Idle Speculation Is About To Start! It’s Like A Dream!! Speculation is a constant in sports journalism. Who will win the focking ballgame being the most common form. For example, the Chicago Blackhawks took game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals last night by a 3-1 score on 2…
West Ham United and the Oakland Raiders Attempt To Sneak Into The Playoffs It’s Silly Season in the English Premier League. The transfer window opens July 1st, and teams are making their big brave plans. And from the look of it, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE is gunning for that 4th place finish ((well…everyone…
Hey LOOK!!! It’s David Luiz!! This is usually the stage of the game where I have to think of something clever to say. But good luck with that one on the day, I guess. We’ll ((or I’ll)) have to see what happens. If I can figure out a surefire way to hook up…
It’s Talladega, Baby!! And You know what THAT means…..!!!! It means, as you should know by now, that we are going to engage in a gentlemanly discourse about soccer, Formula 1, the Stanley Cup playoffs, the National Basketball Association, the World Rally Championship, and the applicability of certain Japanese Magical Girl Anime show mascots…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
