The Vig

Middlesbrough 8 - 1 Man City
Even Derby, as bad as they are, has only given up a maximum of six goals this season.  Granted, they did it three times, but still.
If this is how Sven responds to the speculation, then good riddance.

Arizona Cardinals: They seem to be getting B-pluses for their draft yesterday. I still don’t get the Dominique Rogers-Cromarte thing. The Deion Sanders seal-of-approval is just too much for me to overcome. I wonder if they’ll come to regret not drafting Mendenhall and cutting Edge. We should know around week […]

Yes, that’s me in today’s Trib. The Butterbean story never seems to get old. And just when I think everyone has heard it, I run into another friend who hasn’t.
For the record, the guy who was shot survived. To this day I’ve never met him nor do I even know his name. […]

Portland Beavers: I feel terrible. I didn’t make it to a single game this home stand. Between two Blazer games, more on that in a sec, and the rain, I just didn’t make the time. I’ll do better this week. I promise. As for the week past, the Beavs […]

Springsteen: There’s not a lot to add that Jack hasn’t said already (Part 1, 2, 3). It probably escaped most folks’ notice, but Rose Garden Poo Bah Mike Scanlon was at the north entrance as fans entered the arena on Friday night. That guy runs a tight ship. Few details get […]

I may have been in a Codeine-induced haze for the better part of the weekend, but it didn’t keep me from somewhat paying attention.
Blazers: I had tickets to the game but ended up giving them to a co-worker. She also has my tickets to Wednesday night’s game against the Bulls. Friday, I […]

They’re replaying yesterday’s Sheffield United-Man City match on Fox Soccer Channel right now. On paper it should have been a fairly easy match for the Blues. Sheffield was relegated out of the Premiership last season and are mid-table in The Championship this season. Wheras Man City are fighting for a spot in […]

Blazers: Did I mention I picked up a ticket package a few weeks back? I gave a few of the seats away for Christmas and will no doubt be giving a few more out as things come up down the line. 20 games for $100 is a helluva deal. Yesterday’s game […]

Winter Hawks: If you’ve been thinking about attending a Hawks game this season but are unsure when to go, might I suggest Friday December 28th against the Moose Jaw Warriors. You can get your tickets here. Why do I recommend that game? Well, there’s the return of Fraser McLaren, which should […]
