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.
Nico Rosberg was booed when he took the podium In case you are wondering, and even if you’re not I’m going to tell you anyway, the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps is my 2nd favourite F1 race of the season. It’s a beautiful setting, a challenging course, and coming out of the summer it’s…
“One of the easiest things in football is to win 1-0.” Ipswich Town 0 Norwich City 1 Lewis Grabben smacked home the opener at 24 minutes off a Tettey header from Hoolihan’s corner, and….as Jose Mourinho might say, the rest was easy. It didn’t look easy at times, but Norwich was the…
ManU(re) 1 Swansea City 2 People win football games, not tactics. And the problem right there is obvious. You have to, well, deal with people. On the surface of it, on the ink-riddled paper, ManU(re) has better and more talented people than Swansea. But on the evidence of the scoreboard, that was…
Next Stop….BURNLEY….Burnley Manchester Road… The telegraph wires hum as I tap this out on a cool/warm sunny Saturday morning. The wind gives the blinds in my office a little shake, startling Sophie, our little Pekinese/Shih Tzu pup (actually not a pup…fully grown and almost 4 years old). She packs it in, and returns to…
5000 words or More? NOT including pictures?? BRACE yourselves!! Get a 30 pak of BEER! It should be fairly obvious to most that I’m not a fan of what Malcolm Gladwell calls thin-slicing. Nope. Not for me. Give me a thick slice of something or nothing at all. No tasting glasses of beer…pour me…
LA Galaxy 0 ManU(re) 7 While Matt Kenseth and Danica Patrick were not even imaging that they would merely qualify 13th and 14th respectively for today’s Brickyard 400, ManU(re) were obvious attempting, with some success, to achieve the highest stage of manliness imaginable in front of 86,432 fans at The Rose Bowl…
Knights of Columbus Madison WI 7/19/2014 Once again, I can’t really think of anything to say about our Dairyland BJD Summer Meetups, so I won’t even make even a vague attempt. Unless, of course, I happen to say that this year, we had some terrific volunteers who gave us some…
Lincoln Red Imps 1 Havnar Bóltfelag Tórshavn 1 I’ll blame the World Cup for this. In any other year, I would have been all over the start of UEFA Champions League 2014 qualifying ((and also the Europa League 2014 qualifying)) bringing you a thrill a minute from more grim Eastern European shitholes…
How’s the third Fermat prime treating you now you fat Irish c**t!!! If you thought I’d be writing about USA! USA!! USA!!!’s World Cup 2014, you thought wrong. I’ll get that at some point…and that point will be when Belgium joins us on the sidelines. For now, we have a rather bizarre and intriguing…
Clint Dempsey wins the Quaker State 400 at the Kentucky Speedway Let’s get the NASCAR out of the way straight off this time. No facile conceit about being dragged into it by some cute anime babes. Nope, none of that. Gentlemen, start your engines. It’s NASCAR’s good fortune that they’re on a series of…
USA 2 Ghana 1 I have no explanation at all why it takes the perils and traumas and suffering and failures of England at the 2014 World Cup to propel a take on USA! USA!! USA!!!’s 2-1 win over Ghana on Monday night. I cannot explain that. But funny and and hah hah and…
This article has been translated from Portuguese by Gordura Nakagão As I write this from the pilothouse of my steamboat moored precariously on the Amazon River slightly downstream from Manaus, gameday 3 of the 2014 World Cup has finished its march to mayhem. I have watched all 8 games so far and here I…
I am the motherfucking KING of Truck Drivers!! You want to know why?? Because I’m motherfucking Kyle Busch. That’s why!!! Whether you think Kyle Busch is a douchebag, or an asshole, or an insufferable twat, or the reigning King of Faggotry, or not, you have to admit that in NASCAR, at least, he is The…
Kurt Busch might be doing the double…..I’m doing the triple!! As I promised, I’m doing the Triple today. Grand Prix of Monaco, Indy 500, and the Coca-Cola 600. A day at the races well spent. Kurt Busch is doing the double, the Indy 500 and the Coca-Cola 600. Buy I’m doing all three races.…
