And there's your host, Aaron Rodgers. After the game he'll be screening one of his favorite scary movies, The Cabinet of Dr. Fauci! Let's keep this moving... Minutiae: -There's lots of trade rumors flying as is the way with the social media environs we wallow in now. So what's with Diontae Johnson

Last Stop at Hamlin

"Look, it's the question you're always going to ask. But that's your focus; not mine. I don't have fear. Fear stifles our thinking and actions. It creates indecisiveness that results in stagnation. I have known talented people who procrastinate indefinitely rather than risk failure. Lost opportunities cause erosion of confidence

CFL Beat: Playoffs – Division Semifinals

The Maestro - October 31, 2024October 30, 20248

We made it! The playoffs are here! It's one of my favourite times of year for football; one of the only things that I don't like about the tweaks to the new CFL playoff scheduling, which was re-introduced last year, is that I can't keep dual-screening NFL RedZone and the

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Anyone got Halloween plans?

Senor Weaselo - October 30, 2024October 30, 2024187

Thus far, not a soul has come to Apartment Weaselo, possibly because it's the 18th floor, so it'll be a quiet night. Well, after my gig. Which is not a Halloween gig to my knowledge. But it would be awesome if it was. Now that I'm officially Professor Weaselo, I'd want

tWBS Fantasy Football Leagues Update (Week 8)

LemonJello - October 30, 2024October 29, 202446

Hey. Oh, you're going to come at me with "I thought we changed the locks." and "Can't you take a hint?" Hurtful. It's time for the (now) weekly DFO Fantasy Football Leagues recap. Week 8 is in the books. What do the standings look like now? First up, Freezer Vodka League: There's a four-way tie atop

Draaaaank: Tuesday Open Thread

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem - October 29, 2024October 29, 202479

I enjoy a good cocktail. I enjoy a good red wine. I really enjoy a good beer. But these are times that call for the strongest of Strong Drink. Whether you are a Yankees fan staring down an ignominious sweep at home, a Jets or Giants fan needing something to get

Subsequent GTD reflections

Game Time Decision - October 29, 2024October 28, 202441

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:It is in your

We're back! This here is your one-stop shop for scatter-brained observations-in the post and in the comments! That's how we give back to the internet community. It's here-The Teams Heading In Opposite Directions Bowl. One team has a has-been at qb, the other a never-was. I guess the challenge for these teams

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 8, 2024 Season

Reflections

King Hippo - October 28, 2024October 27, 202470

Welcome to Week 8 action, no byes. Don't forget to buy Halloween candy, then buy MOAR when you eat the first batch. You disgusting, fat pig. Cincy went with the "White Tiger" kit this week, and the vast majority of the home support decided to join in. Depending on one's perspective, it

Short And Sweet-A Cowboys/Niners Game Intro

scotchnaut - October 27, 2024October 27, 2024121

I have some morning duties that for once I can't evade so this is a quickie. To The Game! Cowboys/Niners: -Jerry is such a laughing stock-earlier in the week he claimed that King Henry didn't fit the Cowboys "scheme". And yet Zeke does and we can see how that's working out. -Dak will eventually

Your Five Game NFL Slate Afternoon Open Thread

scotchnaut - October 27, 2024October 27, 2024221

To The Games! Saints/Chargers: Olave is back but the presence of Rattler puts a hard ceiling on his ability to produce. LA seems ok at 3-3 but there are cracks showing-they've been outscored 55-34 in the second half and have yet to score a TD in the 4th quarter in five straight

It’s Week Eight! Your NFL Football Open Thread

scotchnaut - October 27, 2024221

We're almost at the halfway point of the season and the byes are kicking in... What's that? There are no teams on bye this week? How is that? Ah, these scheduling intricacies are beyond my comprehension. To The Games! Jets/Pats: Guh. We're not off to a great start here. These teams are a
