Sharkbaits Cocktail of the Week: Bobby Burns Day

Sharkbait - January 24, 2025January 24, 202558

Happy Friday friends. I’m back using the supposedly terrible Ardbeg Wee Beastie this week. Again, this isn’t the worst whisky I’ve ever had, but I don’t know if it would be high on the ordering list if I was out at a bar. Still not making a promised painkiller, though

Oh Bananas! The Forgotten Open Thread

scotchnaut - January 23, 202551

Look at me lollygagging around the damn place and forgetting to put an evening thread together and remembering just now. (7:06 EST) Well, it's not going to be much, let me tell you what. The Shame of Baalke: Word has it that because Trent was dropped from his duties as GM, now

2024 Narrative Clearinghouse

Don T - January 23, 2025January 23, 202532

Squeezing the last dollar out of property and collecting every single web click on game days are the National Football Lee’s Manifest Destiny and Manifest Destiny II: Xmas Is Ours Now Too. The greed doesn’t bother me; it’s only vulgar and boring. What rrrrllly gets under my skin is the

We have several scintillating European football/soccer games on tap for your viewing pleasure today. All times Pacific: Europa League English League One Wrexham v Birmingham As Al Michaels would say, this is a YUUGE game in Wrexham's quest to secure yet another promotion, this time into the English Championship. In their way are the runaway

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Back to the Studio!

Senor Weaselo - January 22, 2025January 22, 202565

Which is to say I was recording all afternoon, then teaching makeups (for yesterday) currently so… a bit Carpentery tonight. So; what’s the news? FIRED: Trent Baalke is FINALLY out in Duuuuval. Why now and not two weeks ago? Good question. Why not two years ago? Better question! (Plausible reason: Bucs

Your mid-Wednesday Carpenter Jorb

WCS - January 22, 202526

I'm taking it upon meself to throw this up. I would have earlier, but I was dealing with a litany of... Yinzerness. Plus, I can't use this is side of DFO at the PSAP. Also, we bottomed out (heh heh "bottomed out" huh huh) at -9 degrees MURICKAN this morning. Anyway,

Time, Indeed: Tuesday Open Thread

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem - January 21, 2025January 21, 202557

Y'all fucked now. It's gonna be Buffalo and Philadelphia fans in New Orleans, a town second only to Las Vegas in promoting itself as The Home of Excess. Hide your daughters, hide your folding tables, grease up your lightpoles: it's gonna get weird. Seriously. The Bills are succeeding even when they are

Subsequent GTD reflections

Game Time Decision - January 21, 2025January 20, 202556

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:The enemies are within

Grotesque JV NFL Finale Thread

King Hippo - January 20, 2025January 20, 2025233

I absolutely am not watching this mess. But I stand by my prediction upon seeing the "bracket" - I thought the tOSU/Tennessee winner would lift the trophy. tOhio State (-8.5) v. Notre Dame (7:30, ESPN) Yeah, I'd be rooting for Hezbollah if they represented the last line of defense against a nationwide

Reflections

King Hippo - January 20, 2025January 19, 2025197

Last Days of Disco, indeed. And even in matches where my preference is only mild - all *my* sides take it up the poop chute. Pour one out for the 500s, boned by The Narrator in Kansas City. Then the poor Fuck LioUns, where Baby Buster did some...unfortunate things, both before

Clash of the Titans-Your Ravens/Bills Thread

scotchnaut - January 19, 2025January 19, 2025241

Apparently it's going to be a chilly one today in Buffalo-she's supposed to be around -12 Celsius. For you Los Angelenos, that's around the temperature that your lavender and roasted pistachio gelato served up by Epiphany ("such a nice smile!") should be at. To The Game! Ravens/Bills: -This is the game that Henry

Searching For Inner Excellence-A Rams/Eagles Game Thread

scotchnaut - January 19, 2025304

A.J. Brown the egghead was not on anyone's bingo card. (who plays bingo anymore anyway?) The Eagles look poised to run away with this but the same was said about the Lions not 24 hours ago. To The Game! Rams/Eagles: -Los Angeles ranks 22nd vs the run and part of that ranking is
