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!

Peace out homies Six two and even!

Pic of the day, who will it be?  Your vote will hold the key.  It’s up to you.  Tell us who, will be pic of the day.  -Community Auditions

Quick.  How do you top a car.  Tep on the break, tupid!  Funny, right?  Scunthorpe United Soccer Club didn’t think the above pic was too funny.  Not too funny at all.  The calendar was was designed to be a Christmas gift for the most dedicated fans of Scunthorpe United.  The club’s Michelle Harness said: “It was an unfortunate error.”  Maybe for them, but fortunate for me.

Oh the grass is green ad the bases white and the players pitch and hit.  But more than that, alas, alack, they only prefer to spit, to spit.  They only prefer to spit.  -Gilbert & Sullivan 

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  This story has taken off.  By now, you’ve all heard it.  You’ve all heard during the American League Championship Series, Yankees fans spit on the families of the Texas players incuding Cliff Lee’s wife.  But like any red blooded mercenary, Cliff Lee said, a guy spitting on his family would not deter him from signing with the Yankees.  That’s the spirit!  And in that spirit, let’s have a look-see at other incidents in sports spitting, shall we?  Sure we shall.           Read More »

Sunny day.  Sweepin’ the clouds away.  On my way to where the air is sweet.  Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?  How to get to Sesame Street?  -Sesame Street Theme

Public Service Announcement:  Back in 1969, Sesame Street hit the airwaves.  Here we are, more than forty years later, and the Muppets characters created by Jim Henson are still going strong.  Still teaching us right from wrong.  Bang the gong!  Now I like Kermit, Oscar ans Big Bird  as much as the next guy, but my favorite parts were when athletes made their guest appearances.  After the jump, enjoy some of the best athlete appearances on Sesame Street of all time:             Read More »

Now I’m not a huge soccer fan. I don’t own own a vuvuzela. But I do dig me a good celebration. I’m like Kool & the Gang. Celebrate good times, come on! This guy celebrated. In Iceland last weekend, in a soccer game with a lot less hype than the World Cup, striker Halldor Orri Bjornsson, scored the winner winner chicken dinner. Hooray Halldor Orri Bjornsson! The goal wasn’t half as good as his celebration. Incidentally, the name of the guy with him is John Laxdal. Lax is Icelandic for salmon. Get it? Oh, you will. You will:

Now I know I’m not the staunchest of soccer fans, but I’m as patriotic as the next guy. Enough so that yesterday’s win even got me a little excited. If this video doesn’t get you excited, nothing will.

I know it’s only soccer and it’s a month old, but it’s still funny:

Don’t look now, but there are rings around Uranus. But honestly folks, couldn’t she have put her first name on the back of that shirt? Would it have been that hard? I bet she gets a ton a crap for that. Ha ha! Get it? Crap? Anus? That’s rich. That name ain’t.

Peace out homies. Six two and even!
