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.
This Is What It’s Come To, Again…. When we last checked in on David Moyes, he’d been appointed manager of Manchester United at the behest and recommendation on of Sir (Lord) Alex Ferguson who was retiring after 26 years on the clock. Moyes was the former manager of Everton, and as I mentioned, was…
Wayne Rooney Goes Home To Roost With far less fanfare than That Villan John Terry, Wayne leaves Man U and returns to his old home club, Everton from whence he sprang into Britain’s….well, England’s at least….football imagination so many years ago. There wasn’t the major salutations that surrounded Terry’s departure from Chelsea. Which does…
Our Nation’s 234th Typically Celebrated By Some You maybe read the title correctly. But…most likely not. In these days of social media and other shortcuts that act as a simulacrum of communication, punctuation as well as spelling has been hoisted with the petards that will light up the skies of America later this evening.…
Arsene Wenger’s revenge….. I am currently watching the replay of yesterday’s FA Cup final between ArseAnal and Chelsea. My thought was that today it would turn out different than it did yesterday when ArseAnal and Arsene Wenger strode jauntily off into the sunset with a 2-1 win. But at the 3 minutes and change…
“This doesn’t look at ALL like Alabama…” It’s Talladega, Baby!! And if don’t know what THAT means, then you’ve been living a very sheltered life. It doesn’t mean a run for the roses, or chugging a quart of milk in Victory Lane. I’ll give you a clue: THIS!! It’s Talladega, Baby!! So I won’t…
I’m glad I don’t have to write anything….THAT would SCARE me…. So….what are you afraid of? Death perhaps? Public speaking? Sex? Losing your job, your spouses, siblings, parents or…..perhaps your virginity? A plague of spiders….snakes….mice….rats….or any number of hissing insects? Or that sickening horrible claustrophobic fear of being buried alive. Afraid of the dark?…
Sebastian Vettel WINS the Australian Gran Prix There is, as there always is I suppose, a horrifying backlog of various sports music cultural political and artistic information, just to name a few, that if I captured them in bare hands and crushed their life blood onto these pages more frequently, perhaps it would seem…
Southern Serves The South; AMTRAK saves England! As the Premier League 2016-17 season begins and I start my annual parade of at least 20 predictions sure to go wrong, there is a big rail strike going on in England. Southern Railway, which provides vital commuter and rail services to south London and its suburbs…
GIVE that man another pint of gravy, good sir…. It’s been what….a month and a half, say? 3 fortnights? Well, however you slice it up, it’s been an unreasonable passage of time. And no need to belabor the obvious or oblivious facts that get in the way of the truth. And why bother with…
Bongo Christ (l) and (Not) Johnny Moustache (r) The symphonies themselves are not all that apocryphal, but their performances by Bongo Christ and Johnny Moustache, like any or most of my stories, certainly are as apocryphal as they come. Whether or not their performances will resonate with the world any better than my stories,…
It’s Talladega, Baby!! And I APPROVE of what that means!!! This will, or might likely, be my worst bloog post ever. The feeling grows within me each passing day as the materials, ideas, concepts pile crushing me, until they seem to wither away and I seem to wither away and I put the same…
International Biker Chicks In case I haven’t already announced it, I hereby officially announce my retirement from International Football. That’s it. I’m done. I’m hanging up the boots. Jürgen Klinnsman can come begging all he wants. But sorry. I’m through. I want it understood, however, that while I’m retiring from international football, that does…
Brian France with a Charter prepared for a lucky team owner, earlier… NASCAR has crept up on me suddenly this year…like the shadow of a monster. Well, to be honest it was lurking there all along But like everything this year, it has taken me by surprise. Yes, it really IS and has been…
My blog, recently…. I’ve been on the verge of filing a petition with the Federal Railroad Administration for the abandonment of this blog. The property is in sad shape, needs extensive maintenance work, track and signal upgrades. Bridges need to be replaces, not to mention the new ones that need to be built. All…
