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.
Marseille! Ici je viendrai!! The English Premier League teed off yesterday, so football is back! Screw the friendlies, the Olympics and the NFL!! Now this doesn’t mean that Silly Season is over with. The transfer window is still open, and with that in mind, the BEST silly season rumour out there is Joey Barton going…
Spain Parks The Bus Yes. I will sell you a tallboy of PABST for $1.50, if you’re polite, and can tell me what you like about America. That’s fair, yes? It could be any number of things from Guns to NASCAR, parodies or paradigms. Your call. Tell me what you really feel. But remember, ONLY…
It’s Talladega 2012, Baby!! And there will be no more of THIS!! Tomorrow is the day we’ve been waiting for!! The first Talladega race of 2012. With the changes NASCAR made that were tried and shown to be true at Daytona, there should be far less of the not so vaguely homo-erotic tandem drafting, and…
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…
Athletic Bilbao 2 Manchester United 1 (5-3 Agg) Manchester City 3 Sporting CP 2 (3-3 Agg) Chelsea 4 Napoli 1 (5-4 Agg) March Madness indeed. The weather, for one….80 focking degrees in mid-March in Wisconsin?? The NCAA tournament with 2 upsets that no one saw coming….Norfolk State and Lehigh toppled Duke and Mizzou….quite a few…
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…
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…
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…
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…
You’ll Never Walk Alone….etc. Silly Season is upon us. The transfer window is open and all the great gods of England and Europe and NASCAR are lining up the bids and proposals for the next remarkable talent, the next piece of the 4 man or 11 man puzzle. Search parties are scouring the continents, far…
Chelsea 2 Manchester United 1 There. One match down and one to go. Mr. Chelsea did the talking ahead of this epic tilt at Stamford Bridge. And David Luiz and Frank Lampard did the rest. Luiz with a beautiful 10 yard tap-in off Michael Essien’s cross via Ivanovic at the 54 minute mark to level…
Danica Patrick leads Lap 30 of the Drive4COPD 300 at Daytona Int. Speedway Sometimes it seems to me that I stop speaking out loud, thinking out loud and that all my voices are mumbling, mumbling, mumbling. I think that I’ve said something , written something, and when I look for the documentary evidence, it is…
Music is what give you wings, young man. Sebastian Vettel won the F1 Championship in 2010, the youngest driver ever to do so…the youngest driver since Lewis Hamilton, who is now the 2nd youngest driver to have ever won the F1 Championship. Despite stellar performances during the season, Vettel never led the points until the…
I can see the future, and it’s not a bright future. It’s not the future I want to see. But unfortunately, it is the FUTURE. Time is headed in that direction and there is no way to stop it. I know there is a passage somewhere in the Bible that says, “If thine eyes be…
