So, there is no news today, as the league basks in the warming glow of the positive vibes from yesterday’s thrilling matchup. Let’s take a look at some highlights:

Fuck all y’all, Rams. You let the continent down.
Oh, and do the fine folks in New Orleans – who believe that they should have been playing this game instead – have an opinion on “The Big Game”™®©?

The football offseason is actually [DFO]’s real time to shine, as the lack of football draws out quality writing from our stellar list of contributors. Many authors have their own genre or milieu that they enjoy exploring, and others will discover their talents going in new directions. I think the time leading up to the Hall of Fame Game in August will be some of the site’s most enjoyable reads to date. THANKS, AND KEEP WATCHING!
[…] up on a balls comment from last night’s Open Thread, the Super Bowl viewership rating was a 41.1, or an average of […]

Well I was stopped at a light this afternoon and what should drive by? A caravan of chartered coach buses carrying RAMMIT from the airport to wherever! Because they drove by slow all the other cars could see the “RAMS” signs in the door windows and they were getting flipped-off continuously. It was pretty cool.
Saw my final best picture nominee today.
Vice.
It was really well assembled. A bit kinetic for some tastes but a well constructed film.
I can’t say I liked because I don’t like the subject.
He was brought into the light which says something but did he really need to be brought into the light?
Final verdict!
Redbox!
No, because what difference does it make?
I was disturbed by how sympathetic they made him look
Fun fact: Evander Kane played on the same junior team as Milan Lucic. Lucic was four years older.
I missed going to those Giants games. It’s a shame Gilbert Brule’s father was a psycho who ruined Gilbert’s NHL career. He looked like he was going to be YUGE during his time with the G-Men
At least he won a bronze at the 2018 Olympics!
I remembered why I don’t like “Deal or No Deal”. Watching some loveable fool gamble $117.000 for a chance to turn down $176.000 and not realizing he has a 20% chance for the offer to drop to around $10,000.
The Onion had some good SB takes.
Just saw on ESPN.com that the Super Bowl had its lowest ratings in 10 years.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!

Stay tuned for next year when the P*ts don’t get a million calls go their way, resulting in them not making the Superb Owl
Is there another AFC team that can actually win a Super Bowl?
If Brian Flores can depose them as AFC East champs, I’d consider that Coach of the Year stuff
All I can think of with any Pats castaway is Josh McDaniels starting 6-0 including a win over New England, and missing the playoffs at 8-8, then fired at 3-9 the next year
*Eli Manning perks up*
Good question. I would at first say KC, but they removed that doubt in the AFC Title Game.
The Steelers had the talent but fucked it all up and will now lose the talent and become irrelevant.
The Ravens can possibly step up but Lamar has to improve in Year 2, not regress.
Likewise, Houston is close, but needs to take the next step.
FYI, AFL season starts in March!
I made a gif
And another
Perfect!
I think I’d genuinely hate the NFL and owners less if they were corporations rather than individually wretched billionaires. Like Lockheed doesn’t deserve to own the Washington Football Team when it already owns everything else, but also, as shitty as it is for streamlined and consolidating war profiteering, Lockheed is still less despicable than Dan Fucking Snyder. Most teams wouldn’t even change (49ers, Seahawks, Rams) and some would be noticeably improved with the cold hand of a multinational corporation directing their operations rather than some syphilitic geezer (You know who) or wannabe gangster shitbird like Haslam or just a cheap bastard like Mike Brown.
Which team would the Umbrella Corporation own?
/All of them, naturally
Buccaneers
Oh that’s just good hustle right there.
I am a genius.

If you gotta go, go with a smile.
We NEED a weekly hockey post/ roundup…
Can I do it?
Please!
I’ll email.

How did it take me 40 years to figure out hydrogen peroxide can take out blood stains? And I’m a klutz, so it’s not for a lack of opportunities to deduce it.
Now I’m trying to remember what I was using for non-white clothes. Fuck. I bet it would’ve been a lot less volatile than bleaching the fuck out of everything whenever I had to clean up blood and other body fluids.
Pfft… amateur!

Flyers win 8 straight; are only 40 points from a Wild Card
And to think, people were mad at him for running. He’s doing more than any Democrats who’s announced to show that billionaires don’t deserve to exist and if they don’t give away their money we’re going to take it back by force.

Waleed forgot to add a 100% inheritance tax.
He’s going to take a page out of Tom Brady’s playbook and declare that he’s the underdog simply because so many people hate him.
Which I guess in politics is actually true.
He seems to be doing that already.
Just talking about the Ducks got me all riled up about Chris Pronger again. If I was locked a in room with Pronger, Matt Cooke, and Sean Avery and had a gun with two bullets, I’d shoot Cooke and Avery and delight in spending the rest of my life watching Pronger’s concussion-addled brain torturing him from the inside.
Sean Avery is the type of asshole that you’re surprised still exists because you would think at some point he would be an asshole to the wrong person and that wrong person would make him stop being an asshole (read: stop breathing)
Avery ended up being a decent human being outside hockey, Pronger got karma right in his fucking eye, and Matt Cooke once met Evander Kane.

That’s beautiful.
Best part was he got that MMA-style freebie ground shot because the fight technically hadn’t ended yet
DAMN! That was a Hell of a punch.

“Yo, I already disciplined him.”
God damn. That’s some good-ass hate.
Mapplethorpe Leafs padding their stats by beating up on the lowly Ducks; can’t wait for Tronno to fold like like a two Looney whore in the second round.
Carlyle HAS to be fired after this. The Jets pump them and now this shit kicking.
Haven’t they had like, historic levels of injuries though? Save the new coach bump for a year where they can actually make some noise.
/But also fuck them and I hope the entire franchise and everyone connected to it gets swallowed up by one of them Cali-for-ny-a sinkholes full of fire ants
Gonna use this thread to get back on my soapbox and reminds everyone that Scott Stevens was a fucking scumbag and deserves to be remembered as the headhunting piece of shit that he was
Yeah they have been banged up all year. Gibson is the only reason they are where they are.
What did Robert Mapplethorpe do to be associated with the Leafs?
Piss on a beloved national icon?
Ah. That’ll do it.That was Serrano. Mapplethorpe mostly just stuck bullwhips up asses.
So Alexander Edler just almost died on the ice
jeeeeeeeeeeeesus
https://twitter.com/vanessajang/status/1092607485402202113
Like “skate blade across the throat” almost dying?
Stick got caught under voracek’s skate while Voracek while was going by him, Edler instinctively tugged the stick back, which ended up slingshotting him face first into the ice. Apparently they spent like 10 minutes cleaning up blood.
Weird:

Nhl offering Coyotes-Stars as the free game of the night. It’s like they WANT people to watch basketball…

I don’t have much to add about the Superb Owl except Todd Gurley is going way under the radar for being blamed. Andersson too.
Anyway, I’m looking forward to NXT’s WrestleMania and The Rugby World Cup.

I still think he was hurt.

2019: The year where every NHL team takes a turn as the worst team that’s ever played hockey
DFO Radio will be back soon!
Now with Football out of the way, we can ramp up to the second most important sports event of the year.
And of course, WrestleMania’s unofficial festival, WrestleCon, where 15 of the best non-WWE wrestlers in the world will work roughly 40 shows in 3 days and possibly die.
Mrs Sharkbait went to Northeastern and will be all about the beanpot. I still owe her one after they finally won it last year.
I’m with New Orleans.
It’s AFLW season!!
found a funny:
That’s awesome!!
