Oh my. My, my, my. Every game can't be a Van Gogh, but we will always have Lake Effect Bearsenschiesse (h/t LemonJello). Because our DUUUUUVVVVAAALLLL imaginary pal very much sent the best prayer ever into the universe, asking how they could produce the most Bearsenschiesse ending to their near-comeback (which followed their

Instant Hippo Thoughts – “Lucky” Week 13, 2023 Season
December is here, the temperature is 75F inside the HippoLair. Almost had to put the a/c on, but I worried my dead father would haunt me. When Grumblelord goes into the Hall of Fame, the 3 December 2023 Clippers/P*ts game needs to replay in full. 24/7 on NFL Network. Yes, there
An Ant Has No Quarrel With A Boot: 2023 Buffalo Bills at the Bye (and Open Thread)
MAYHEM'S 2023 PREDICTION: "12-5, tied for AFC East crown. As always, the injury factor will be dispositive, but we have reason for Hope." HOW'S THAT LOOKING?: I mean, I was right. Injuries have decimated the Bills. Pro Bowl cornerback Tre'Davious White? Pro Bowler Matt Milano? Pro Bowler Dawson Knox? All of the Safeties (except
Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 10, 2023 Season
Yes, I am angrily pilled to the gills. Let's see how much Hippo can remember about these past 14 hours! Oh dear God, did The Shield EVAR test Germany's schiesse porn limits. P*ts opened with a long drive and FG, Humps responded with an even longer TD drive. Then...nothing. A whole
Subsequent GTD reflections
Hello there fellow DFO'er. Hope you're well today. And thanks for coming back to see last weeks comments of the 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: We all die. The
Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 5, 2023 Season
What a time to be alive, eh? Some things happened yesterday, and here is what I discrened about a subset of said things. We get a near-perfect lineup, in terms of spacing. 1-6-4-1, with each "1" being intriguing enough to serve as a stand-alone option. But with the NFL, every matchup/window
Bonus Thursday Night Hippo FITBAW Coverage
Bearistocrats! (+6) at Commies (8:15, Amazon Prime) What a country. Our FITBAW fix served up to us by....our home delivery overlords. The feed was shitty last week, at least for me. Or the last time I watched? I may have over-napped last week. Anyway, I have a random feeling that Chi**** wins
No Exit: Your 2023 New England Patriots Season Preview
SCENE: A locker room in retro Foxboro Stadium style. A massive, oversized, but dinged up Lombardi Trophy stands alone in a dusty display case. ROBERT KRAFT [enters, accompanied by the LOCKER ROOM ATTENDANT, and glances around him]: Hm! So here we are? LOCKER ROOM ATTENDANT: Yes, Mr. Kraft. KRAFT: And this is what
Oops, I can’t stop reading manga
The first manga I ever read was Fruits Basket, a romance anime about a homeless girl who moves in with a bunch of boys that turn into animals whenever she hugs them. It's more saccharine than it sounds, but as a high schooler I was into that kind of stuff.
Your AFL Beat and Thursday Night Open Thread
I know what you're thinking, but no, the AFL coverage will not end until you all are bought in on Aussie Footy or I die. Or I get lazy. Whichever comes first. This past week my GWS Giants showed they've still got fight left in this rebuilding season, Port throttled Western,
Monday Morning Mock Draft: Sue Me, I Like Baseball
I watched a lot of baseball this weekend. The College World Series was good, mostly because Virginia wiped the floor with Duke. I think that means they advance to Omaha for a 4-team final play-off, but I'm not really sure. I also watched some professional games. Turns out Bryce Harper is
Boozles! Tuesday Open Thread
Well shit. We've hit The Doldrums of summer sports early this year. We are in extremis, and our only choice is to eat the men. "But wait, we're in the middle of the playoffs for hockey and basketball!" I hear you bleat, like the pitiful sheeple you are. Yes, technically there are a
