Bandwagon jumpers, johhny-come-latelys, whatever you want to call them, I don’t like them. There is something to be said about staying loyal to well, anything, rather than place your allegiance based on a team’s winning percentage at the moment. I actually switched my fanship long ago from the geographically convenient Los Angeles Rams to differentContinue reading “Front Runners”

Caliente
I am schlepping along like ordinary Maddogg, but something must be in the air. As it warms up here in southern Ohio, I am suddenly a hot commodity. I already told you that I have a gig on 3/30, but now I might have a weekly thing at a bar called the River Edge inContinue reading “Caliente”
Pete Kadens U da MAN!
Karen had CBS Sunday Morning on and I caught the story of the non-profit called Hope Chicago and how they just changed the world. They have made the public offer to pay for high school students’ college education in five different high schools in Chicago. Room, board, books, the whole enchilada. There is no priceContinue reading “Pete Kadens U da MAN!”
I’ll Give it to You Straight
Like always. The news about the imminent war between Russia and the Ukraine doesn’t change. All they do is add another “very” in front of the word “imminent” to get the current political climate in the area. I think at last look, it (war) was very, very, very imminent. Shit or get off the pot.Continue reading “I’ll Give it to You Straight”
Rankings
We have to rank everything. Search best restaurants near me. I saw an article ranking countries so of course, I am a sucker and clicked on the picture. In this particular poll, their Top Five consisted of Canada, Japan, USA, Germany, and Switzerland. I have been to all five and my ranking of them wouldContinue reading “Rankings”
Changing of the Guard
I think Father Time is finally gaining ground on me. Karen will tell you it happened long ago. Cold. It seems like just a couple years ago there was a new kid on the NFL stage. He was Patrick Mahomes from the Kansas City Chiefs and he was fire in a league that loves theirContinue reading “Changing of the Guard”
Art Imitates Life
They finally did it. It feels like years since the Law and Order episode that showed the gun makers get sued. Except they won. They always won. They enjoyed the same kind of horseshit immunity from prosecution that cigarette makers did. Zoom forward to 2022. To recount the mass shootings in the world is toContinue reading “Art Imitates Life”
Super Sunday
One of my fondest memories from living in England was staying for six months in a very old English manor house in Oxford when we first arrived. When you are in a military family, it was the moving that got to you after a while. Girlfriends, schools, countries; always changing. So when we arrived inContinue reading “Super Sunday”
Go You Reds!
I can’t help it. The one sports team that I will follow as often as I am able is the Manchester United Football Club. Ever since I watched Georgie Best, the mercurial striker for United beat Geoff Hurst and West Ham in 1967, I have been a loyal maniac for the lads whenever and whereverContinue reading “Go You Reds!”
Never a Good Thing
When the President tells Americans to leave a country, in this case Ukraine. It is not a small country, and with no one’s help, I think there are plenty of countries that could kick their ass, but JoJo seems to want to get his hands into everything before he finishes his one term in office.Continue reading “Never a Good Thing”
