Basel 1 Chelsea 0 I can name all the cowards for you right now. ((And you will note that the late great Nöel Coward is not on that list and never will be.)) The cowards are: Petr Čech, Gary Cahill, John Terry, Branislav Ivanović, César Azpilicueta, John Obi Mikel, Frank Lampard, Willian,…
“Suck it UP, Buttercup!!” This is what happens when I tend (try) to get serious for a moment about serious things. In my attempt to NOT write a 347 page book about the subject, I wind up glossing over things ((which is rather like polishing a turd—to use a tedious cliche….use of said cliche…
Boston 4 St. Louis 5 I didn’t know what Boston 3rd baseman Will Middlebrooks was thinking at the time, lifting his legs as Allen Craig stumbled home. It looked very much like he was intentionally trying to trip him. Craig had got on base with a double to left field that drove…
It’s Talladega, Baby!! And You Know What THAT Means….!!! It means that instead of what is normally expected of Talladega, we are going to feature and discuss the latest fall fashions. We will have plenty of corduroy pants, flannel shirts, fleece pull-overs, down-jackets, wool socks, plaid coats, blaze orange vests, camouflage hats, Aran Isles…
Norwich 1 Chelsea 3 Green Bay, Wisconsin and Norwich, England have a lot in common, if you overlook the fact that Norwich was burned to the ground by Sweyn Forkbeard the Viking in 1004 and was the only city in England to be ex-communicated by the Pope ((happened in the year 1274)). Other…
Tootenham 1 Chelsea 1 All week long the broadsheets and the airwaves were sparkling with the news of the great breakup of the Jose Mourinho/AVB bromance. Friendship, evidently is not forever. It was very much as if, say, two of the G1 Big Brother Ponies had a spiteful spat….Steamer and Quarterback for…
Chelsea 1 Basel 2 I wondered all through the Champions League opening tilt where in hell Jose Mourinho got his starting lineup and subs bench from. From the look of it, he must have rounded up a bunch of shit-lookalikes from pubs and such all over London and England, and perhaps Scotland…
NASCAR Lays Down The Law (again) For those of you who’ve been lost in the spectral abyss of your divergent reality (such as it is) or too caught up in the secular notions of your half-poetic intellect, there was a little bit of argy-bargy at the end of the previous weekend’s Federated Auto Parts…
England 4 Moldova 0 I really really wanted another opportunity to bash England and the self-important twats (with the exception of Rickie Lambert, Ross Barkley, John Ruddy and maybe Milner) who play for the England team along with the hallucinogenic nimrods and buffoons ((more on that in a moment)) who run The…
If I Knew Your Were Coming, I’d Have Baked You A Cake Like most of you, I would assume, I must have missed the meeting where several new, elusive and exceedingly obscure new elements were discovered and announced to the world. Some of these elements have half-lives that measure in tenths of milliseconds. I…
Crystal Palace here we come!!! Tomorrow morning (as I type this on my Adler J5), the English Premier League season begins with a tilt between Liverpool and Stoke City which will be broadcast at 6:30 AM CDT on the NBC Sports Network. NBC will be broadcasting live every game this season. They’ve been promoting…
Kalju 0 Viktoria Plzeň 4 Full disclosure before we press on to a promise I must break. I am of Czech heritage. My great-great grandfather emigrated from a little village called Folmava, about 40-45 miles down the road from Plzen in what is now the Czech Republic, and settled in Wisconsin in 1856.…
USA 4 Cuba 1 If I ever begin a post where the first sentence either mentions, or references, or quotes either of John Stuart Mill or Matthew Arnold, then it’s time for you to run for the hills, the mountains, the rivers, the valleys, the great and terrible sea, as fast…
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…
