We’re just not gonna talk about how/why a high school football coach in St. Louis chose to rep Club America through his 15 minutes of locally-televised fame, are we.

“Wayne Rooney is younger than Cristiano Ronaldo” is a good way to win a bar bet with casual soccer fans.

Actually, now I’m curious who’s the shittiest player to score a hat trick in the last 30 years?

After climbing down the fire escape, the fleeing player ducked into a restaurant.

‘“I’m not that stupid,” Holloway, who agreed to manage my hapless QPR twice, completely invalidating his above statement, told the Daily Mirror...’

Not the first time Mike Petke’s gone the handwritten route.

Tree has fallen in deepest Appalachia?

The dumb old “Devils = trap, always and forever!” take rears its head, right on time. The 1995 team was certainly a defensive machine, but had some very respectable offensive talent (Richer, Maclean, Rolston, Niedermayer) who could score in the clutch and did. Sweeping the Wings of that era in the finals was a fucking…

The 2019 Stanley Cup playoffs “One Shining Moment:”

Were it not for that fluke, he would have had a 46 save shutout victory (my Devils got more than doubled up in the SOG category, so this win was all Cory. Wait - lose for…

“That was the same year that the Martel Society gave its first “Jack London Literary Prize” to...”

+1 for the solid use of office hours (me too), +10000 for the (I think/hope) Robert Musil-inspired handle.

“Shocking scenes at Haydock today...”

“Drinking Hoegaarden in an Bobcats fleece” nicely sums up my experience doing an MA in Athens.

Him being a sports fan from New England, no one should be surprised that he was a fan of Big Catenary. 

Ah Wildwood, the first place a pre-adolescent me ever saw a “Wine Me, Dine Me, 69 Me” t-shirt (it musta been 198-.) Glad to see it’s keeping it klassy.

I guess you’re going for the joke there - but also maybe referring to this particular mountain lion, even inadvertently - https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ctpost.com/local/amp/State-mountain-lion-came-from-South-Dakota-1599627.php ?
