ballsofsteelandfury - March 9, 2024March 9, 2024119

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. This week, I had a VERY interesting work week. At different points in the week there were 1) police, 2) investigators,

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Bushwick, Not Bushwood

Sharkbait - March 8, 2024March 8, 202412

Happy Friday! I'm especially happy for it to finally be the end of the week. Sharkbait 2.0 hasn't been sleeping well lately, which leads to a lot of interrupted sleep. Coupled with remote training for work starting at 7am every day this week has made for one long slog of

That Scattered Thursday Night Open Thread

scotchnaut - March 7, 2024152

It's all the news that's fit to, uh, stick in your craw, I guess. The Big Turk: I wanted to throw an over-sized pic of that chocolate bar as the banner image but I figured some folks might get triggered. I remember way back when reading a story by that title

A Football Story For The Galaxy

Senor Weaselo - March 6, 2024March 6, 2024107

Which is to say, I left the lappy home to go to work today, because I also need to practice and then go to my gig. Five gigs and a rehearsal in six days, woo! The important news is of course all the franchising and not-franchising. Like if you’re a RB,

People are self-interested and never perfect: that’s as ironclad as human rules get. But I, a corny Old, also believe that sincere intentions are the best lubricant for human interactions, that understanding and generosity are high virtues, and that truth exists—“Truth” being something definite, beyond subjectivity and interpretation (like NFL

Tag It and Bag It: Tuesday Open Thread

Open Threads

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem - March 5, 2024March 5, 202456

It's Tagging Tuesday, where NFL teams express their appreciation for a player by denying him the right to negotiate a market-appropriate salary! As of this writing, nine players have had a tag placed on them. Eight have received the dreaded Franchise Tag, giving their current team near-total control over their fate

Subsequent GTD reflections

Game Time Decision - March 5, 2024March 4, 202452

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:Death ends a life,

Balls metaphorically shoots Franz Ferdinand

ballsofsteelandfury - March 5, 2024March 3, 202437

I write this fully knowing the consequences. I apologize in advance for the blood about to be shed. However, I've held my tongue long enough. I'm only doing this for the good of society. Here goes: Girl Scout Cookies are tasteless saturated fat guilt bombs that prey on the weak and
