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.
It’s Talladega, Baby!! And you know what THAT means!!! It means exactly what you think it means. But this time, it also means so much more. Meanwhile, for me it means finding some trailer court in the general vicinity of the Talladega Superspeedway which is ideally located across the railroad tracks from a women’s…
Sheffield United 1 Fulham 1 I had this title all ready to go for this one. It would have been absolutely perfect. I was fully expecting Dimitar Berbatov to lead the Fulham on an existential stroll through Bramall Lane and topple the Blades out of the FA Cup. Instead, Fulham gaffer Rene…
“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…

I have a fondness for Berwick and follow what…
Ah yes. There is an election coming up in that colonial outpost known as the USA. But y’all know where I stand on that, so no need for me to elaborate. I’ve already cast my vote, and I’ll be keeping myself occupied as I go about my business, waiting on the results from Veltins Arena…
Shakhtar Donetsk 2 Chelsea 1 At the 70th minute mark of today’s Champions League tilt I decided I’d had enough of this flummery and shut off the computer feed, lowered the Blue Flag to half-mast, and toddled off to the boozer. Yes, I left my 2008 Chelsea away shirt on, and my…
Antigua and Barbuda 1 USA 2 England 5 San Marino 0 FIFA World Cup qualifying for Brazil 2014 is once more in full swing, or full something. In both Europe and the New World, all over the planet, everywhere except in Brazil who qualifies automatically because they’re the cordial hosts for 2014, and…
