I was not going to pay those money grubbers at ESPN+ one red cent, so I had to keep up with my Manchester United Red Devils through the delayed Gamecast on the channel I DO pay for.
I both praise the Premier League football club unnecessarily sometimes, and criticize them unnecessarily at others.
But I really do bleed Red.
Glory United!
You can imagine I was going absolutely mad at the 1-1 draw that the Reds were playing to in the FA Cup.
At home.
To a struggling Leicester City club.
The draw still held as two minutes of the three given for Extra Time had passed. Then, out of a set piece, Bruno Fernandes kicked a beautiful curling ball to the player that I have given the most grief, the player that I described as “having the vertical leap of Herman Munster”, ”a total waste of flesh”, and ” a waste of a roster spot,” yes, the one and only Harry Maguire, old number 5.
But to my utter amazement, there he was, as time was expiring, flying through the air and absolutely burying a header cross-goal as the goalie could only throw up his hands in disgust and defeat.
Just minutes before I watched Harry allow a Leicester City goal directly in front of the goal.
That’s right.
Right where the Center Back is supposed to be.
But he’s the man tonight.
United are on to the fifth round of the FA Cup!
If manager Ruben Amorim wants to keep his job…
I was pleased to hear that the halftime performers at the Super Bowl do not get paid.
Good, because I don’t think I’ve ever heard any that were worth a damn, except maybe when Chris Stapleton played.
I don’t think he needed the money, anyway.
Now, they have gone too far.
It is one thing to make our bars of soap smaller and charge us more for them, but you cannot tell me that there isn’t some process or chemical that is making the soap bars “dissolve” at a faster rate.
Here’s another thing that pisses me off.
I was looking at the online TV guide and they show an NFL football Super Bowl Pre-Game show.
At noon.
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow is Saturday.
I think I’ll pass. (Get it?)
Japanese Prime Minister Ishiba thinks that kissing the presidents’ ass will prevent deleterious tariffs on his country’s goods.
Got news for you buddy.
ANY sign of compliance or vulnerability will just make you prime fodder for him. He’ll just think you are weak and can be easily exploited. He’s going to do whatever he wants, don’t you get it? Doesn’t anybody get it?
Speaking of DJT, he wants to remove the freaks from the art world.
He doesn’t seem to understand, the freaks ARE the art world.
Those wacky Ukrainians and their surprise attack strategy has our little bald lawn gnome Pooty Poot Putin worried…..again.
Of course DJT will take all the credit if the Ukraine happens to screw around and actually WIN the war with Russia.
What doesn’t he take credit for?
Stay well.
