NFL Notes: Stephen Tulloch was cut by the Lions Tuesday. He was kept on the active roster until he passed a physical, at which point he was released. (This move cost $500K towards Detroit's 2016 cap.) If nothing else, it proves that you can't discount the effect of the double-check.

Before I begin, I just wanted to complain about how hot it is in my apartment. When the sun sets, it's facing my apartment windows making my apartment from 8PM onwards hot as balls. It's almost midnight here and it's 28 Celsius (that's 82.4 Fahrenheit). The heat just sits in

Good morning! I have Wednesday off and my wife generously bought me a couple of bottles of Hungarian wine to watch the Hungary/Portugal match. Hungary actually makes pretty good wine. They're known more for their dessert wine, but, their regular wine is also quite nice. Now that I know Hungary has

Good morning everyone. Before I get started, I just found out that I have been invited to speak at a Refugee conference in Poland. That's pretty super! I can't wait to go over there and stuff myself with all those beefy Polish sausages. They look so delicious, I won't be able

Senor Weaselo - June 13, 2016

As I hope we all know because we're smarter than average bears here, Italy is that country in southern Europe that looks like a giant boot. So naturally they'd be pretty decent at the kicking sport, with four World Cups (last in 2006) and a European championship to their name.
