Flesh, flesh for fantasy. We want flesh, flesh for fantasy. We want flesh, flesh for fantasy. You cry flesh, flesh for fantasy. -Billy Idol
OK, here we go! Write it, and they will read. Well, as it turns out, Mrs. Q. Public never saw The Natural. So, on Friday night, we buckled in together and watched it. We laughed. We cried. We cheered. Afterwards, I thought, geez, I would love to have Roy Hobbs on my team. Then I thought, who else would I want? A blog is born. So, without further ado, I give you the All-Fictional Team: Read More »

(See Local Listings For Movie Times) I’m all sportsded out. I’m like Popeye. I’ve had all I can stands and I can’t stands no more. I’m gonna do what Jimmy Serrano says to do. I’m gonna sit down, relax. Have a sandwich, glass of milk. I’m gonna do some fuckin’ thing. You know what? That fuckin’ thing is gonna be going to the movies. Hooray movies! I’m gonna go to the Mechanic. I dug the original version. I dug Charles Bronson. I know, I know, Arthur Bishop would say, “You say you can ‘dig it’. But, the fact is that you don’t know what you’re talking about.” I know what I’m talking about. I know this version of the Mechanic features some high-octane action packed fun. Fun on the run. The thrills! The spills! Oh, the humanity! Get your popcorn ready!

I got no emotions for anybody else. You better understand I’m in love with myself,. Myself, my beautiful self. -Sex Pistols
If you know me, you know I have no love for the game of soccer. You know I see what the Brazilians see as the “beautiful game” as painfully dull and boring. That may change. That may change because if you know me, you also know I used to love the Sex Pistols and word has it Johnny Rotten is an Arsenal fan. Hooray Arsenal! Rotten says he’s a fan of Arsenal because his dad was a fan of Arsenal. Rotten: “He took us there at four and I just fell in love with the place, you know, the pageantry of it all, and that’s a good thing, support your local.” It sure is a good thing. I support my local and now, I support Arsenal. Sing it with me bitches! Follow the bouncing ball. Good old Arsenal, we’re proud to say that name. And while we sing this song, we’ll win the game!

By now you’ve all been inundated with Christina Aguilera butchering our National Anthem so I won’t post that here. What I will post here is a video of Christina singing the national anthem flawlessly back when she was 11 years-young at a Stanley Cup game between the Penguins and the Blackhawks:

Sacked like a sacker. Call Mr. Brady. Tell him to leave his hair to that guy who sings ‘Baby’ . -Justin Bieber
Public Service Announcement: Fresh off of dissing my boy, Tom Brady, Justin Bieber tried to chat up a couple of LA Lakers cheerleaders. Sadly for him, they seemed more interested in the game than the pint-sized pop sensation.

You may know Steve Porter as the guy behind the NBA’s “Amazing Is…” postseason ad campaign. That’s you. I know him as the guy behind the incredible Press Hop videos. Now you will too:
