What do people think of when they think of Spain? There is a reason I put all those pictures in that order. After all that delicious food, you're going to need a siesta. Spain is the land of my ancestors. Many of you know I was born in México but many of

Balls of Steel’s AFL Beat – Indigenous Round (10)
Did y'all like those cool ass guernseys? I dug blaxabbath's comment about the Western jumper so much I put it up as the banner quote. I'm still giggling about it. It is so true! This week, the AFL Beat is coming to you a day late since there was a
Auto Racing Holy Trinity Open Thread
This is probably the best day in the auto racing calendar. The day starts off with the Monaco Gran Prix which (/looks up polesitter) Daniel Ricciardo should win, continues with the 100th edition of the Indianapolis 500 (watch out for the gravy-related yellow flags) And then finishes with the NASCAR Coca Cola
Champions League Final Open Thread
Before you do anything, click play on this video: And now you know what the hell they are saying when you hear that song on Fox all day today. The pre-game show starts at 11 AM Pacific with kickoff around 11:45. As part of the fun, we get a special pre-game
Copa America Centenario Preview – Group C – Mexico
Mexico is the place of my birth.

El
Copa America Centenario Preview – Group C – Panama
Before anything, click play on this: The Canaleros, which is a nickname that sounds dirtier than it is (it means The Canal People), arrive to Copa America Centenario with pretty much the same squad that they have used for the 2018 World Cup qualifiers. The full roster is here: The head coach
Balls of Steel’s AFL Beat – Round 9
Collingwood beat us last year in a game they shouldn't have. They were coming off a big victory last week and we were feeling good about ourselves after winning the Patrick Dangerfield Bowl. It was a recipe for disaster. Oh well. My disappointment, other people's disappointments, a new AFL footballer to

Balls of Steel’s AFL Beat – Round 8
Fresh off last week's multi-faceted drama, the question was whether this Round could provide similar drama and surprises. The answer, a new AFL footballer to meet, a NEW GAMBLING GAME, and this week's results, coming up on Welcome To Balls of Steel's AFL Beat! In last week's preview, I mentioned that the
Balls of Steel’s AFL Beat – Round 7
Last week, I opened by referencing Temptation Island and showed a random picture of a movie called Number 96. I am, quite frankly, surprised that no one commented on the Fox show, which was, for the time, quite unusual and titillating (he he). Little did I know that the Number
