Yabbut Tim Howard is an American.

My son and I, both Liverpool fans, were screaming our fool heads off. Not against Everton, necessarily, but for the weaker, injury-riddled team that always tries to play an exciting and positive game. What a finish.

First time this came to my attention (aside from the kids insisting we use my email for contacts) was when my younger boy, just turned 15, had me drive him so he could drop off a present at his girlfriend’s house. He left it on the porch, took a pic of it with her door in the background, then sent her a Snapchat. I…

So true. I don’t wanna know anyone who doesn’t like Newt. And clearly this should have been my life goal early on, because Mission Accomplished, suckas!

It set my teeth on edge just writing the goddamn thing. But sometimes you have to make sacrifices to make an overly obvious point.

‘He had some extra’s and needed some place’s to put all of the apostrophe’s.’

The ref’s socks are “Penalty” socks. How come I didn’t know this was a thing?

The Frantics!

Seriously, the amount of “top whatever movies of all time” lists that come out in which the author has no idea of anything before 1995(ish) drive me nuts.

Between this and my Chargers about to pull the plug and - well shit, everyfuckingthing - I just sent an email to the guy running my pool telling him I’m out. I mean, the NFL has never been my number one sport/league, but I’ve always had interest. Not now. Not an iota, not a smidgen. Nothing. Fuck them.

If Abramovich does this at Stamford Bridge for the rest of the year Chelsea won’t lose anymore home games. Conversely, these kids might be looking for a new place to play, and Jose might be looking for a few new players...

Does this preclude practicing headers? I mean, you learn technique before you actually go up against others in a game situation. (In a perfect world, of course.) That asked, I don’t mind this, speaking as the father of a high performance player who suffered two “minor” concussions early on, although only one was…

No joke is too obscure in these parts. There’s always someone who gets it. Even if they don’t approve, they get it.

Not sure if this is a hair joke or not. If so, kudos.

I’m digging that song right now.

Actually a pretty good movie. It retells, in its own way, the story of Parsifal, and I’ve often thought of it and Unbreakable and The Sixth Sense (the only three I’ve really liked) as his Predestination Trilogy. He’s always worn his religion on his sleeve, but these three progressed up the ladder, showing it more and…

I squanch what you did there.

Many (MANY) years ago I was backpacking through Australasia and stopped in Sydney and called a friend I’d made in a hostel in NZ. He wasn’t home but his mom and brother said I should come and stay with them. They gave me detailed directions which I promptly screwed up, and I ended up getting off the train probably one…

We had a run on Halloween (nice weather brought out more kids) so I had to go out to buy extra candy that night. First stop, cleared out. Second stop, Rexall (Canadian drug store chain) not only had taken down all the Halloween stuff, but had already put out their Christmas display.

We’re all aware that the keeper dug his cleat into Drogba’s thigh, right? I mean, Drogba deserved the card and all, but he wasn’t grabbing just for fun. His hand would have been higher up if that had been the case.
