The WC semifinals kick off this afternoon with France-Spain. The All Star Game is tonight. And that's it for sports, other than to mention that if this is true, the NCAA needs to probably take a long hard look at some things. And I'd be shocked if it wasn't. Moving...
Firing off a fresh edition of…the links!
Norway dismantled Brazil. And then England took Mexico down at the Azteca in an absolutely wild game. Spain-Portugal and then the USA-Belgium games are today. And yes, a good part of the soccer world are saying Trump pressured FIFA (without evidence) to change a red...
The Sweet 16 gets underway today. The New York Giants are signing every washed up QB they can find. UGA would win the Fulmer Cup this year, if it was still a thing. Maybe the last two years, actually. 25 arrests since the 2023 season ended is quite a feat. Club soccer...
The Sweet 16 is here. And there were some fun games yesterday, although I don't understand the NCAA's decision to pack the schedule with games starting at 7 or later on a Sunday night. The SEC, after a rough opening round, got it together and put 7 teams into the...
The NCAAs are here. Tomorrow, anyway. And it's a good thing, because not much else's going on. Hey, this guy actually gets it. And we're getting close to opening day in the major leagues (I don't count that Tokyo crap). Finally, sports sanity is back. Well, most of...
Happy St Paddy’s Day from the king of the leprechauns!
The Buckeyes crashed out of the Big Ten tournament early, and now have no hope of getting into the big dance. The Jets officially cut Rodgers. And across the pond, Real Madrid pulled a rabbit out of their ass in the CL and advanced on penalties. Sounds like an annual...
The NFL had a C-R-A-Z-Y day yesterday what with all the trades and free agent deals. Lots of money being thrown at lots of guys. College basketball conference tourneys are underway, with the big conferences starting up play in the next couple of days. My Buckeyes are...
Prepare for a stanky edition of…the links!
Not much going on this past weekend. They played a hockey game in front of 90,000 people in The Horseshoe. A bunch of basketball was played. And spring training marches on. That's pretty much it. Across the pond, they (mostly) wrapped up the FA Cup round of 16 and...
It pleases me to see the spring training scores on the banner at ESPN. It also pleases me to see that the Dodgers are playing like ass. But I doubt that will last very long. I'll enjoy seeing them at the bottom of some standings while I can. Across the pond, the Copa...
Bless you… here are the links.
Be happy. Here come…the links!
The syrup-suckers held off the Finnish rally and will play the US in Boston for all the bragging rights in the Four Nations thingy the NHL has smartly replace the All-Star stuff with. There's a scandal going on in the tennis world. The UCL knockout first round starts...
The US beat the shit out of Finland. Rodgers is gone from the Jets. And the Europa League started its knockouts yesterday. That's about it. Moving on. Good. This is what we want. And it better just be a start. This is more bullshit. The Supreme Court needs to put a...
When racism isn't racism. Even in Australia. Maybe they really have moved on. Lol, yeah sure. Anyway, there's nothing going on sports-wise in the US right now, except this. But the UCL knockouts started with half of the first-round knockout first legs happening...
The Eagles absolutely demolished the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. I hadn't seen a beating like that since the Rose Bowl. I don't stay up to watch the riots in Philly, but I can only assume how civilized they were. And across the pond, while seeing Spuds get bounced in...
I can't find anything to talk about on this side of the pond. Can one of you hockey insiders bring me up to speed on the season so I can tune in and start giving updates? Newcastle thrashed Arsenal (for the third time this season) and are in the League Cup final. They...
I got nothing for sports since everything being reported is all Super Bowl fluff. But Spring Training is right around the corner, so there's that. Now moving on... Bukele's got our back. This would be very interesting should it come to pass. I'll be curious to see how...
There in't much happening in the sports world. At least on this side of the pond. The UCL group stage wraps up today with a slew of matches. And with this year's format, I think it's gonna get wild around 3:30 or so. And then there's this. "Sure, our staffers went to...
Well, this is a Super Bowl almost nobody in the world wanted to see. The Eagles demolished the Redskins while the Chiefs relied on some crucial cameral angles and inconclusive evidence to pull out a win over the Bills. May their two fanbases enjoy it. Meanwhile,...
Sabalenka is into the Final. The other match is still going in the third set as I write this. UPDATE: going to a tiebreaker in the third set. FINAL UPDATE: Keys fights back in the super-tiebreaker to win and advance! And across the pond, the penultimate round of UCL...
That's right, THE Ohio State University beat Notre Dame in the National Championship Game. And all shall now bow in respect. They did what they could to make it interesting, but there was never a doubt after that second drive. Elsewhere, the Bears hired a new coach...
The NFL Conference Championship games are set. The Redskins demolished the Lions to set up an all-NFC East final with the Eagles, and the Bills managed to hang on due to a dropped pass on a two point try by the Ravens and will face the Chiefs (and probably the...
