Chelsea 3 Bolton 0 Andres Villa-Boas and Frank Lampard kissed and made up. So maybe that was part of the project, or maybe not. But Lampard played his best match of the season, which is not saying much, but he showed some leadership when it was needed, and a win is a win.…
Formula 1 gets new cars for 2012. Fuck YEH!!! Barcelona has become the measure of success these days, it seems. Football clubs want to emulate them. After all, half the Spanish team that won the World Cup seems to play for them. And almost every one of those clubs secretly dreams of having Pep Guardiola…
Who Will Be The Captain of England??!! This nonsense again. Turmoil reigns in England once more. So far, John Terry is only guilty of being John Terry, living and breathing, and playing center-back for Chelsea and for England. He has not been found guilty of racism, or of making racist remarks. Yet it seems that…
Escape From Norwich City Norwich City 1 Chelsea 1 Chelsea left the hippy bus behind yesterday (as I began typing this)….but if you go looking for it in the parking lot hard by Carrow Road, you will find that it has vanished as surely as Chelsea’s hopes of claiming the Premier League title have vanished.…
“I hope yer good and satisfied, Mr. Kyle Busch….” It’s the end of the year when the amateurs come out to drink like the pros. And of course, we all know THAT’S going to end badly. So why bother. Just because it’s the end of the year? Big deal. It was the end of the…
Tony Stewart Wins Sprint Cup Championship 11/20/2011 Smoke won the Ford 400 at Homestead Miami Speedway, the final race of the season to claim his the Championship of his career. He quite literately had to win that race since he ended the season tied with Carl Edwards who finished second. Despite winning the race, Smoke…
England 1 Spain 0 The most important football game in the universe that was played this past Saturday (yesterday as I hammer this out on my Adler J-5 typewriter) was played at Wembley Stadium, London before a crowd of 87,189. The universe held its breath. Would defiant little England clomp out onto pitch with poppies…
RIP Marco Simoncelli 1987-2011 Daniel Clive Wheldon 1978-2011 I’ve been resisting this, to be honest. There is not much more to said that hasn’t already been said, so I will not belabour it. In the wake of Al Davis, it seems that this month I keep getting cordially invited to write about death. And frankly,…
Mr. 10 of Clubs 1929-2011 What the pundits, the powers that be, and sometimes, seeming, even the man himself could not do, God, Satan, Buddha, or Darwin and the Biologists, took care of for him. The passing of Al Davis on October 8th, 2011 will be noted with both alacrity and tribulation, but should not…
Norwich City 0 West Bromich Albion 1 At the risk of sounding unpatriotic and callous, I really don’t have much to say about the passing of the 10th anniversary of 9/11. The world is what it is. Life has moved along. I have nothing much to say about it that would add anything substantive to…
Maybe I should get that Danica Patrick chick to save FIFA!! There has never been any doubt in my mind that Sepp Blatter has been completely off the rails for quite some time now. In fact, most reasonable sporting minds worldwide will assent to that. His latest little toot in The Guardian about how England…
Barcelona 3 Real Madrid 2; Greg Biffle vs. Boris Said at The Glen on PPV As I type this little dispatch from my townhouse overlooking Grundahl Park, the entire Spanish La Liga is out on strike. No Football for Spain. They’ll have to watch the National Football League! So, for now, the ugliness, the…
Luke Modric to Chelsea; Carl Edwards to Joe Gibbs Racing; Your 1st place Milwaukee Brewers There are some poetic, half-poetic, and quasi-poetic utopisms to choose from, I hardly know where to begin. Here on the day before the Brickyard 400. Here on the day after Bob Bradley is boosted from the US Men’s Soccer Team…
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…
