Welcome to Thursday evening. As almost always, it precedes Friday and thus should be celebrated. What Do Words Mean Anyway?: Dan Campbell was asked if this year was Superb Owl or bust. His reply was, "I don't see bust, I see Super Bowl. I don't know what bust is". The Lions at +1100

Senor Weaselo - May 22, 2024May 22, 2024158

My work for the semester ended last week, and I'm waiting on any potential summer assignments, so it's a bit of waiting game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JVNMmsN3Co So yeah, it's a little bit more boredom than usual this week.

In Which Rev Pays For His Hubris: Tuesday Open Thread

Open Threads

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem - May 21, 2024May 21, 202466

"Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall." Proverbs 16:18 (KJV) For someone with such deep-seated self-loathing, I can be surprisingly arrogant. It's a puzzle. In my brash youth of, uh, a month ago, I made a sincere but reckless pronouncement regarding the sixth pick of the NFL Draft: "I will

Monday Morning Mock Draft: So, How’s Your Hangover?

DFOing Good

Horatio Cornblower - May 20, 2024May 20, 2024144

As you may know, I went to a beer festival yesterday afternoon. In what is absolutely not a coincidence, the mock draft is four hours late today. This is not, however, because I am hungover, but rather because I took today off from work and my internal clock therefore didn't

Sunday Gravy with yeah right: Keema? Aloo. Aloo? Keema.

yeah right - May 19, 2024May 18, 2024216

Good Sunday morning everyone! We've reached Mid-May, the NFL schedule release has happened and we have entered the doldrums of the offseason.
