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.
England 2 Switzerland 2 Maybe someday, the British…well…the English more specifically, will speak of and revere The Young Jack Wilshire someday in the same way they revere Bobby Charlton. But given the results of this Sunday’s Euro 2012 qualifier with Switzerland, that day might be a long-time coming. Through no fault of Young…
“First we make it to the top of Blue Mound…..THEN we go win the Tour de France!!“ As I scribble this in a small Neopets notebook in purple ink with a UNIBALL Micro Vision Elite pen while waiting for the end the of the world to begin today at 6PM Christian Standard Time, I thought…
Ryan Newman and Juan Pablo Montoya have a little argy-bargy at Richmond At last, finally, and not soon enough, NASCAR returned to real racing at Richmond last Saturday night, as I clang the keys of this cybernetic simulacrum of an Adler J-5 typewriter. No more of that “YOU get to play butch tonight, little…
Hey big fella….it’s TALLADEGA!!! And you know what THAT means…..!! Yes…it’s indeed Talladega, Baby!! And you might know what that means…if this was 2010, that is. But not anymore, I’m afraid. Not anymore. 2011 brings us a Talladega that is going where no Talladega has gone before. Sorry, you monsters…you evil ones…I’m sorry sorry sorry.…
Manchester United 2 Chelsea 1 Manchester United wins 3-1 on aggregate If 10 Men Want To Mow A Meadow, the meadow must first be properly ploughed and planted. And it seemed, of course, that it was. Then, it must be tended with care but not meddled with….that is if not the first principle…
This morning, at 7;35 AM CDT, Roger Goodell, NFL Commissioner, announced the that the NFL is going to disband, and merge with Major League Soccer. There will be a major realignment of teams, and the league as a whole as result of this historic decision. The MLS season will start immediately upon conclusion of the…
Wisconsin 70 Kansas State 65 So…how’s yer bracket doing so far?? Are you beating the facking President Of The United States?? AS I write this, I’m trailing the President by 50 points. He’s beating my ass in the East and the SouthEast, but I got his number in West and SouthWest….he missed on…
Chelsea 2 Manchester United 1 There. One match down and one to go. Mr. Chelsea did the talking ahead of this epic tilt at Stamford Bridge. And David Luiz and Frank Lampard did the rest. Luiz with a beautiful 10 yard tap-in off Michael Essien’s cross via Ivanovic at the 54 minute mark to level…
Green Bay Packers 31 Pittsburgh Steelers 25 I’ve very likely said this before, but I will say again. There is too much information and not enough knowledge. We are, for the most part, wallowing in a spew of information that despite the use of the word information, is hardly informative, especially when one takes into…
As I write this, the racing season has begun in earnest. The Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona is swirling by on lap 19 with 23+ hours to go and the Flying Lizard Motorsports DP car driven at the moment by Jorg Bergmeister is in the lead. This is the race that for me marks the…
Chelsea 2 Blackburn Rovers 0 It was just a moment, in a descending series of moments. But it seemed to last forever….a moment that would never end. In a behavioral sense of the word, moment is more or less intended to be quick, finite and have temporal short duration, as in “May I have a…
It’s probably a blessing in more ways than one that my wife and I don’t live in some grim, Northern shithole like Leeds or Bolton or Wolverhampton in merry old England. Instead we dwell up on Military Ridge in the Driftless Zone of SW Wisconsin, a place of releatively more impassioned beauty. But then again,…
Somewhere, there is a perfect world, or at the very least a perfect sports world, where wise men of noble purpose rule the pitch, the field of play, the arena of life…the sporting life at least. A world where decisions make sense, and are well-formulated, good, and wise and true. And when the lads march…
Where the fuck is Qatar?? A lot of odd stuff, random bollocks, and other assorted shite has been happening lately that I can’t begin to comprehend in some cases, and in other cases, even though I comprehend it, I can’t begin to offer any sort of explanation for it. I need a guidebook of some…
