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”

Patience, My Ass!
As you may, or may not know, I was not blessed with a plethora of patience. And that was at birth. Now add seventy years’ worth of life on planet Earth, and I have next to zero left in the tank. I’ve always had a hard time with stupidity. Ignorance is hard to find faultContinue reading “Patience, My Ass!”
Great (and not so great) Expectations
It was only the first official Premier League football match away at Portman Road under the Amorim reign as manager. The Reds were very lucky to escape Southampton with a 1-1 draw, despite scoring in the first two minutes of play. Not until the final ten minutes of play did United revive a dead offenseContinue reading “Great (and not so great) Expectations”
Changes
Finally! My beloved Manchester United Red Devil football club has given manager Erik Ten Hag his walking papers after guiding the team down as low as we have ever been in the Premier League. I never cared for the man, I admit, but he never really did anything during his tenure that changed my opinionContinue reading “Changes”
There Can Be Only One
The Little League baseball World Series is being completed today so why is there two “World Series” championships being played? There is the World Series International Championship and then there is the United States “World Series” championship. One world. One world champion. At least take the words “world series” off the banner for the USContinue reading “There Can Be Only One”
Know When to Say When
No one can ever put a dent in my loyalty to the Manchester United Red Devils, but who, if anyone, will be the one to say, “enough is enough.?” I have watched the team play two matches and they looked like crap in both contests. I have never been a fan of manager Erik TenContinue reading “Know When to Say When”
The Long Wait is Over
For me, anyway. The start of the Premier League football season begins today with my Manchester United Reds hosting Fulham, a team that sneaks into the top ten on occasion, but are in no danger for the top six spots. Now, although I am very skeptical about the retention of manager Erik Ten Hag, IContinue reading “The Long Wait is Over”
Pass the Salt
This crow is a little bland. Just when I throw in the towel for democracy in general and the Democratic party in particular, one hundred million dollars is raised in 48 hours for the presumptive presidential nominee Kamala Harris. This money is coming from five, ten, and twenty dollar donations from citizens across this greatContinue reading “Pass the Salt”
Can You Just Imagine?
One of the benefits of being a bit off-kilter (a polite way of saying nuttier than Cooter Brown) is that there is a non-stop reel of craziness that runs 24/7 through my gourd. If you doubt my craziness, I just wrote nuttier than Cooter Brown. Truly bad cinema. People that know me have come toContinue reading “Can You Just Imagine?”
Jolly Old
I retain fond memories of my time in Europe, particularly in the midlands of England, outside the city of Oxford. Housing for military at the small ex-RAF base Upper Heyford was at a premium, and my mom always insisted we did NOT live in base housing, rather, she preferred us to encounter our new hostContinue reading “Jolly Old”
