Game Time Decision - April 16, 2024April 15, 202426

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:There is no footprint

Hey, if you had April 15th in your "what Monday will be the first that Horatio forgets to post a mock draft" come on down and collect your winnings. I have no good excuse, I just straight up forgot. So rather than rush one of the good ideas that other people have

There is nothing that can make me leave this house ever again, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! “What? Who’s coming to town”? “Laurie Anderson?” “No way! Here?" “Orpheum Theater downtown Los Angeles.” DAMN FINE SHOT “I haven’t been outside this house in five years but just that name alone changes all thought processes. A chance to see God, live

In these Off-season Open Threads, I'll sum up the week that was, provide you with TMI-style information, and throw some random spaghetti at the wall and see if it sticks. Since the NCAA tourney has wrapped up, we can now go to my random musings and TMI. *** If you remember the last

Mr. Ayo - April 12, 2024April 12, 2024163

TGIF! The come down from March Madness is terrible. For a very small few of us, our methadone is azaleas in full bloom, pine straw, fake bird noises, small creeks, and yellow pin flags. For the rest of you? Well, it's the weekend to go do whatever you want. Survival -

Thankfully Friday is upon us once again. This has been the longest short week (for me at least). The family came back from a trip to northern Vermont to be in the path of totality for the eclipse, which was awesome and well worth it. However a long weekend with

Let's do some brain drippings shall we? Packers/Eagles/Brazil: Any suggestions as to who should be tortured to death at the end of the game due to a spelling error? The Friday night tilt means that we'll have 7(?) featured games (Thursday, Friday, three on Sunday and Monday doubleheader(?)) the first weekend. I
