NFL News: Pretty slow heading into the commemoration of Jesus’ death.
- Conflicting opinions about when the regular season might start.
- National disgrace Roger Goodell says the NFL is planning to play, but won’t give an approximate start date.
- “We can help our country heal,” Goodell said. “We can help bring our communities together. We can provide hope. We can provide a distraction from the everyday issues and show people that there is a future out there and that we’re all going to be part of that.”
- A Santa Clara County executive, which oversees the territory of Levi’s Stadium, doesn’t think sports of any sort is coming back anytime soon.
- Dr. Jeffrey Smith, an actual medical doctor alongside being a politician, doesn’t predict any sporting events until Thanksgiving.
- Worse, Dr. Fauci – the guy rolling his eyes behind Trump – predicts that COVID might be a seasonal affliction that cannot be contained nor permanently eradicated like SARS.
- Dr. Jeffrey Smith, an actual medical doctor alongside being a politician, doesn’t predict any sporting events until Thanksgiving.
- National disgrace Roger Goodell says the NFL is planning to play, but won’t give an approximate start date.
- Former Rams Todd Gurley & Clay Matthews are accusing the Rams of being late with their bonus monies.
- Both seem to have questions about roster bonuses that were supposedly due before they were cut, but I can’t believe an honest, hard working businessman like Stan Kroenke would do such a thing.
- Gurley was supposedly owed a fully-guaranteed roster bonus of $7.55 million on the third day of the league year.
- Matthews was due a fully guaranteed $2 million roster bonus.
- I call this “One Tweet, Two Complaints”.
- Both seem to have questions about roster bonuses that were supposedly due before they were cut, but I can’t believe an honest, hard working businessman like Stan Kroenke would do such a thing.
You and me both TG! 😤 Better get some interest with that too 📈 https://t.co/E8RIOhg7sH

- For some reason, Rex Ryan took a run at Geno Smith in regards to the Brady-Belichick debate.
- Taking the Brady side, Ryan said, “Let’s give him somebody else, let’s give him Geno Smith, let’s give him whoever, and let’s see how many Super Bowls he would have won. We saw the answer was zero in Cleveland.”
- Geno responded by saying, “My momma never liked dude he been a snake. . and y’all glorify it. . should’ve got fired after yr1. . truth is we won 8 games after ESPN had us winning two and he got his job back. .somehow I’m caught up in a feud and I’m the scapegoat. . Same guy that drafted me. #TheBusiness”.
Finally, to send you into a long weekend the right way, may I present to you the “Can You DIGGS It?” burger from Stack Burger in Lackawanna, NY, named for newly-signed Bill Stefon Diggs.
It’s made up of the restaurant’s spicy Demon Burger patty, the pizza-inspired Vinny Burger, the onions and barbecue sauce combination of the Rodeo Burger and the potent Bacon-Bleu Burger duo. It’s one pound of beef with bacon peppers, bleu cheese, pepperoni, cheese, onion tangles and BBQ sauce. The owner says the totality comes from Diggs’ number 14 – it’s one bun with four patties.
The inspiration for the name possibly comes from the catchphrase of spinaroonie aficionado Booker T, “Can you dig it, sucka?”
Which may or may not have been plagiarized from Cyrus in “The Warriors”, which could on its own could also be the inspiration.
Nonetheless, Diggs knows of its existence.
Nope but it looks good 😊🔥 https://t.co/ZexJOZSQVL

With today’s banner pic in mind, I have but one question:
Who’s down with OPP?
Exactly. You know me.
Tonight’s … entertainment?:
- Brooklyn Nine-Nine – 8:30 PM | NBC / City
- The squad competes in an effort to determine who is the greatest human/genius as they compete in a HallowEaster Heist.
- Top Chef – 10:00 PM | BRAVO / Food Network Canada
- Kelly Clarkson drops into the “Top Chef” kitchen for a Quickfire based on her new movie, “Trolls: World Tour,” where the chefs are tasked with combining colorful ingredients from six different musical lands to make one delicious dish.
That’s it for the work week. Seamus will be here tomorrow, likely with something involving “Easter bunnies” if you get my drift. I’ll have something on the weekend, so keep it between the ditches & we’ll all get through it together.
Honestly, is there a worse app out there than the CVS app?
Youngest right works for corporate Microsoft and they’re hoping for a June soft opening at best.
Hunker down people.
And of course it’s cold and raining.
that’ll teach you to watch your feed water flows
Although, since only the front end was blown off, it was probably a super-heater explosion. That’s my guess.
One of the odd social norms that I’ve noticed is lacking:
nobody asks “How was your weekend?”
What are these weekends you speak of?
Exactly.
considering the elongation of our current crises maybe we should ask “How was your month-end?”
Mort Drucker (1929-2020)
I could only WISH that I could draw like this:
Look at the details on “Willy and Joe” in the BG, who are characters from a different cartoonist, Bill Mauldin.
Mort Drucker was amazing

