Sharkbait - September 27, 2024September 27, 202451

Hello Fall. It seemed like a switch flipped and the temperature dropped to mid 60s during the days in the last week or so. We haven't done the stereotypical Fall in New England apple picking activity (yet), but some friends of ours did, and they came over for a football

CFL Beat: Week 17

The Maestro - September 26, 2024September 25, 202419

With five weeks to go in the regular season, there's much to be decided in the playoff picture still. Ottawa and Winnipeg both have a chance to clinch a spot this week, but after that, there's still lots of intrigue still - especially in the chaotic West Division. I look

Hello there fellow DFO'er. Hope you're well today. And thanks for coming back to see last weeks tl;dr of last week as decided by my brain. There's no reason as to why some comments make it and others don't. Seriously. There isn't. This weeks cheesy motivational quote is:Your memory is a

Well lookee here, a staggered slate for us to enjoy! And after that 5 game late window yesterday. Is the NFL finally treating its fans with the respect and dignity they deserve? (well, some fans) Probably not. I heard a wag complaining that it wasn't a doubleheader but this old

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

One for the road? Let's do it! To The Game! Chiefs/Falcons: -As predicted by many, Xavier Worthy came crashing down last week and had a very limited impact. He still got his measly three touches and amassed all of 22 yards. -Mahomes is doing his usual thing and taking what the D is giving

I'm sure this was some error by the sked makers that was somehow overlooked by the powers that be but it's too late and now we have choices. We can never go back! [looks at Week 7's late slate of three games] I guess we're going back eventually. To The Games! Panthers/Raiders: Ok,
