Football in the Time of Brainworms: Tuesday Open Thread

Open Threads

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem - January 30, 2024January 30, 2024132

Taylor Swift is not a CIA wokeness android. Nancy Pelosi did not threaten the league at halftime if the 49ers didn't win. The NFL is controlled by Lizard People, but they are the same Old Rich White Lizard People as have openly controlled American wealth since Cornelius Vanderbilt emerged from the caves

Game Time Decision - January 30, 2024January 29, 202455

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:Love is giving someone

The WAAAAAAAGHHHHHH is back, baby!

The football season is ending, only an Owl left to watch, which I will watch, but only if I can get a new supply of my favorite "tobacco" as my stash has gone up in smoke (maybe I should pray to St. Cheech and St. Chong for a miracle). Next

Well, merde. The Narrative Owl it is, and one has to root for the Tomsulas. Speaking of, at least they weren't GIVEN anything - they just fucking took that game away. Doing what good teams do, finding an extra reserve of will and urgency, to dig out of a 24-7 halftime

Your Chiefs/Ravens Open Thread

scotchnaut - January 28, 2024January 28, 2024458

Let's do this! Chiefs/Ravens: -Difference-Maker?: MVS maybe? The Baltimore D can't be had in too many places but pass plays outside the numbers is a bit of a weakness and for K.C. this is a strength-they averaged 7.4 yards per completion and connected at a 69.3% rate. -Scrambled or Over-Easy?: Lamar! prefers scrambled,

King Hippo - January 27, 2024January 27, 2024213

Ugh, another dead/sunless Saturday. No NFL, no Prem. Just more stupid FA Cup ties, including the one I hope Everton loses to Martin Prince's Lutes (10:00, ESPN+) - because it's all hands on deck to keep hold of 17th position in the table. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B61XAN2Ujw Fortunately, the wonky coverage of BeIn has us covered,

Sexy Friday – 20240126

Mr. Ayo - January 26, 2024January 26, 202462

TGIF! We have our Saturdays back! We also have only three (3) games remaining in the season. I'm sure they won't be at all disappointing. Survival - Personal Edition I just remembered that last month I did an abbreviated post about lost luggage due to being under the weather. Well, today I'm

The Rules of Play Action

DFOing Good

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly - January 26, 2024November 24, 202445

Set in the shadow of the decaying buildings and streets of Baltimore, The Rules of Play Action is a startlingly funny, kaleidoscopic novel about three kharacters with no plans for the future - or even the present - who become entangled in a curious romantic triangle. Rikki-Tikki-Deadly trains his incisive

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Something to Keep ’em All Warm

Sharkbait - January 26, 2024January 26, 202418

It's no secret here that I am an avid Jimmy Buffett fan. Even more so now that I can listen to his album Volcano on my turntable I got up and running last year. On that album is one of my favorite songs: Boat Drinks. I love the theme of

That Scattered Thursday Open Thread

scotchnaut - January 25, 2024January 25, 202443

I took a look at one of my pensions today and they have me marked for death at 82! [looks up 'Average Canadian Male Lifespan'] Well, Statistics Canada says that the average guy drops dead at 81.3 years so it seems like I'll be spending my last few monies going

The Taylor Swift Experience, Part 5: The Covid Albums

Music?

Alex_Demote - January 25, 2024January 24, 202444

It’s taken me so long to write about Folklore. I want to get it right, but I don’t want to alter the experiment. At one point, I considered cutting this album from the timeline and placing it at the end. I spent 2 hours on the debut album. I spent 7 on rep. But I’ve spent two days thinking about folklore.
