I live in the sticks now and love it, but miss two things about the city: good pizza parlors and a produce stand well stocked with fresh fruits and vegetables. I need to travel to get both now, instead of simply walking around the corner. I should probably be embarrassed begrudging that, too, given the hardship my…

Plenty of QB’s see their careers diminished for having been drafted by the wrong franchise, but how many reached the promised land after being traded? Offhand, I recollect Jim Plunkett won two Super Bowls with the Raiders after leaving New England, and Brett Favre went to three(?) and won one after the Falcon’s dealt…

I don’t doubt some of the same owners once had a similar conversation about Al Davis. In fact, I bet they had more than one. It’s all talk, and they’re all mouth, and it’s inspired by the fact that Jones is your typical overbearing jackass. They’re as tired of his schtick now as they were of Big Al’s act in years…

Just imagine that photo juxtaposed with upcoming one of Donnie The Douche circa 2021 at home in his new crib, all covered with prison tats that read Kill Dad and waiting his turn at the bench.

I won’t argue, but it should be noted Harbaugh is a quirky good guy-type of insane, and will be remembered as such and fondly. He’s not a Woody Hayes insane type of coach, who thinks he’s George Patton and acts accordingly- no one will ever see Harbaugh slap a player. Niner fans will forever remember him as the last…

I’m sure the guy will be even happier to pony up the dough now that he’s been publicly declared a welcher by the supplicants. They must be astute observers of human nature, too, as they’ve obviously concluded he’s not the type to tell them to fuck off. Because most people probably would..

I knew a salesman who would not spare a second of his day to anyone unless he was asked about his golf game. Then he would stop in his tracks and give a person- it didn’t matter who- a detailed account of how it was going. Time stood still for the guy in those moments, and it never failed to amuse..

“Earlier this week, Cancellara’s manager demanded that the book’s publisher (Penguin Random House) stop selling the book and that Gaimon issue a public apology to Cancellara”. 

To Kohei’s credit, at least it wasn’t a sneak attack.

“we sincerely apologize to anyone that thought they were divisive”.

There’s a Quentin Tarantino look-alike that works at a local nursery. When I casually mentioned that indisputable fact to him once, it was obvious that he was so sick of hearing it he wanted to punch me in the mouth...... At least, I’ve always assumed it was the remark. Come to think of it, could be he just didn’t…

I wrote off boxing after the “no mas” fight. That said, I would pay to watch Duran climb back into the ring with that Irish idiot. It would be a win-win, assuming each honestly tried to beat the shit out of each other, and one of them succeeded. But before shelling out my dough for a pay-per-view this time, I’d need…

My pick: Las Vegas, which will prove the last financial boondoggle blundered into by a major U.S. city once NFL ratings tank for good. Which is in the cards. A guaranteed percentage of the players each year will suffer brain damage that will wreck their lives- and the lives of their loved ones- and that new found,…

“There’s good reason to feel pity for Savage”. Good lord, yes there is. I’m at the spot in the post where you wrote that, and just look at him get buried in the preceding video. That blitzing DE- or whoever he was- moved like a panther onto a crippled antelope... a crippled, blind antelope.

Months? I’ve still got socks I was wearing when G.W. and Dick Cheney big lied us into waging a ground war in the mideast.

“Can ghosts travel through time”? Good question. Colonel Joshua Chamberlain of the 20th Maine- who looked like Jeff Daniels, and commanded the outfit that anchored the Union left flank on Little Round Top- had this to say about ghosts during a commemoration speech at Gettysburg twenty years after the terrible battle:

Sports talk radio without morons would be like Casablanca starring Ronald Reagan- unthinkable.

Doggone if that isn’t the first thing I’ve ever read about Jones that casts him in something other than a bad light. Sort of. After all, and ignoring old timers laments about where the game went off the rails, Jerry Jones is a genuine American $ucce$$ story. Which will serve to make the bullet Junior Seau fired all…

It’s good to see Pablo Sandoval succeeding in his new career.

I’m going to actually miss all the yellow ribbons tied to the trees in my neighborhood. They’re like Xmas lights, hundreds of them tied to every branch of every tree as far as the eye can see, placed there by people who vowed to never rest until our long national nightmare was over and America’s best returned home to…
