The main headlines of Tuesday’s Champions League will be Lionel Messi scoring his first for PSG. But fuck that, Messi scores every goddamn day. The real story is FC Sheriff, from a country that kind of doesn’t exist, in their first Champions League campaign ever, just beat Real Madrid in the Bernabeu 2-1 on this… […]
It’s a Trash Talking Tuesday, and today I’m trashing all those NFL fans who still don’t respect Eli Manning’s career. Read more…
It’s always strange, as a forever-doomed Bears fan, to comment on Packers fans bitching about the one call in 3, 000 they didn’t get. Which didn’t matter anyway, because the Packers ended up winning, 30-28 , when the particular 49ers decided that 59 minutes of man-coverage was enough and to let Davante Adams run free […]

A little off the beaten path, especially at this time of year, but this weekend sees two international competitions on these shores. First up is the Ryder Cup, which is fun for non-golf fans as everyone can enjoy watching stuffy-ass golfers having their sphincter close up tighter than a snare drum when they’re playing… Read […]
The Carolina Panthers are back, y’all. Be it by popular or unpopular demand, this team looks good. Former third overall pick Sam Darnold looks like a professional football player in his first two starts for the Panthers. A change of scenery — namely, getting the hell away from the New York Jets — seems to […]
