This started as a jovial litle blog abouf Soccer, NASCAR, F1. But due to thei recemt ele ction that brought Donald Trunp and horrible minions back into power, it's become sowthing a bit more vicious than it was.
It’s TALLADEGA, Baby!! And you know what THAT means…!! NOW I ask y’all straight off….is that not THE BEST FUCKING BEE GEES PICTURE of All Time?? You absolutely KNOW it is. Onward. As for what Talladega means….well….we all know that the #1 search term that finds this little online sadness diary that is more…
Chelsea 1 Crystal Palace 2 Well….I was merely/only going to write about the Europa League again, but then THIS ugly mess reared it’s ugly focking head and I simply have to choice but pen some sort of take on it. I suppose I should just say CONGRATS Alan Pardew for becoming the ONLY Premier…
Seattle Seahogs 43 Denver Broncos 8 Yeh yeh yeh…I’m gonna drive around now in my brand new shiny Chrysler 200, sucking on a 12-pak of Pepsi…with”The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll” humming, whirring, clanking out of the jukebox (car radio tuned to 89.9 WORT) as the last dregs of twilight are sucked in…
Sheffield United 1 Fulham 1 I had this title all ready to go for this one. It would have been absolutely perfect. I was fully expecting Dimitar Berbatov to lead the Fulham on an existential stroll through Bramall Lane and topple the Blades out of the FA Cup. Instead, Fulham gaffer Rene…
Sunderland 0 Norwich City 0 Arsenal 0 Chelsea 0 The word zero will not appear in this little column, except for once. And since I would hate to be accused of re-writing one of my previous columns as Rick Reilly has been accused doing (allegedly) with his old SI columns over at…
This is MY online sadness diary!! A local politician asked me the other day about the writing here. He had been under the impression for quite sometime that perhaps I was grabbing or aggregating it from somewhere else. He had been skipping over the writing without realizing it was mine, every last word, typed…
Chelsea 2 Swansea 0 I honestly meant to get this done over the weekend, and here it is Wednesday already. So I’d better get at whatever it was (or is) I was (or am) trying to get at, besides the usual dull tedious shite, of course. I always aspire to write something…
Chelsea 1 West Brom 0 Saturday’s win was a win. Not as close as the scoreboard would indicate, but honestly, we have no fault but own own that it was only 1-0. Sure, Ben Foster was genius, but we made him so. Onward. Brian Reade of THE MIRROR is quite right when…
Juventus 3 Chelsea 0 Let me get this out of the way straight up. Zero is not always the coolest number. That is one of the many concepts of zero. There are more concepts of zero than you can imagine. And more of them are being discovered everyday. And if you want to…
It’s Talladega, Baby!! And you know what THAT means!! CREAM PUFFS!!! Yes, you read that right. And if you think I’m just kidding about that, you savages think wrong. This time, dignity, style and culture will finally hold sway. Something has to hold sway in this terrible autumnal season of quisling replacements officials and the…
Apres le 23-10 defeat by the Green Bay Packers, Bears QB Jay Cutler extols upon the virtues of Chardonnay and Foie Gras. Jay Cutler and Eric Clapton share one thing in common. The Japanese pronounce their names wrong…a more apropos happenstance in Jay’s case. This post was meant to be about upsets, and I’m…
Netherlands 0 Denmark 1 If I could, I would write a million words about the turmoil of the past two weeks. But there is never enough time or words. Never enough pictures. The Milwaukee Brewers, after a 4 game sweep on the road of the LA Dodgers, the best team in baseball, lost…
Bayern München 1 Chelsea 1 (3-4 pens) I did not get to see my beloved Chelsea win the Champions League for the first time in their storied 105 years of existence this past Saturday as I was in attendance at my niece’s wedding up in Appleton, Wisconsin. I monitored the match on…
It’s Talladega 2012, Baby!! And there will be no more of THIS!! Tomorrow is the day we’ve been waiting for!! The first Talladega race of 2012. With the changes NASCAR made that were tried and shown to be true at Daytona, there should be far less of the not so vaguely homo-erotic tandem drafting, and…
