A Proud Day for Canadians and Rednecks

Long has it been foretold that the Hair of Great Power would one day return — flowing locks possessed of most lustrous sheen that doth blind the eyes and the fabled Pantene bounce that counfounds the heart.  For nigh on 4000 days the Hair has lain dormant, augmenting its power through repeated washings and leave-in condtioners, emerging only long enough [...]

Monday Morning Hangover

A little late on this today…still smarting from that horror show that the Italians threw up against Spain yesterday.
It did get me wondering something, though. Is soccer the only major professional sport where the final teams actively play NOT to lose, instead of playing to win? We see this all the time in World Cup [...]

This one’s for you, George

Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cock Sucker, Mother Fucker, and Tits. Let ‘em all fucking rot.

Gaston out of a job eleven years? Did we miss the memo?

Perhaps we’re just not as smart as the baseball elite. Maybe he wasn’t either. Or maybe it was something else.
Maybe he ate Bud Selig’s lunch or stole Bud’s “Blue’s Clues” DVD collection. Maybe he drank Labatt’s when everyone knew MLB managers only drink Budweiser. Maybe he thought “Parker Lewis Can’t Lose” the next big network [...]

Celtics shock jock radio commercial that doesn’t suck. Would that be a … shock?

VERY funny bit for a Boston radio station. It plays on the NBA’s split-screen commercials, but you have to wonder: How did the dude shave his head so perfectly and, well, what the hell was he thinking?!?!

Hey Griffey, while you’re sitting out the Reds game, would you mind running the country?

Oh, for the days when Ken Griffey, Jr. was known as the game’s best player instead of the best home run hitter who never did steroids and thus started breaking down and only hit 600 homers.
Just for a moment … oh it was a sweet time.
Anyhow, this is a Nike ad from 1996. If you’re [...]

So Rafael, you like … stuff?

We enjoy these silly blogs athletes write. Some of them are entertaining, some completely vapid, most give us no insight into the player.
That is, until the Rafael Nadal blog for The London Times! We like the Q&A section best, like this question from Fiona Lamb of Canada:
“I know you love your Mum’s cooking – what [...]

The fix again? Wimbledon matches feared tainted

Oy, here we go again.
From the ghosts of Nikolay Davydenko comes the newest tennis-betting story: Eight Wimbledon matches are under suspicion of being fixed by gamblers. The story comes from a dossier produced by leading bookmaking companies, and presented to the ATP Tour. Of the eight, four came at last year’s Wimbledon, none of them [...]

And putting the nation on suicide watch: Brent Musberger!

This from CBS’ pre-game of game four of the 1986 NBA Finals between the Rockets and Celtics. Go to 1:33 in to see not only how times have changed, but how depressing Musberger made Houston sound. Brent, don’t do this!

Death of the great Horst Skoff, spelled like it sounds

You’re not as nerdy tennis as I am - I get that. So it’s my duty to share the death of former pro Horst Skoff, who died this past week at the age of 39. Doctors will perform an autopsy, but think he might have suffered a heart attack.
Who is he?
Well, to be honest, a [...]
