Ever since the Coronavirus unleashed its plan to colonize our bodies with weapons-grade cooties, the world had been denied the joys of attending live sporting events. Contrarianism, a lack of respect for expertise, and an absence of basic empathy have concocted a heady brew that continues to make attending sports

Boots on the Ground: My Really Big Caucus Day
Hello all. Sebastian Blax here. As many of you may have heard, since my previous Boots on the Ground published piece, "I Just Don't Have a Parole Officer -- A BOTG Experience", I have uprooted from the deserts of Phoenix and moved to the deserts of Las Vegas. Unrelated, you
Boots On The Ground: Friday Night Smackdown
Despite my recent absence from the site, life goes on. And one of the things that was on my agenda despite all the horribleness was having tickets to the Valentine's Day taping of "Friday Night Smackdown". The date itself wasn't a problem for WineWife. She hates Valentine's Day, and any attempt
Commentist Beer Barrel: Boots on the Ground – Burgeon Third Anniversary Invitational
This is a bit of a departure from your usual DFO Hate Week musings, as I wanted to bring you a brief interlude of something good. There are few things better than local independent craft beer, at least, in my mind, and the day before the Conference Championship series, I
Boots On The Ground – Tundra Hunting At Lambeau Field
(This has been ready for a while, but I saved it for a slow #content day, because why step on others' good writing.) It’s no secret I enjoy attending sporting events. After all - I sell beer at baseball games. At least five times per year I drive down to Seattle
Boots On The Ground: What I Did On My Summer Vacation
(I realize this is terribly late, but I promised myself I would post this before I wrote about my recent trip.) As one of DFO's regular vagabonds, I write about some of my personal adventures. I like to think that it helps people think about planning their own vacations around what

One of the ongoing features that we here at [DFO] will periodically share is our "Boots On The Ground" series. When one of our gifted and talented and no doubt drunk writers journeys to places of note, we like to regale the readers here with photos, tales and remembrances of
Request Line: Boots on the Ground
INT. RECORDING STUDIO - DAY A disappointed-looking PRODUCER is seated in front of the console, talking on the phone. PRODUCER: ...and of course I'm not a doctor Mr. Brown but I really don't think more cryotherapy is the answer. ANTONIO BROWN: [inaudible] PRODUCER: [sighs] Well, yes, your football career really must come first. I guess
Boots On The Ground – The Jeopardy! Edition
There's this guy named James Holzhauer who has recently dominated one of the most beloved shows ever to appear on America's airwaves. (To clarify, for once I am not referring to Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.) He's won over a million dollars in just a few weeks and now holds
Boots On The Ground: A Christmas In New York
I went away on vacation this Christmas, and abandoned the site for a couple of weeks. In exchange for that kindness, I promised I would write up a post about said experience. I've been saving it for a day bereft of content. Save for Low Commander's excellent post on his
Commentist Beer Barrel: Boots On The Ground – Horus HOOTennany
It has been about 6 months since the last time I attended a Beer Festival of some kind. That's probably a good thing, since I really don't need to shouldn't put my body through that very often. Back in December, this Festival was brought to my attention, and based on the
Boots On The Ground: The AVN Awards Show
I've mentioned this before and this is probably not surprising to many of you, but yes, I, BallsofSteelAndFury, have attended the AVN Awards Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. For someone NOT in the industry, it is as surreal as you may think. I've wanted to tell this story for a long time,
