Apologies in advance- religious discussion incoming. Please feel free to skip. It represents the fairly heretical views of the author only, and not particularly intelligent views at that. If you find this offensive for any reason, please take comfort in the following: 1. I am not intending to offend. That's way

2025 Quotables – Week 4 (Submissions)

blaxabbath - September 30, 2025September 29, 202549

As you all read this, I will be on an airplane to Mexico. They are, after all, our greatest enemy/trade partner. I'm not interested in sharing much about me lately and, for the rest of you, I feel kind of bad for completely blowing off the Colts preview just for

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:The truth you seek

A Monday Night Doubleheader!: So Much Manna

scotchnaut - September 29, 2025254

I don't understand the reasoning why we're blessed in this fashion but I'll take it. By the by, we don't get one next week but have some more staggered action in weeks 6 and 7 AND THEN...no more the rest of the way. Where's the logic? Fallout: -He played, hoping his toe

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 4, 2025 Season

Reflections

King Hippo - September 29, 2025September 28, 202574

Be thee warned in advance, I started a round of prednizone Sunday morning, so I am grumpy as fuck. Also...gesticulates at Wolven Sort. This will be less than half-arsed. We mandatorily got up and watched a shitshow from Ireland, Yinzburgh beating SKOL 24-21 (score deceptively close thanks to ample garbage time

Round The Last: Wiping The Smirk Off Jerrah’s Face Edition

scotchnaut - September 28, 2025September 28, 2025218

Only three more hours to go. I'm tired. I'm not the wet behind the ears, naive late 40's man I used to be. To The Game! Packers/Cowboys: Is Shaudenfavre a word? It is now. Micah "Missing From Dallas" Parsons played mental hopscotch with Jones and won his freedom and a big, fat contract.

Round The Third: Onwards!

scotchnaut - September 28, 2025September 28, 2025112

Not a bad selection of fixtures but Patty and Lamar is the runaway feature. To The Games! Colts/Rams: I like this game-both teams need to prove to onlookers that they're for real. If Indy wins Dimes has the inside track on Comeback Player of the Year and outside track for MVP. That's right,

Round The Second: The Usual Slate

scotchnaut - September 28, 2025September 28, 2025172

Off we go. To The Games! Chargers/Giants: Dart Start Day in New Jersey! Calloo Callay! Jaxon will see things (coverages and blitz packages) he's never seen before and I hope one of them is not ghosts. At 3-0 the Chargers look formidable but aren't a juggernaut just yet. The Giants will help them

Round The First: Your Dublin NFL Experience

scotchnaut - September 28, 2025193

As Hippo always reminds us, this here tilt is MANDATORY and full credit to those sleepy, weepy West Coasters for participating. My alcoholic beverage of choice is some salted caramel espresso that weighs in at 7% ABV. Tasty. What do we know of Dublin? The name can be translated as "Black

Pop your TV-watching viagra, because the hits just keep on coming! Bear Down FOAR Midterms (+6.5) at Cornpone State (7:00, ESPN) Iowa State really doesn't have the explosive offense to really pull away, most weeks. Maybe the Fightin' Blax will stand their ground? Oregon (+3.5) at Paedo State (7:30, NBC) Ugh, Darkest Timeline. I
