That was a fun weekend. Road trip! Whale watching! Five-pin bowling & birthday cake! Captain America! I hope Memorial Day holds as much promise for American DFO Commentists. ENOUGH YAMMERING! Onto the stories. NFL News out of the Charlotte meetings: the owners agreed to the proposed instant-replay changes. To wit: "The Replay Official and

FYI: As one of DFO's official "Noticers of esoterica", it's my job to point out that DFO reached 1500 posts this weekend. And the wizard behind post 1500? Balls, with the AFL Beat. Well done all around. The Jags pre-season highlights just keep coming: Shaq Thompson was involved in a head-on

Brevity is the soul of wit. Well, Hamlet was a whiny little pissant. "Oh, I want to be king, but my mother married a douchebag, so I can't. Why's he trying to be my dad? Besides, my real father abandoned me, so now I have to raise myself." Brevity is also the

NFL News & Notes: A notion considered hilarious just two years ago, some sites are now projecting the Raiders to win the AFC West. No one wants to put odds on that though, as it might hamper the chances for a move. More talk on the Vegas front involving the

I promise no more anti-Toronto ranting today. After hearing about the Cleveland face wash* they received, it's taken some of the air out of the bandwagon's tires. Not sure about tomorrow; check with me later. *Shockingly, not a term found in the Urban Dictionary. Moose? The banner

Before my rant, some brief NFL-related news: Fun times in the WIP listening area: Darren Sproles is not attending OTAs because the Eagles dared to field trade calls after the draft. While it's not a case of full-blown TO that Sam Bradford has, it just adds more fuel to the

Konichiwa, bitches. I highly recommend Nashville as a tourist destination. Even if country music isn't your style, they do have a live music scene that makes almost any bar a potential good time. The four main tourist blocks - Broadway, between 1st & 5th - contain enough neon & alcohol to

Whoopsie-doodle. Looks like no one volunteered for tonight, so here's a quarter-assed fill-in right quick. I spent today driving wifey to work, various doctor's appointments, picking the wifey back up, filling new prescriptions, getting a much needed haircut, installing my parents' third printer since September (seriously, guys?!), picking up said scripts, and

Another light day in the NFL. How long until OTAs and the inevitable Jags draftee injury? Ole Miss is shocked...SHOCKED that people are taking Laremy Tunsil's accusation seriously. Secret footage unearthed by crack DFO researchers discovered coach/eventual supervillain Hugh Freeze being confronted by NCAA investigators inside what I can only imagine

(FYI: his name was Max; he was a rescued dog; he died of cancer at 8; he was the bestest.) The Browns paraded their top draft picks before the media. Something seems a little off about the picture: Wouldn't you line them up the other way? If this were Carolina, I'd say

A relatively slow day, given that the draft hangover should have cleared everyone's head about now. (Irsay family excepted.) So, there's very little by way of FOOTBAW news & notes: Clearly delusional Broncos QB Mark Sanchez says it's a "vote of confidence" that the Broncos drafted a QB rather than