I wonder what the exact number of Americans who would have to starve to death while the stock market continues to shine brightly upon the wealthy is in order for congress to realize their stimulus was like covering a bullet wound with a sheet of toilet paper and actually do something that’s going to keep half the country from drowning.
Once they have to start doing manual labor.
Somewhere in the range of 40 to 45%?
I’ve invested heavily in Amalgamated Face masks, and also increased my position in John Deere, who make the back hoes that frequently dig commonly available graves, according to the 10-Q Industry Sector Reports that I’ve studied. I just don’t see a downside here.

We’re not doing science because it’s as good as outlawed.
When we have flatearthers commenting on the JPL website……
Table open. Although I screwed up the buy in. But at least I can’t lose as much at one time this way.
Huh. The Channel Guide of Hulu doesn’t show anything past 10:00 PM. Either Hulu is malfunctioning, or the world is ending in 39 minutes.
Let’s hope for the latter.
Makes deciding what to have for dinner seem rather pointless.
See you in hell bitches.
Who wants my fake money before we all die painfully?
I’m planning on rebelling against Satan and taking the thrown for myself. Anyone want to assist?
So, the wine bar that I habituate closed down back when everything else did about three weeks ago. Now they have reopened for curb service. So in order to help keep them afloat (new owner took over six weeks ago, she had been a customer and then worked as waitstaff for amusement for several years, I really feel badly for her about the poor timing of it all), I ordered a bottle of house cab and a sandwich to pick up, and added a 10 buck tip just because I feel a lot luckier than folks in that business in that I will probably continue to have a job for the foreseeable future, at least until society totally collapses. It’s been my regular hangout since 2003, I would be gutted if they had to close permanently.
Been doing the same thing. We both still have jobs (so thankful) so we order takeout from our favoUrite spots in hopes the stay afloat.
We’ve been picking a place once a week to get takeout (and now beer!). I’m somewhat concerned about the dive at the bottom of the street. They didn’t serve food so they are still closed. I’m assuming the beer/wine takeout exemption doesn’t think bags of chips count as food.
Not for right meow, but eventually, I’m going to need a recommendation for a decent mezcal for my home bar. Think for mixing mezcal old fashioneds rather than for straight sipping.
For great mezcal, I always go for Don Julio 1942. But it’s a bit pricey for mixing. Definitely for sipping.
Would also like this info. If you type in Anal Mescal, its like a Balls-signal.
You rang??
Dang, he didn’t even have to type your name three times.:format(webp)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/49663815/timburton.0.0.jpg)
No, he only shows up in person if you say his name three times.
I assume with the parka.
I would’ve went with Candyman, which I always thought was vastly under rated.
Ashamed to say I agree fully with this statement
If you do get mezcal, make sure it’s made in Oaxaca. Anything made in Jalisco it’s tequila leftovers.
Today, it hailed, rained, snowed, jumped up 20 degrees to 50, rained, hailed, sleeted, rained some more.
So Rikki is Don T, Blax is Sill, Hippo is full blown addiction to FM2020 (nawt a drug), and we get a surprise post tomorrow. Now we are all caught up.
Don’t think so much, just go play in the sprinkler…
Can’t tell if this is Felicity-era Keri Russell, or just a nice resemblance to her, but either way I approve.
Its her. Its from the movie Eight Days a Week. She also shows off a glimpse of side boob at the end of the movie. My research suggests it is the only topless scene she’s done.
Man, I’m losing it. I don’t remember that scene. In fact, I thought the movie was filmed in black and white.
So, reading the Canadian stories (which post I enjoyed very much, thanks) in the previous thread, I have a question. Maybe it has something to do with some different way geography is perceived up there.
Scotchy states that he lives in northern Ontario, between the towns of Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie. Looking at a map, that would indicate a residence somewhere along Hwy 17, along the coast of an embayment of Lake Huron. Panning back, it seems a lot more like this is southern Ontario. Northern Ontario would seem to me to be closer to Hudson Bay than Lake Huron.
Just asking…
He was born and raised in South Detroit.
Are you saying he took a midnight train going anywhere?
I mean, anywhere he could slice up a hobo, sure. Don’t stop believin’ in the hobo-killin’ dream!
I would not trust Steve Perry, Jonathan Cain, or Neal Schon as travel agents to plan out a Journey for me. They obviously failed geography. Isn’t South Detroit actually Windsor, Ontario?
C’mon man, it isn’t about the destination, but the Journey.
Hey, we’re all gonna get laid!!!!!

