This week, *** Round 9 The Round started in Adelaide in what was expected to be a blowout. What was not expected were the rainy conditions that typically spell out a close low-scoring game. Well, we got both a low-scoring game AND a blowout. 63-26 to the Crows in a game that really

ballsofsteelandfury - May 20, 2018May 20, 2018

You may remember my post about Spain from last year: Link That tells you pretty much all I want to tell you about Spain The Country. This post will actually focus pretty heavily on Spain The Team. Why? Because Spain is one of the five teams I think have a realistic shot to

So, yesterday I left work a little early and caught a 4:00 PM showing of Deadpool 2 at my local mall/multiplex. There are a lot of things to unwrap: I paid $20 USD for a fucking movie ticket at fucking 4:00 PM! Granted, it was a Dolby cinema with fully

If you think i'm going to fill this preview with pictures of hot Russian girls that may or may not have peed on various heads of state, including our own President, you know me quite well. There will be some fútbol, of course, but let's face it, not even the Russian

Before we begin, obligatory: Lazy, yes, but do you really think I'm going to pass up a chance to show you Susanna Hoffs in a skimpy outfit? Fuck and no. Damn, she can still get it. Speaking of, can the Egyptian National Team get it in the World Cup? "It" being, of course,
