Joseph Schooling & Beating Your Heroes

Alex_Demote - February 27, 2023February 27, 2023

We're about 14 months away from the 2024 Olympics in Paris. For me, this means the hype train is well underway. The only thing above football in the world of sports for me is the Olympics, and I can't get enough of the narratives that build and break around the

Sweet mother of god, it’s Tuesday already. The never ending holiday of angry traffic and wet socks took place over what seemed like a 13 day week. Then the “new year” and my own birth anniversary a week later. There’s more birthdays next week and then the flower holiday and

Dear sweet heavenly Jeebus, all the results went against me today. I even told Litre to bet the house on Saints at the half...and forgot to follow my own advice. So, I am tilted in addition to the rage. Six MOAR months until we get so much as pre-season exhibitions. How

I've decided to switch up the format of Sexy Friday a little bit. Change is good. Go with me here. One reason is that I've found that I need a space to put some stuff out there that doesn't fall into the traditional post categories. I've done serials with tWBS,

I've greatly enjoyed the Olympics. I think I've enjoyed them more because the coverage is more focused on the action itself instead of all the hoopla around it. I haven't seen one story about sex in the Olympic Village and I'm really happy about that. Which brings me

Nature Abhors a Vacuum: Tuesday Evening Open Thread Edition

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem - August 3, 2021August 3, 2021

Tuesdays suck. Summer Tuesdays suck more, because it stays light out FOREVER, making Wednesday seem all the more distant. But God forbid you do something fun, because you have three more days of adulting you have to get through. Going to a 4 weekday-3 weekend system would boost the GDP

I'll be honest. I've got nothing for this week. I thought I had something and then the week went by in a flash and now it's 4 PM Pacific on Sexy Friday and I'm typing out my thoughts on the keyboard ahead of post time at 5 PM Pacific. Beerguyrob had a
