This was…majestic. Right off the bat, literally, you knew it was a kill shot, and it sent Assoc. Justice Bart O’Kavanaugh’s second-favourite team (‘BEER! BEER! BEER! BEER!’) to a, perhaps, costly home defeat. Take a look at the kill shot for yourself. This is…October. Continue reading →

We don’t shill for just any over-the-hill action-movie superstar. After all, many of them continue to inhabit the same comic-book realm of their glory days — think Steven Seagal or Chuck Norris. However, a notable exception is one Mistah Jean-Claude Van Damme. Now in his twilight years, he has branched out to become more self-aware, more versatile. These commercials for a popular brand of tortilla chip attest to that. Jean-Claude Van Damme, we salute you in your humor! Merci beaucoup! Continue reading →

Yesterday was Columbus Day, and you know that meant bad news for the two teams with indigenous nicknames left in the béisbol. First off, the Indians were done in for good by Houston, and then Los Doyers finished off the Braves with Mannie Manchando here (Mannie Manchando #1 always!) helping pour it on. R.I.P., Chief Wahoo.

What a game, this béisbol. And then this happened… Continue reading →

Not exactly an example of a free-flowing move on the counteroffensive — never seen so many headers on the break! — but the last touch was exquisite and resulted in the desired goal for the Arse, courtesy of the wantaway Aaron Ramsey. At the end of the 90 mins., the Gunners ran out 5-1 winners at Fulham. Well done, lads. Continue reading →
