Of course, I’ll begin with the hapless comedy of errors which is what my beloved Manchester United Red Devils have become. I still don’t get it. This team’s storied offense is now not one bit offensive. After having overpaid to attract mid-tier level talent, the team is paying for it now. It looks like everyContinue reading “Where Do I Start?”

Not Happening
The quest for a record-tying three NFL world championship wins in succession died tonight at the New Orleans Super Bowl. The record still belongs to the Green Bay Packers who last performed the feat in 1968 (Super Bowl II). The Philadelphia Eagles opened up a big can of whoopass on the much-heralded Patrick Mahomes andContinue reading “Not Happening”
Get Real
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.Continue reading “Get Real”
Teamwork
Our man DJT has turned his attention to one of the world’s greatest problems and a real threat to global annihilation. He has signed a bill to ban male athletes that are genetically altered from participating in girls and women’s sports. This is a subject I dare not broach with my wife, the Domestic Despot,Continue reading “Teamwork”
Turn the Page (again)
It’s been five days since my Irish got whipped by the Ohio State Buckeyes in the national championship game. And contrary to popular belief in South Bend, the sun did indeed rise today. My boys did me proud, but there was no mistake they were beaten by a bigger, stronger, and faster team. Good coachingContinue reading “Turn the Page (again)”
Relax
The point spread for the college football national championship game between the infidels from Ohio State vs. God’s chosen gladiators of the gridiron, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, has been posted. You can tell I’m impartial. Nine and a half points. So all the gambling “experts” have stated that the Buckeyes will easily defeat theContinue reading “Relax”
Baby its Cold Outside…
But it’s freezing in your heart. To quote a great songwriter (me). We got about eight inches of snow in the last 24 hours and its still coming down at noon EST. My two doggies, Arizona weather-weenies, are none too pleased. So, I’m checking out the news which I have not visited in some timeContinue reading “Baby its Cold Outside…”
I Missed a lot…
Evidently. Jimmy Carter died. He always seemed like a pretty straight shooter to me. And he loved his wife and family. A good God-fearing man. Rest in peace, sir. I love everything about the College Football Playoffs, except one little change I would make. Reward the top-4 ranked teams with the first round byes. SpeakingContinue reading “I Missed a lot…”
Glory United!
Of course I had to lead off with that. Manchester United 2 Manchester City 1. With as much crap I tend to pile on the squad for a lack of fire in their play, it seems that new manager Ruben Amorim has lit a fire under the lads. I was one who pointed out theContinue reading “Glory United!”
What a World!
Juan Soto, the highly-coveted free agent outfielder from last season’s New York Yankees, has just signed a 760 million dollar contract to play baseball for the New York Mets until the year 2040. Just in case, he also received 75 million just for signing the contract. Are we paying our educators, the individuals responsible forContinue reading “What a World!”
