College! Knowledge! Football, lucky week thirteen.

Rivalry week is one of the greatest weekends of the year in college football. When else are so many ridiculous trophies at stake?
Last week: 9-6
Good calls: None. I was horrible last week. Arizona almost squeaked out a victory against #11 Oregon, but ended up losing in overtime 44-41.
Bad calls: I’ll happily admit that I was [...]

College! Knowledge! Football, week twelve.

Last week: 16-3
Good calls: the SEC (7-0), North Carolina over #12 Miami
Bad calls: NC State over #24 Clemson (Clemson win 43-23), #11 USC over #25 Stanford (Stanford win 55-21)
ACC
North Carolina (7-3) at Boston College (7-3)
This would be an excusable loss for either team, so no one is playing desperate here. It’s basketball season in Chapel [...]

Give France a…. wait for it….

…hand. Give France a goddamn hand! I couldn’t resist, but that’s what the refs did just hours ago in their extra-time victory against Ireland.

The half-Irishman in me is disappointed, but not so much that I really want to see Henry’s head on a platter like the entire country of Eire. Well, at least he admitted [...]

A Warm Glass of Shut the Hell Up

Normally, I would never EVER post ANYTHING about golf.  Ever.  In fact, I guarantee you this is the first time it’s happened.  But when there are videos of famous professional golfers imitating Happy Gilmore, I’ll make an exception.

College! Knowledge! Football, week ten.

Watching Nebraska’s recent struggles on offense, I couldn’t help but think about their old option teams that used to steamroll everyone in their path, and even rattled off a few national championships. Those games were fun to watch (unless you were cheering for their opponent that day), and it never ceased to amaze me how [...]

Chick Fight!!!!!

A VERY one-sided chick fight, that is.  Don’t mess with Elizabeth Lambert of the University of New Mexico women’s soccer team.  This crazy b*tch will f#ck your sh*t up and never think twice about it.  Yes, that is the same girl in each one of these “highlights.”

College! Knowledge! Football, week nine.

Last week: 14-4
Good calls: SEC (5-1), Pac 10 (5-0). Don’t be fooled by that 14-4 record, I can’t really brag about my predictions from last week. Nothing terribly surprising happened and even when I got the predictions right, I whiffed on the margin (Auburn keeping it close against LSU? Pssshaw.)
Bad calls: I was feeling pretty [...]

Prem-i-er Stomp: Your Weekly EPL Preview

That picture will make sense in a minute.  Or maybe it won’t, I don’t care.  I’m only here for me anyway.  So, to the footy this weekend!

College! Knowledge! Football, week eight.

The beauty of college football – and the reason it’s so difficult to predict these games – is that every week, someone is going to get beaten by a team that has no business beating them. It’s going to happen. It’s just impossible to say who that’s going to be. No one in their right [...]

Prem-i-er Stomp: Your EPL Weekend Preview

First, a couple thoughts on our beloved red-white-and-blue.  Actually, it’s not a couple thoughts, it’s a couple words.  We’re. F#cked.  Without Davies the US loses a pacey scoring threat — which they almost have next to none of — and Oguchi Onweyu was the only competent cog in a very leaky backline.  Though he’ll probably [...]
