This is What Happens When You Wager on P. Manningsz; Alice here looks ready to leap from the top of the Tower of London!

Sorry for the delay. You know how it is when you fly up to the Pacific Northwest and party with Rick Shermansz & the rest of the HAWKSZ!

Denver fansz, what else is there to say but ‘Oof’? That was an unwelcome throwback to all those 1990s blowouts suffered by John Elbow (Elbow!) & the Denver Donkeysz. Oof. Continue reading

2-nil to the Arse

Welcome to the Year of the OX! Broad-nosed strength!

Great article here about NFL Socialism. The one thing they forgot to mention regarding the League’s redistributive tendencies and its overall policy against inequality is how these professional American Gridiron Throwball games are scheduled. Ideally, the boffins in the NFL computer lab would have every team finish 8-8. Really! Unfortunately for them, intradivision games make that ideal an impossibility.

If there were European-style Darwinian promotion and relegation — survival of the fittest, elimination of the weakest — in the Socialist NFL, the Jagwiresz would have been in NCAA Div. II by now, and the ’Bama Crimson Tide fighting for a berth in the AFC or NFC Playoffs, not College Football Playoffs.

And the fat grasping (but big Ashkenazi-brained) Glazersz would have been relegated to the Arena League. Pity.

STAN THE MAN WAWRINKA #1 alwayszzz. How can you not root for a guy who looks like he just rolled out of bed? Plus, he resembles a Regular Stan who’d be sitting next to you at the tavern, dragging on a cigarette and throwing back a few Budweisers — no hipster Pabst or IPA for this guy!

As well, it’s always good to bring a little bit of a gut and some sporadic facial hair to the Courts of Lawn Tennis. And finally, he has that famous Samuel Beckett quote tattooed on his arm: Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.

And none of this even mentions his stylish one-handed backhand!

Thank you, Stan the Man Wawrinka, for proving to us that there are male tennis players from Switzerland we can cheer for. Continue reading
