Senor Weaselo - January 8, 2025January 8, 202582

Okay, what in the crap is this? This is Nocturnes Magazine, a look into the Brooklyn Nocturnes. Okay… that doesn't help me. Who are the Brooklyn Nocturnes and what do they do? Remember the diceball I mentioned? Well, I'm going to use a monthly Wumbo column to write in more detail because it got

‘Sup. I’m on plane in Panamá City to San Juan, PR after a 10-day vacay in Bogotá. It. Was. Awesome. Did I have coca tea? Sí. Was it good? ¡Oh sí! And necessary; Bogotá’s altitude is a motherfucker for olding basterds like 🎶Meeee🎶. Check out the water traffic from BOG to

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem - January 7, 2025January 7, 202587

NOTE: PER STANDARD, MY EFFORTS TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND DRAFT THIS AHEAD OF TIME (I.E. BEFORE ANTONIO PIERCE GOT SHITCANNED) WERE THWARTED BY REALITY. THIS IS WHY I PROCRASTINATE: AT LEAST I ONLY HAVE TO DO THE WORK ONCE Black Monday has come and gone, with profoundly mixed results. Discounting the

Happy New Year 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. When it is too late to say

That's about all we've got for football this evening folks. We watched all 272 regular season games (maybe not all of them) and now it's time for the important ones. I'll throw a few things at you and then you can do your thing. -The Bears have asked to speak to Mike

Reflections

King Hippo - January 6, 2025January 5, 2025131

Well, this here is the last marathon, until next season (absent the heat death of the universe, which I think we'd all welcome). As a departure, let's start with the ending - the only game with real stakes, Minny at Detroit. I honestly didn't know what to expect. Vikes have the

This One’s For All The Bananas. It’s Sunday Night Football!

It really doesn't get much better than this. That it comes from the NFC North is a question that football historians will debate even two weeks from now. I remember way back in the day when the one win Giants and Niners met on a Sunday(?) night in 1990. This

Round Two-An Open Thread

Things get very tense in this here slate. The games? Sure. But we'll get to Geno Smith eventually. To The Games! Chiefs/Broncos: Redshirt of all folks knows what the score is here. Denver gets the advantage of home and their starters actually playing. Kansas City gets the advantage of always, always winning squeakers. Chargers/Raiders: Vegas

It’s The Last Week of the Regular Season and I’m Only Here So I Don’t Get Fined

Twelve DFO bucks is all I have left. Well, that and my dignity. Wait... To The Games! Panthers/Falcons: Carolina was briefly putting some points on the board but they've gone back to their tried and true ways and have scored but 13 the last two weeks so up-and-down Atlanta should roll. Should. Commies/Cowboys: Washington has

Kidding! Since Burrow came along the tilts between the two have carried quite a bit of weight. Some observations and then an intro- -Are the Texans the weakest team headed into the playoffs? I think Tampa's offense can beat anyone if Baker is cooking. (get it?) Though Houston is 5-1 in

Your Second Saturday Open Thread

Yeah, there will be a third for the evening game. Look who has too much time on his hands/is ignoring chores! Here's a few things that caught my eye. -Much like teams obeying The Rooney Rule but in reverse, I think Vrabel interviewing for the Jets job is a "going through

Wake Me Up When Dyche Gets the Sack (Saturday Open Thread)

King Hippo - January 4, 2025January 3, 202578

WIth the "Inner Circle of Hades" final four, you can count me out for 2024-25 JV NFL playoffs. Other than the back half of Sparky/Steerfuckers South, I regret any brain cells I sacrifiied to same. And of course, I've no interest in watching the rest of the Premiership roll over
