INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY All the lights are…actually, most of the lights are out. A single spotlight is pointed at a disco ball on the ceiling, the reflections from which faintly illuminate DJ 3000′ as it boots up… …to a studio that has remained empty during the entire NFL season. As we watch,

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Taking a gamble

Sharkbait - February 20, 2026February 20, 202639

So it's school vacation this week, so House Sharkbait has been busier than usual with both kids around full time. Thankfully I was able to take a couple days off from work and we decided to head down to the Cape for a longer weekend while the kids were off. While

How 'bout them Olympics! As always, hockey delivered, bringing you four OT games over two days. Were I a betting monkey I'd put a couple of bananas on the Finns tomorrow. They're very solid defensively, are fantastic on the counterattack and have great depth. I was hoping they'd play the

Greetings! The Olympics are winding down, which means the next few days are going to be jam-packed with gold, silver, and bronze medals being handed out to humanity's finest physical specimens like cannolis at an Italian deli (and apparently with approximately the same structural integrity).

It’s 10:30, I just polished off a raspberry spandauer (which is good) and chai (which is mid at best) from Ole & Steen, and it’s the day where I’m at the school until 12, and then I’ve got some business uptown (more on that later?) so let’s Carpenter this out!

The Denouement We sat in the exact same chairs except Mark was now seated at the other head of the table. I had prepped Destiny on what was going to happen, so she didn’t make any wrong moves. The only ones not in on the scheme were Eve and Bob. Eve was being

Thank god the football season is over, so I can get back to enjoying football. Yes, we are finally past What is Happening and into What Will Happen Next, an altogether more hopeful phase for the vast majority of fans. Free agency, the draft, the potential for your miserable owner to

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. Totes mailing it in today, as it's a holiday

Can the NFLPA be more pathetic? They lost their case regarding the report cards of the teams their members belong to. The reason cited by the arbitrator was that they didn't apply rigorous methadology and "cherry-picked" various comments here and there. There were a number of positive comments as well
