World Cup Previews: England

The Maestro - June 7, 2018June 5, 2018

I'm fully prepared for disappointment once again as a fan of England football; however, at least this year's edition of failure might well come with a slight dash of hope beforehand this time. The 2014 World Cup was one of the worst outings ever for the national team; a single point

CFL Beat: West Division Preview

The Maestro - June 7, 2018June 7, 2018

We're now just a week away from the kickoff to the 2018 CFL season! Last week, I previewed the four teams from the CFL's East Division - Hamilton, Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto; this week I'll be bringing you a quick overview of each of the five West Division teams. Reminder

The Maestro - May 31, 2018May 31, 2018

Another year, another set of team previews! As per usual, this week features the four East Division teams, while next week features the five teams of the West Division. If you'd like to study up before making your picks in this year's [DFO] CFL Pick 'Em Pool, I highly recommending

CFL Beat: Your 2018 Season Overview

The Maestro - May 24, 2018November 20, 2018

Hello all - after almost six months away, the CFL Beat makes its glorious return this week! I'm looking forward to another year of covering the ridiculous sport of Canadian football for all of you; the season kicks off earlier than ever this year, with Week 1 games starting on

Coach Carroll’s Weird Mysteries: The Nazca Lines

The Maestro - May 17, 2018May 17, 2018

Well, folks, it's the end of the line for me here. I've enjoyed my time gallivanting across the world, doing my best to discover hidden secrets and expose the deep-state globalist cabal, but other duties are calling me as the weather warms up and great minds turn their attention back

Coach Carroll’s Weird Mysteries: The Ourang Medan

The Maestro - May 10, 2018May 8, 2018

So I seriously had my hands full this week. Turns out that even with oversized tires, it's hard to drive a VW bus on water. Who knew? I was bummed to have to leave the Mystery Machine behind this week, taking a series of flights and cruise ships instead, but

Coach Carroll’s Weird Mysteries: The Mystery of Bimini Road

The Maestro - May 3, 2018May 2, 2018

So we had a draft the other day or something. I dunno. Schneids is pissing me off lately. Keeps saying he's too busy to come on adventures with me, and has to "start planning minicamp" or some shit. Ha! Doesn't he know that the trick to a good minicamp is

Coach Carroll’s Weird Mysteries: The Kaikoura Lights

The Maestro - April 26, 2018April 25, 2018

I've got some bad juju, folks. I just know it. I'm always on edge before the draft. I dunno what it is about the draft, but I'm certain that the league's conspiring against me. The coffee always tastes weird. The bedsheets in the hotel always have a corner flipped up.

Coach Carroll’s Weird Mysteries: The Hinterkaifeck Murders

The Maestro - April 19, 2018April 19, 2018

So I had some bad luck this week - Mystery Machine broke down. Because it's a legacy Volkswagen model, and because all the goddamn Pacific Northwest hippies don't seem to wanna share their spare transmission parts, I had to get myself to Germany to get her all repaired. Fortunately for

Coach Carroll’s Weird Mysteries: The Flannan Isles Lighthouse

The Maestro - April 12, 2018April 11, 2018

I don't know, men. I just don't know. Sometimes your head goes to places where things just stop making sense after a while. You get so perplexed. You think there's something more... and you're so close to figuring it out... and yet it still... doesn't... work... anyways, enough about the

Coach Carroll’s Weird Mysteries: The Tunguska Event

The Maestro - April 5, 2018April 4, 2018

Talk about an explosive off-season! With all of the trades going on leading into the draft, it's been hard to keep track of things sometimes. While everyone's most notably fixated on the Rams right now, I have to say, I was more intrigued by Jason Pierre-Paul headed to Tampa Bay.

Coach Carroll’s Weird Mysteries: The Jeannette DePalma Murder

The Maestro - March 29, 2018March 25, 2018

I had some East Coast business to attend to this past week; my staff were busy checking out some basketball players in the NIT for me... I'm hoping to sign some of them to contracts. To help our O-line, of course. All the same, while scouting was happening at Madison
