Balls of Steel’s AFL Beat – Finals Week One
Programming Note: I decided to post this on the eve of Finals Week Two because 1) NFL just started WOOOOOOOO!!! 2) this post was going to get drowned out with all the NFL #content, and 3) This is a Late Night sport and it deserves a Late Night post. So, did
DFO, Money Comes In – Week 2
As we mentioned last week, Week One games are notoriously difficult to predict. Given that, I say that WhyEaglesWhy's and my performance of basically breaking even should be commended. Who knew the Vikings would suck as much ass as Amabella (image NSFW, but worth the click) ? As for King Hippo's and

Team Preview Parade: NEYW ORLINS SAYNTS
Please note: dementia is a horrific condition- one that I have watched ravage two loved ones- and something that should not be made light of under any circumstances. Unless you’re a billionaire asshole who has surrounded himself with terrible people all his life and made a business of consigning healthy
Balls of Steel’s AFL Beat – Round 23
The regular season is over. The finals are here. We got one of the two scenarios I detailed last week, but how we got there was not as expected, which is what I love about the AFL. Who will host the trophy this year? Read on! Welcome To Balls of Steel's
Kommenter Beer Barrel: Calling All Hops
I remember very clearly, seven years or so ago, a time when the cutting edge of IPA brewing methods seemed to involve cramming as many hop cones as you could into a boiler of wort. Later, breweries would become bored with merely filling the boilers to overflowing with hops, and started cramming the hop

It looks like we're getting the hang of this thing! Kudos to Moose and the gang for some brilliant stuff last night. Today, we had the closest we will get to actual football as starters played the most they will play during the preseason. Plus the bonus of more injuries to
