I really screwed the pooch in the lead up to that, blowing the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make my 29th TWOL post on the […]

Sweltering temperatures normally reserved for August have plagued those of us living in the humid Ohio/Miami Valley region, causing us to suffocate on the air so thick and heavy that Cristiano would trip over it.

If you’re like me, you’re still trying to digest everything that happened this weekend and don’t […]

Traveling to and from to get to all of my family Christmas celebrations, meeting with old friends who are back in town to see their families, and late night alcohol consumption have made it difficult for me to sit in front of a computer, let alone quit being lazy and start posting […]

    i’ve been lazy. really lazy. here’s the ten words or less from last week. it’s ridiculous how long it took me to post this. i apologize. i’m not the only one with a gareth bale crush. – sportsillustrated.com please, tell me WTF is going on here. – thespoiler.co.uk a valid complaint, but aren’t […]

sorry for the long wait for a new post everyone, i’ve been a busy boy the last week. whatever you do, please don’t construe that to mean that i’ve been off pulling a rooney (or crouch, or cole, or terry or…). my wife wouldn’t find that funny. so in lieu of searching out each reader […]
