I absolutely loath this topic.I don’t want to write about it. But the circumstances dictate that I must. I have to. It pains me to just think about Gareth Bale leaving Tottenham Hotspur, let alone write about it and think about it logically. Bale has been my favorite players since I unearthed him as a […]

Feeling deprived of football during the summer months? You shouldn’t be. I’ve been drowning in it lately. If the regular European summer transfer speculation, coaching moves and kit releases aren’t enough to keep you entertained, there’s been plenty of actual soccer being played to watch.

Admittedly, I’ve been […]

big brother is watching
Modern technology, and the way it’s seeped into our everyday lives, sometimes blows my mind. That I can sit in my living room in Cincinnati and watch a live Premiership match — taking place nearly 4,000 miles from said living room — unfold on a picture so clear I can literally see blades of grass kick […]
new year’s resolutions
As 2011 winds to a close and the dawn of a new year is upon us, I imagine many of you are in the final stages of planning for the annual — and often eventually pointless — ritual called “New Year’s Resolutions”. Every year, millions around the world make commitments to achieve personal goals over […]
