The updated list: Team - Commentist Carlton Blues - King Hippo Collingwood Magpies - Moose Geelong Cats - Balls of Steel, theeWeeBabySeamus North Melbourne Kangaroos

Westminster Dog Show Open Thread – Day 1
Yes, it's not Presidents' Day. A great holiday when a lazy ass Balls can wake up at the crack of 10 AM, throw some shorts on (never pants!), and get to the mall to catch the 10 AM showing of Deadpool expertly calculating the amount of time the stupid previews
Balls of Steel’s AFL Beat – Offseason Report #2
As I mentioned previously, it's been quite an off-season. Similarly to the NFL, the first major event after the last game was the start of free agency. That was promptly followed by the First Draft (yeah, I still don't get that but I gather that the second draft is roughly
Balls’ Offseason Plans
Well, here we are again at the end of a NFL season. Things may seem bleak. Maybe as bleak as my Cure-inspired middle of the night ramblings, but fear not, dear readers for we have plans PLANS I TELL YOU for the offseason. At least I do. Old School Zero is putting

DFO’s Pro Bowl Gambling Spectacular! Part I

DFO, money comes in – Playoffs Update 2!
Last week, it was the home teams' turn to be favorites. They responded well, winning all games in the Divisional Round for the first time in a long time. On the gambling front, that meant that I had to write a lovely ode to the movie Love Actually instead of

So now that football season is officially over (NANANANANANNA I CAN'T HEAR YOU NANANANANA), we're really shifting into other things. I am uncomfortable with
DFO, money comes in – Playoffs update!
Last week, all the home teams were underdogs. They all lost, but some covered. This mostly helped King Hippo to keep the lead even though his two picks flopped. WhyEaglesWhy split, but a favorable increase in bet size on the right wagers made it an overall positive week. DTZM fell
Divisional Weekend Eve! Live Thread
Ah, the night before the NFL's second round. The night before NFL's Elite Eight is eventually dwindled to its Final Four. Hopes, dreams, and delusion reign, and for many, those will be crushed like an all-you-can eat gravy buffet in Indiana. Tonight, though, we shall have to entertain ourselves. There is
DFO Prediction Contests – Final Standings!
We have our two winners! Of course, like an idiot who has been writing "Don't forget to put your picks in!" every week, what do you think I did? Yup, I forgot to put my picks in. It wouldn't have mattered, of course, as I was too far off the pace.
