Very little positive return from the exquisite sporture we have been exposing ourselves to lately; however, the club that had the least expected of it going into these Stanley Cup Playoffs, your phightin’ Philalala Phlyers, have been outstanding value for money in the first two games of their Round 1 matchup against Pgh., Penna., beating the favorites decisively last night to secure a shock 2-0 series lead — on the road! And that road now travels east on the Pa. Tpke & I-76 to South Philly for Games 3 & 4. Special shoutout to very-special shutout goaltender Dannie Vladar, Game 2’s No. 1 Star.

Yay! Let the Truth & Reconciliation Committees commence!

Oh, Arsenal! Why you gotta be like this, Arsenal? Why?

Nothing like the NHL playoffs for athleticism, drama & compelling instant-win situations. Your Philalala Flyers made the postseason for the first time since 2020, and their Round 1 opponents are their eternal intrastate nemeses the Pgh. Peng-a-wins. The Pitt will be a heavy fave, but the Flyers seem to have impeccable vibes (VIBES, MAN, I TELL YA! VIBES!) for a No. 8 seed. Let the forechecking begin!

Greetings, Friday-afternoon (PDT) béisbol lovers! Since every other assemblage of mere baseball mortals seems to have difficulty slowing-down that La-La Land Los Doyers Diamond Juggernaut, maybe Mother Nature can do a better job of it!

Thursday!

Well, your No. London Arse have escaped for the moment, progressing to the Champions League semifinals via a bore draw (read: nil-nil) at home against a decidedly unambitious Sporting Lisbon side. Thank goodness for what seemed like an afterthought of a goal in stoppage time in the opening leg of the tie last week. On aggregate, it finishes 1-nil to The Arsenal, with a showdown against Atletico Madrid awaiting in the penultimate round of this year’s competition. As always, #COYG!

This demographic — certain light-skinned (and thin-skinned!) males of qualifying creed & orientation — well, they surely make up an outsized percentage of bullies & worse (think ‘molesters’) — surely! This demographic does not get enough pushback from the many more persons who are not squarely in that demographic. But as soon as the right kind of pushback is applied, the bully demographic suddenly gets quiet! Who knew! Pushback is key! Push-back as soon as it’s necessary; don’t put up with the bully for too long. Get that pushback in early & often, just like the majority of voters in Hungary did yesterday. RUSSIANS, GO HOME! TO PRISON! etc.

Yes, it would have been much easier and more on-brand for us to lament your No. London Arse’s latest pratfall — fresh off the fail-factory conveyor belt this morning (PDT)! — as they keep letting slip their opportunities to win some hardware this year. And those chances will resume again a couple of times in the next week: Champions League second leg, the putative title-decider this coming weekend at Manchester City! But for now, we will celebrate the amazing career, leadership & genuine good-sportsmanship the man featured in today’s video lede; he just played his last regular-season home game a few moments ago.

The reentry into Earth’s atmosphere is nigh, with the service module & capsule scheduled to separate from each other in a few moments from now. Godspeed!
