Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: MOAR Olympics

Sharkbait - August 9, 2024August 9, 202452

Happy Olympics Friday! I know I've mentioned it in the comments before, but I'm a huge Olympics junkie. Not just for the sporting aspect, although that is a huge part. I do come by my Olympics obsession honestly. My father used to work for NBC sports, so when I was

Your Unstaggered Preseason NFL Games Open Thread

scotchnaut - August 8, 2024August 8, 2024129

Nobody wants to watch both of these games in their entirety but that's not the point. The point is that any time I can take a shot at the ad wizards that run scheduling, I will do so. To The Games! Panteros/Pats: -this in theory would be sorta interesting to watch mid-way thru

Dealing With Tax Issues In A Mature, Adult Fashion

SonOfSpam - August 8, 2024August 7, 202430

If I could impart just one piece of advice to today's youth, it would be to make sure you're born into a stupid amount of money. This will be difficult to achieve if you've reached the age of birth or later, but it's totally worth whatever effort you may have

CFL Beat: Week 10

The Maestro - August 8, 2024August 6, 202430

Week one of vacation has been lovely as always. With the beautiful red sands of PEI so warm and friendly, we’ve made our way to beautiful Halifax to see family and buy hundreds of dollars worth of bulk liquor to get the wedding bar prepared. Sharkbait, I also have a

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: News, Notes, and Newsy Notes, Olympic Edition

Senor Weaselo - August 7, 2024August 7, 202457

Senor Weaselo, this title sucks, is everything fine? Yes, except, again, the FF name guide just needs to be out before the end of the month. Today's the 7th, the DFO leagues (both?) draft(s?)—okay, at least the freezer vodka league draft is in three weeks, so I got time. (If

Poles: Tuesday Open Thread

Open Threads

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem - August 6, 2024August 6, 2024115

That's right, today we celebrate poles of all persuasions: beanpoles, foulpoles, magnetic poles, fishing poles, Warsaw Poles and even (shockingly) Ryan Poles. But not William de la Pole, you dumb late-medieval bastard. -First, the most surprising one: Ryan Poles. Rating a team's off-season during training camp is only slightly stupider than

Subsequent GTD reflections

Game Time Decision - August 6, 2024August 5, 202499

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:As life runs on,

First off, only 2 more nights till Thursday Night Football (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) and soon we will be on to Monday Night Game Threads. Actually excited for the start of the season for some reason, maybe taking part in fantasy football is helping me regain interest, even if

Monday Morning Mock Draft: Jesus, What A Disaster

DFOing Good

Horatio Cornblower - August 5, 2024August 4, 2024187

Good Monday morning, drones. This weekend we had to go away for a funeral. The funeral itself was fine, as were the after...parties(?), no, that can't be right, given the circumstances. Let's go with "functions." Those were all good. Lots of chatter, good memories of the deceased, solid food and

Media Whoring ‘Fessing Up: Sunday Preseason Thread

Reflections

Don T - August 4, 2024August 4, 202437

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

yeah right - August 4, 2024August 3, 2024137

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,
