November 2024 Spawned – Weak Footy Slate

King Hippo - November 2, 2024November 1, 2024190

THREE SHORT DAYS before the possible self-implosion of American society as we know/love/tolerate it. And we can't even get a full, distracting slate of fixtures. OK, Barcodes and Gooners to start (8:30, USA) ain't too bad. But then USA shows...Sham Town and Everton?? (11:00). Even HIPPO won't enjoy watching that car

Sharkbait - November 1, 2024November 1, 202447

"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

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

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

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
