Welcome to Week 8 action, no byes.  Don't forget to buy Halloween candy, then buy MOAR when you eat the first batch.  You disgusting, fat pig. Cincy went with the "White Tiger" kit this week, and the vast majority of the home support decided to join in.  Depending on one's perspective, it

Holy shit, we made it!  Three weeks of MANDATORIUM duty, despite having to start with Jaguras/P*ts - and finish with the goddamned Q-aron Jest.  But challenge us, for DFO will rise up to meet it, with unfettered devotion. New England ran out to a 10-nil lead, but much like that most painful

Some days, one just feels like monkeyshit.  I wasn't hungover, I don't think actually sick, I DID remember to take my anti-crazy pills in the morning...so, who knows.  Maybe just the pressure of living in this fucking Darkest Timeline. But STILL, I was up in time for MANDATORY WATCH DUTIES.  What did we

Across the pond we go, for the first 14-hour MANDATORIUM in the Clubhouse. That means we started our FITBAW day with the sour grimace of Q-aron.  After a fairly hot start (including, but not limited to, drawing eleventy-billion DPI calls on medium-to-deep tosses to Justin Jefferson), Touch of Downs seemed to succomb

Strange happenings were indeed afoot at the Circle K.  Read on/ Some things, one can NEVAR unhear.  Like the match commentator comparing The Gospel According to Fatthew to...Magic Johnson?  Uh, ok then.  RRRRRRRRRRAM IT!! have been doing it with smoke and mirrors, but the Chi**** held them in check, and forced two

The Increasingly Poor Decisions of King Hippo - my Loser Pool re-set on Friday, and after much hesitation, I sent in my fee Sunday morning and submitted my pick. The goddamned Donks, of course.  So not only did I feel like the idjit donor in imaginary GAMBLOR, but it also removed

After the chaos and near-chaos of Week One, one might have expected a return to form.  But outside of Arrowhead Stadium (soUrry, Redshirt), it ain't really happen. We had a whopping TEN games in the early window, which is asking an awful lot of Scott Muthafuckin' Hanson and his RedZone crew.

Well, was that a classic or a shitshow?  Really, it was both.  For 3+ quarters of footy, only the kickers really did anything.  Nothing really happened with either offense. Then...everything happened.  Except we were 1 second on the play clock away from entering Q6. Two turnovers each way, but only the Chefs

We close the Flacco-Free Flacco Eight, with two very good games.  One winner more likeable than the other, but such is life. Fuck or Walk time is upon us, and the Lions?  Well, they FUCKED.  Was a slow burn, this game.  Two heavyweight boxers feeling each other out.  DET gets 3, MRSA

How mad do y'all think Jerral is, that he has to wait until after MLK Day to rage-fire Mike McCarthy?  How much iced cream do you reckon the latter ate after the game? To infinity and beyond we goes. I have often scoffed at notions of "momentum" and over-thinking things like the

I don't really have much to say - but what the hell.  A Sunday morning placeholder, I guess! NBC's matinee was a pretty compelling football match, for about 35 minutes of play.  #ThePauls even led 14-10 in Q2!  I know, it was cray.  Back and forth, and it looked pretty even.
