Hockey and basketball seasons are coming to a close, and we still need our fix of sports in the warm summer months, because we don’t all want to watch baseball. I mean, I do, but life sucks when the Mets are the best team in New York. (There are too

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

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

I can do this... I can do this... /deep breath... That was a pretty go-- FUCK THE BLACKHAWKS!!! Dammit. I'll take anybody but them. C'mon Blues.

If Roger Goodell had any sense of humour - even an evil one - he would make an announcement about Josh Gordon today. It could be about anything: reinstatement trade of his rights renaming the drug test after him Instead, Johnny Manziel's Halo partner is going to have two missing years on his transcript. Like

Did you know Wrestlemania is this weekend? Oh, it’s true! It’s damn true! It’s being held at JerryWorld, and it’s going to be four hours long! It is the 32nd edition of "The Grandaddy of them All!", a phrase they stopped using because it supposedly devalued their other products and events. But,

"Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no fibs." After last night, the Ninth Commandment is going to be getting strained pretty seriously, as opponents try to run down the leaders. AMC might as well keep showing the "Godfather" movies on repeat. Hillary sure seems like she's going to pull
