Sunderland FC has a new manager Like many people, I wonder what was going through Ellis Short’s mind when he hired Paulo Di Canio as the new head coach at Sunderland to replace recently deposed Martin O’Neill. How well was Di Canio vetted for the position? Did no one point out to Ellis Short…
USA 1 Costa Rica 0 Someday, millions will make the claim that they were there for that incredible game in Denver Friday night. Especially if Team USA goes on to win, or at the very least contend mightily, for next year’s World Cup in Brazil. I might even be tempted to say…
Everton 2 Manchester City 0 The title race is pretty much all over with. After today’s tilt at Goodison Park, there is nothing more than a spurious mathematical chance of The Citizens defending their Premier League title. They are 15 points back of ManU(re) and while it’s possible, it’s just not bloody…
Steaua București 1 Chelsea 0 When Romania banned horses and carts from roads and city streets, it set into motion a horsemeat scandal that has rocked Europe and at a glancing distance, has horrified even America as well. And, yes, donkeys were also included in that ban. After the ban, horses and donkey were…
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…
Chelsea 1 Sparta Prague 1 Danicamania aside, who else besides me thinks that Danica Patrick will win a NASCAR race before Fernando Torres scores another goal for Chelsea? The mercy of my work spared me actually watching the return leg of this Europa League 16th finals tilt at The Bridge. But I…
Chelsea 4 Brentford 0 Apparently, Chelsea woke up about the same time I did today. On most days, that would be a good thing, IF we shared the same time zone or postal code, that is. But I live in the 53572 and they live in the SW6. So when I woke…
THIS is why I hate Science Fiction!! I get comments from friends (and imaginary friends) about why I only write about soccer (mostly) and NASCAR (somewhat) and Formula 1 (not often enough) instead of other subjects of alleged interest (besides dignity, style and culture, of course). Why don’t I write more about science fiction,…
Reading 2 Chelsea 2 It’s been said that dogs can take on the characteristics and personality of their owner, and I think there’s a home truth to that. What other explanation can there be for Chelsea’s performances of late? Those Capital One Cup matches with Swansea; last Sunday’s FA cup…
Norwich City 0 Luton Town 1 This afternoon (or morning, as it was for me here in Wisconsin), my Canaries went down to a historic defeat in front of their home crowd at Carrow Road. it was a giant killing of historic proportions. Not since 1989 has a Premier League squad been…
Liverpool 5 Norwich City 0 Chelsea 2 Southampton 2 Yes. I know. I promised not to allow any sort of football-related matters to cloud or diffuse, or in any way alter what has been intended to be an all-motorsports post. Pre-Season Thunder has already come and gone at Daytona with the first round of…
Stoke City 0 Chelsea 4 After enduring the horrid 2-0 drubbing at the hands of Swansea in the opening Capitol One Cup draw, at home, at The Bridge, I am sure most Chelsea fans, myself included would have felt a certain trepidation ahead of Saturday’s Premier League tilt with Stoke City, at…
Chelsea 0 Swansea 2 When asked what I thought about last Wednesday’s Capitol One Cup semi-final tilt between Chelsea and Swansea, I said that watching that match was very much like watch THIS video over and over again for 90 minutes straight with the volume and treble turned up all the way: That…
“2012 revisited…..” Immanual Kant wrote that morality is not the doctrine of how we make ourselves happy. Rather, morality has more to do, all to do, with how we make ourselves worthy of happiness. As the year draws to a close, I wonder if by that definition, I’m immoral…have been immoral. No I don’t wonder…
