Thought you were done with me, huh? Nope! Because the Pittsburgh Steelers had a bye in the week just concluded, you get an update on where they are this season. Also, because it's me, you get it in homophonic pictorial form. Okay, let's start. I originally said that this season would hinge on

This: Now, you non-Spanish speakers may not understand the picture I just showed you. It is, ostensibly, a movie poster for a film called The ChickenFucker.

Senor Weaselo - July 12, 2017July 12, 2017

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAXzzHM8zLw Tonight and tomorrow night are Manhattanhenge, a twice-yearly phenomenon (once in the spring, once in the summer) where the setting sun aligns perfectly with the Manhattan street grid. It looks something… like-a this. It's enough of a nerdy curiosity that it's right up my alley! So of course I've never successfully

This Of course, I mean amateur photography. In case you've living in a tree the last 50 years, here's the full sketch: Now, I've noticed that we have a lot of awesome photographers here in the DFO stable. Over the holiday, I was impressed with the fireworks photos posted by Brick and

Fun with Nick Hardwick: A Liar’s Guide for Moving to LA 3 – Carson Drift

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers - June 16, 2017June 16, 2017

Last week, former San Diego Chargers radio color commentator and long time center, Nick Hardwick, announced that he would be doing a complete and total about-face on his decision to call games for the second NFL team in Los Angeles. This is rather surprising, considering the fact that Hardwick had

BrettFavresColonoscopy - May 26, 2017May 26, 2017

Our esteemed alot of beer is out doing life things that may or may not be more important than reviewing beer for imaginary internet friends, so you're stuck with substitute teachers for the next few Beer Barrels. First sub up: ME! Last time I filled in for this column I wasn't

Dammit! I keep trying to avoid the NFL, but stupidity keeps bringing it to the fore: "Aaron Hernandez's Attorneys Might Argue That Weed Made Him Violent" - Deadspin At first, this sounded like something out of the Jeff Sessions "War on Drugs" playbook.

Everyone in North America has a holiday today except British Columbia and whoever drew the short-straw in the Wal-mart employee break room. My condolences to myself & the others in this circumstance. I was all set to go back to doing a preview of NFL News, and then I saw this: I know
