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.
Fløtugerði Fuglafjørður, Faroe Islands ÍF vs. Linfield 7/3/13 13:45 CDT The future snuck up on me yesterday. With the Confederations Cup done and dusted, with Brazil whipping the hell out of Spain 3-0 at the Macaranã, I figured that there wouldn’t be much more for me to think about, football-wise, while waiting on Jose…
Andrey Arshavin fans await his return to Russia… Eugene Cernin, for those of you keeping score, was the last man to walk on the Moon. As for the last one to walk on Mars, well, the jury is still out. But in the meantime, Andrey Arshavin is heading back to Russia, to his old…
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,…
Netherlands 0 Denmark 1 If I could, I would write a million words about the turmoil of the past two weeks. But there is never enough time or words. Never enough pictures. The Milwaukee Brewers, after a 4 game sweep on the road of the LA Dodgers, the best team in baseball, lost…
Chelsea 0 Tottenham 0 I was up this morning a LOT earlier than THESE lads were to watch this here in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin…Troll Capitol of the World. I settled into my recliner with a cup of coffee close at hand…and was soon lulled off into a nap…an extra 2 hours…
Chelsea 1 Birmingham City 1 I wish the words would escape me. I wish I could fall asleep and dream of magical realms, dream of imaginary cities full of tall and dangerous buildings, dream of fascinating high speed trains. And upon awakening, I will find that all the words have vanished, vanished like…
Japan 2 (3) USA 2 (1) I was going to say nothing about the Women’s World Cup since I really had nothing much to say other than the obvious. We puked on our shoes in the Penalty Kicks. No way to sugar coat the obvious even if it pisses Hope Solo off to say…
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…
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…
England 0 Montenegro 0 Just as I predicted in my last post, The Empire fell, fell a little further and deeper into the slough of despond…and the Three Lions’ little roar was silenced to a purr. I called the shot, and the lads from Montenegro, in case you’re wondering where the fuck they came from,…
There has been too much to say and too little to say. Too much time to say it and not enough time get it all down. Too much sports and not enough beat writers…well, actually the real beat writers have been on it. And so have the columnists. And yes, even the journalists, rare though…
