Basel 1 Chelsea 0 I can name all the cowards for you right now. ((And you will note that the late great Nöel Coward is not on that list and never will be.)) The cowards are: Petr Čech, Gary Cahill, John Terry, Branislav Ivanović, César Azpilicueta, John Obi Mikel, Frank Lampard, Willian,…
Nothing that a little bit of aluminum foil can’t fix…. Back in 2000-2001, Jeff Green and Kevin Harvick were battling it out like little savages for the Busch Series Championship. By then, Kenseth and Junior had moved on to Winston Cup and and the Busch series was a battle between hardcore regulars, although there…
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…
“Suck it UP, Buttercup!!” This is what happens when I tend (try) to get serious for a moment about serious things. In my attempt to NOT write a 347 page book about the subject, I wind up glossing over things ((which is rather like polishing a turd—to use a tedious cliche….use of said cliche…
Newcastle United 2 Chelsea 0 I’ve said many times that the Gundam always wins. Same for the Valvraves and the Variable Fighters of Macross. What I mean by that is that they always win in the end. Sometimes they have to retreat and fight another day. But on the way to ultimate victory, they…
Boston 4 St. Louis 5 I didn’t know what Boston 3rd baseman Will Middlebrooks was thinking at the time, lifting his legs as Allen Craig stumbled home. It looked very much like he was intentionally trying to trip him. Craig had got on base with a double to left field that drove…
It’s Talladega, Baby!! And You Know What THAT Means….!!! It means that instead of what is normally expected of Talladega, we are going to feature and discuss the latest fall fashions. We will have plenty of corduroy pants, flannel shirts, fleece pull-overs, down-jackets, wool socks, plaid coats, blaze orange vests, camouflage hats, Aran Isles…
Norway 1 Iceland 1 For the first time in 1083 years, Iceland has qualified for the finals of a football competition. They will be in the UEFA playoffs for the World Cup final next year in Brazil. Vice-Captain Kolbeinn SigÞórsson’s goal at the 12th minute was all it took….well, that, and holding…
Norwich 1 Chelsea 3 Green Bay, Wisconsin and Norwich, England have a lot in common, if you overlook the fact that Norwich was burned to the ground by Sweyn Forkbeard the Viking in 1004 and was the only city in England to be ex-communicated by the Pope ((happened in the year 1274)). Other…
Tootenham 1 Chelsea 1 All week long the broadsheets and the airwaves were sparkling with the news of the great breakup of the Jose Mourinho/AVB bromance. Friendship, evidently is not forever. It was very much as if, say, two of the G1 Big Brother Ponies had a spiteful spat….Steamer and Quarterback for…
Chelsea 1 Basel 2 I wondered all through the Champions League opening tilt where in hell Jose Mourinho got his starting lineup and subs bench from. From the look of it, he must have rounded up a bunch of shit-lookalikes from pubs and such all over London and England, and perhaps Scotland…
England 4 Moldova 0 I really really wanted another opportunity to bash England and the self-important twats (with the exception of Rickie Lambert, Ross Barkley, John Ruddy and maybe Milner) who play for the England team along with the hallucinogenic nimrods and buffoons ((more on that in a moment)) who run The…
If I Knew Your Were Coming, I’d Have Baked You A Cake Like most of you, I would assume, I must have missed the meeting where several new, elusive and exceedingly obscure new elements were discovered and announced to the world. Some of these elements have half-lives that measure in tenths of milliseconds. I…
Crystal Palace here we come!!! Tomorrow morning (as I type this on my Adler J5), the English Premier League season begins with a tilt between Liverpool and Stoke City which will be broadcast at 6:30 AM CDT on the NBC Sports Network. NBC will be broadcasting live every game this season. They’ve been promoting…
