They Said If I Came In Late Again That I Would Get Fired, And I Can’t Risk That, So I’m Not Going

October 10th, 2007 · No Comments

Sweet merciful crap that was a good sports weekend. In college football, six teams in the top 25 lost their games. The Red Sox, Rockies, and Diamondbacks all clinched playoff births, and we are counting the days until the end of Joe Torre’s tenure in New York. And for anyone who’s saying […]

October 3rd, 2007 · 1 Comment

Oh… it could be a dream come true. All England needs to do is start playing rugby instead of playing whatever it is they have been playing, sack up, and beat Australia.
Yea, I know.. not gonna happen. So the 2007 IRB Rugby World Cup is down to the quarterfinals now with two surprises: […]

Tales Of The Poorly Named Coaches

July 4th, 2007 · 1 Comment

I had to scoff at the Yankees titling their strength and conditioning coach head of “performance enhancement”… just seemed like they could have come up with a more appropriate name that didn’t imply he was Jason Giambi’s personal trainer. Similarly, the England National Rugby Team has announced that they have brought a “mental skills” […]

So Eye Gouging Is Frowned Upon Then? Huh, Weird

April 26th, 2007 · No Comments