I posted previously, “We’re all gonna get daid!”
Western University is in London. Figure that out.
Howevah! Norther Ontario is anything out of Maestro region. So, north of Muskoka and north and west of Ottawa.
If Maestro were here he would tell you about Lower and Upper Canada which in fact were opposite but since it was ancient time you were going “up” river.
OK. I had built up a model in my mind over the last couple of years of him pounding around in snowshoes around Lake Hope, Big Beaver House, or Summer Beaver.
Oh. Its in the Canadian Shield. Rural forest as fuck. It is the north. Being from Manitoba the shield just starts north of Game time Decisionland and about and hour east of Winnipeg. It is a single highway in parts from Kenora around the lake. So many moose.
What’s the Canadian Shield?
A maple leaf. It doesn’t stop weapons or bullets. That’s why they’re always so polite.
As a degreed geologist, I know the answer to that question, but am too lazy to post a link for you. You’re pretty handy with the internet searches and need no assistance from me, anyway.
Anything that is too far north for a Torontonian to drive to as a summer cottage is “Northern Ontario.”
Go far enough north, and people give you weird looks when ask if they have a cottage, because it’s called a “camp,” damnit.
Absolutely correct. Was weird for me driving in to the shield from the South last year. Didnt know there was so much farm land leading in to it. Just like Manitoba.
Just saw an episode of Hot Roads on Amazon where they drive ice roads from Winnipeg to God’s Lake. How far North would you say that is?
Well you can get to Thompson 365 on paved roads. It is when you want to splinter off os where it gets a wee bit sketchy.
/checks God’s Lake
Oh yeah Ice roads in winter, no access in Spring and Fall, maybe a dirt road in the summer.
It’s “drive in, fly out” country. I once taught in Waboden,MB. The difference between winter & spring is ice thickness.
I think that episode was the only one of the series that wasn’t filmed in some third world shithole. Kinda weird, since it was the final episode.
Greetings from the stone age, folks. Still no household internet, and won’t be for a couple more days.
Stay strong.
Burger King? RTD became Don_T so quickly I didn’t ever see it coming.
He’s like a Don_T that would get help from the White House.
Well, he is white.
How’s your paper towel supply?
Can’t find it now, but saw a shop of this gif with a coronavirus germ or bug or whatever the hell they call it superimposed over the paper towel roll. Hell, it was probably here on DFO.
This is why I come here.
Also because of the plastic on the furniture.
I lucked into the last two rolls of the store brand of paper towels at the HEB the other day. Gave a roll of paper towels and a roll of incredibly soft Charmin to the cleaning lady today, and an extra 20 bucks for braving the virus to come clean my house.
I would ask what kind of third world country you’re living in, but it’s apparent we’ve become one over the last 3+ years
Take this opportunity to get some cleaning done around the house.

Fun fact: Albert Hammond grew up in Gibraltar.
It’s interesting how us old farts find ways to think alike, huh?
Actually, I think it’s some kind of post-WWII DNA mutation brought about by atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons.
Thoughts and prayers.
Looking at this I do have some thoughts. And a prayer or two.
It rains in LA?
New proposed rule: if someone negligently or purposely invades your six foot radius, you are permitted one open-handed chop to the offender’s throat.
Do you get to give the Austin Power “Judo chop!” battle cry?
It’s not nearly as effective if you don’t.

Buffalo NY has some of the greatest comfort food in North America, and that’s just a fact.
My father grew up in Lackawanna (when it was a stinking shitty steel town on Lake Erie) and he got the hell out of there at age 17, trying to get into World War II before it ended but he was too late but he was a key guy in the Berlin Airlift.
My favorite: the “beef on ‘weck” sandwich at Schwabl’s. Extra horseradish please!
This 100% is the correct food taek for Buffalo.
[stares off into the distance, remembering a time when it was properly respected]
-Rochester’s “Garbage Plate”
The “Garbage Plate” was never famous. If you think it’s good I’ll have one with you. But if you want a Beef on Weck I’ll buy you one.
So, the sports media got fooled by a fake Sportscenter account saying Kaepernick to the Jets. Way to fucking go, guys.

Meh screw it, I’m not rewriting it all now.
I was guessing at least Halloween, but Thanksgiving seems more likely. Just in time for Covid to make a comeback.
Everything is canceled forever, the end.
Hooray!
