players, staff, and behind-the-scenes personnel who enabled all 32 teams to play all 16 fixtures. This was predicted in these pages, but remember that I do tend

When I started writing this, it was in the wee hours of Christmas Eve Eve, when the nerdy kids are checking NORAD's Santa Tracker, the kids that bully those kids are starting to sweat a little, and I'm enough cocktails in that I've just started throwing some new combinations together

Welcome to a pretty bleak Week 15 recap. I guess the fraudulent Irish (but National Fanbase!!1111) making the JV playoffs wasn't quite enough to serve The Narrative. Yes, that's right. Atlanta had MRSA Dreamboat dead to rights (17-0, 24-7) yet again, and decided to take the 2nd half off. Announcers and
