Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: With Bated Breath…

Senor Weaselo - June 19, 2024June 19, 202438

Definitely not that bated, heads out of the gutter. South American (and also Canada, Mexico, Jamaica, Costa Rica, Panama and the U.S.) Euros start tomorrow night, for nightcap footy! Honestly, if they did a full Americas tourney, I'd figure make it 32 teams, not 16. Wait, there are only 10 teams

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:Naïveté in grown ups

Beerguyrob - June 18, 2024June 15, 202423

Georgia, home of Wisdom, Justice, and Moderation. Oh… err… umm…I mean “Georgia - where ‘Strength is in Unity’.” Needs more Pips. Hi everyone, it's me again. I thought I'd do the preview/Open Thread combo once more. I'm not here as frequently due to work, so I should help out where I can. SO, WHAT ARE

Evening, fine night if you like living in tropical weather. Gonna get hot here in the south, but unlike Arizona, we will have very high humidity. I do not like tropical weather, it sucks as I always prefer to be too cold over too hot, I can do more about

Horatio Cornblower - June 17, 2024June 16, 2024131

(this fucking guy shouldn't even be an undrafted free agent) This week we're drafting coaches. I got the idea while watching the Red Sox steal 9(!) bases on the Yankees while Aaron Boone did nothing about it, other than keep pulling receivers out of his overworked bullpen and seeming surprised when

Good morning again everyone. Happy Father's Day to all of us dads here and in the audience and on all of the ships at sea. We usually have some sort of to-do at the right house on Father's day weekend, because about half of my entire family was born in the middle

Good morning, everyone. It's your old pal Beerguy here, dropping in for a little bit to help out with some preview coverage in advance of the first second third Open Thread of the 2024 Euros. In previous years when I've written about the Euros I've covered countries like Russia (failed to

King Hippo - June 15, 2024June 14, 202497

As y'all know, Hippo procarstinates. So, I waited until I turned the TV on for Krauts v. Kilts, before checking channel listings for today's thread. All I had read to date was that Fox was covering both summer Euros, so I assumed Fox or FS1. Fine. The panel coverage would

Mr. Ayo - June 14, 2024June 13, 2024115

TGIF! Hope everyone is enjoying sweeps week on the ice and hardwood. But this is actually a great outcome because we can now focus on the Euros and Copa America for some titillating 0-0, or even more exciting 1-1 ties. I kid, i kid. That won't happen until the knockout
