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

ballsofsteelandfury - August 3, 2024August 3, 202456

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

Half-Rear-Ended Fantasy FITBAW Roundtable

King Hippo - August 3, 2024August 3, 2024106

As DonT wisely noted, we are really in the FITBAW pre-season now. As such, why not throw some fantasy ideas onto the Clubhouse wall, see what sticks? I mean, it's probably a pretty worthless endeavoUr, but hey. At least we serve it up fairly priced. Who is your "value" QB target(s)? King

Mr. Ayo - August 2, 2024August 2, 202495

TGIF! What a doozy of a weekend it is here: Seafair! You've got boats, you've got the Blue Angels, you've got hydroplane boat races, you've got water, and you've got a sunburn! I'll enjoy watching it on TV. Survival - Personal Edition For all you parents out there, let's go over the

INT. TEENAGER'S BEDROOM - DAY HUNTER RENFROW is seated in front of his gaming station, playing Grip: Combat Racing. The lights in the room are out and he's wearing headphones - he could not be more fully immersed in the game without being inside his double-sided, powered-up speedster. Suddenly... DISEMBODIED VOICE: HUNTER.... HUNTER RENFROW

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: I Should Have Had Something For This

Sharkbait - August 2, 2024August 1, 202434

Welcome to Friday! Like our illustrious man from the Monday Drafts, I took have escaped to Maine for a few days away. Now, this trip has been planned for weeks. Did I have anything planned in advance for this week? Of course not. Am I writing this in the hotel

Before The Deluge: Your Pre-Season Thursday Night Football Open Thread

scotchnaut - August 1, 2024August 1, 2024136

Yes, the Deluge. Is it a reference to Jackson Browne or was I riffing on a song/poem by Arthur Rimbaud who was probably referencing something (the Flood?) in the Bible? Come for the dickjokery, stay for some oblique crap. But yes, I was thinking that we get a wee taste

CFL Beat: Week 9

The Maestro - August 1, 2024July 29, 2024104

I'm leaving in just a few days for the East Coast for a whole month of vacation. I sure hope I'll be able to keep sneaking away for football watching - but that time difference, especially for watching those West Coast games, is killer - that 11 PM start time

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Hey, My Cable Sign-In Works!

Senor Weaselo - July 31, 2024July 31, 202479

So I can watch some team handball—Denmark vs. Argentina. Listen, Senorita Weaselo can watch all the swimming and gymnastics on the big-boy channel, but I remember what we played in gym class and I played a solid goalkeeper. (Denmark leads at the half.) I'd have more stuff, but the fantasy football

By the time you read this, the 2024 MLB Trade Deadline will have come and gone. Despite writing this ahead of time, I will use my prophetic powers to make the following predictions: A bunch of guys with ugly-ass chin hair will be traded. At least one of those guys

Game Time Decision - July 30, 2024July 29, 2024101

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,

Mo nday Night Open Thread – Home Again, Home Again, Jiggety Jig

ArmedandHammered - July 29, 2024July 29, 2024121

Evening. This will be short, ugly, and unfulfilling much like my first wedding night. Back home, rabbits are alive and were well cared for by the sitters, still have some sort of respiratory infection that the tests insist is not nuAIDs (and yes, I did wear a mask while in
