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

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

Perhaps I’ve had occasion to express to you that I am a fan of the NFL. And I can no longer bear the weight of my secret perfidy because you certainly deserve better. So here goes: throughout the DFO Era, which will start its TENTH fitbaw season in a coupla

Sunday Gravy with yeah right: It’s OK to Play with your Food

Good morning everyone! We've got Olympic things going AND preseason football. All good things.  I watched the first 2 series of the Hall of Fame Game and it held my interest for the first two series. I was intrigued by the new kickoff alignments. Something to keep an eye on for sure. Honestly,

Saturday Night Off-season Open Thread 23: Keep watching the Olympics!

I don't know about y'all, but I'm enjoying the SHIT out of these Olympics. My strategy has been to watch the replays on Peacock for particular sports and to watch the surfing live. All sports and no fluff with really minimal commercials. The only thing I've missed was Colin Jost
