Brace Yourself

The Russian head of the Ministry of Oil has “fallen out of a window” (oops!) as have many people who found themselves in disfavor with none other than that little bald lawn gnome Putin. Oh yeah. He left a suicide note. Right. Talk about blowing my mind… France is placing a ban on smoking inContinue reading “Brace Yourself”

Did That Happen?

A man jumped into the ocean to save his daughter who had fallen overboard. Of course the dumbasses in the press want a story, so they throw around negligence and failure to adequately supervise and protect their child while onboard, but that doesn’t make the father’s actions any less heroic. That takes balls, yes, butContinue reading “Did That Happen?”

Hold My Beer

Well I guess the question of just how the American MLS (Major League Soccer) stacks up against world-class competition has been answered. Sorry, Sir David. It doesn’t. Not by a long shot.

The stones on this guy. He throwsContinue reading “Come and Get It”

From all the pictures I saw, it looked like there were many more people IN the parade than actually bothered to show up for it.Continue reading “They Did it Again”

The Changing of the Guard

So to speak. Everywhere you look, there are new faces replacing the, er, mature ones. Of course, there are still a few stubborn Union cocktail waitresses working in Vegas. As our sports heroes eventually age out, newer and even better, players are born and raised. In the tennis arena, the newest rivalry (what sport canContinue reading “The Changing of the Guard”
