Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Pretty In Pink

Sharkbait - November 15, 2024November 15, 202471

Hello and happy Friday yet again. The theme of this week is 'simplicity'. Mainly because it was a short week and somehow time got away from me. It's a good thing that I keep a running list of recipes I come across that are easy, either in one of my

DFOing Good

Mine is headed to relegation as was foretold by me at the start of the season. I've had a remarkably bad run over the last four years but I still have fun. For now. Minutiae: -Jon Gruden has been really quiet these days which is not like him at all. Well that's

CFL Beat: Playoffs – Grey Cup

The Maestro - November 14, 2024November 14, 202452

It's the final weekend of CFL action. I'll miss Canadian football greatly when it's done, of course - but I have so much to do between now and May 2025 that I feel like I'm barely going to have time to catch my breath. At least my report cards were

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Throwback Sports I Found on YouTube Edition!

Senor Weaselo - November 13, 2024November 13, 202436

Which is to say… did you know SlamBall's on YouTube now? I remember watching it on Spike. Also, I remember Spike, and I'm allowed to go down a rambling memory hole because it's my birthday. (It's also resident sandwich artist The Maestro's birthday!) No, I am not about to do

“What’s old is new, and then is crud, again” – The Seahawks After Their Bye

Beerguyrob - November 13, 2024November 12, 202428

Oh lord - where to begin? When the season started, I had a cautious optimism going in. If you read my award-adjacent preview, you knew that I was excited for the season to get going, even if I was reserved about their chances for actual, on-field success. They had a soft series

Hey. Last week's post was something else, huh? What's that? Oh. Oh, no. Welp. It's time for the (now) weekly DFO Fantasy Football Leagues recap. Week 10 is done and dusted. First up, Freezer Vodka League. So, what's changed since our last time together? To the standings! Well well well, would you look at that? Stoma

Bay Area Body Bags: 2024 San Francisco 49ers Bye Week (and Open Thread)

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem - November 12, 2024November 12, 202472

AUTHORS NOTE: You may be wondering why I am writing the Niners Bye Week Update a week after their bye. The simple answer is that America had Kind of A Lot Going On Right Now last week, and the ups and downs of the Santa Clara Failsons just didn't register

Subsequent GTD reflections

Game Time Decision - November 12, 2024November 11, 202455

We're going to do things a bit differently today as one of ours has lost their partner. No words can can adequately express a loss or help in the time of mourning, so just know that we are here for whatever you need Gumbygirl. Rest in peace Gumby.

Your Monday Night NFL Football Open Thread

scotchnaut - November 11, 2024November 11, 2024203

There sure were a bunch of games yesterday, weren't there? (look, I've got close to nothing) Let's check a few things out. Fallout: -Going into the bye week the Giants have the second pick in next year's draft. WOO! The only thing to be concerned about at this point is when to

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 10, 2024 Season

King Hippo - November 11, 2024November 10, 2024119

Hippo is of two minds. There is nothing left in our world worth fighting for. Small-l liberal democracy is dead andburied, or at least with extreme gangrene that can't even start clearing up for 20+ years. Either way, I won't live to see anything improve. But this is our last football

scotchnaut - November 10, 2024November 10, 2024145

Another long day in the books and more than likely two more losses in fantasy. It's been great. To The Game! Lions/Texans: -Detroit looks like they can beat anyone, including this up-and-coming squad full of young talent. -You knew Stroud couldn't possibly play as well as he did last year but the regression hasn't been

Three games on tap and nary an interesting fixture in sight. To The Games! Titans/Chargers: LA is starting to assert themselves at the same time the leash on Herbert is coming off. The prime beneficiary is the young lad Ladd McConkey who didn't waste much time asserting himself as the go-to wr in
