Turkey Bowl Trash Talk
/64 Comments/in Football, Trash Talk/by bmazThink I’ve recounted this in some previous year, but bmaz the younger and friends used to have a yearly Turkey Bowl football game on Thanksgiving mornings. Always at one or another local high school field. They were theoretically flag games, but the contact was full and real. And the alcohol was flowing because, well, it […]
Is It Russian Or Is It Real?
/53 Comments/in 2020 Presidential Election, Congress, Fuckstickery/by bmazIs It Russian Or Is It Real? This is a question only humans with a sentient brain can answer. An equation that clearly leaves out Matt Taibbi, Senators Graham and Kennedy (not to be confused with the good Senator Kennedys). This Kennedy is an assclown. So, when you decide what the Russians are doing, constantly, […]
Cowboys and Patriots Trash Talk
/98 Comments/in Football, Trash Talk/by bmazThis from the extremely good Tom Curran is right: The Cowboys have won three of their past four after a three-game losing streak that included a humiliating defeat by the Jets (!!!!!?????). Dak Prescott last week ripped the Lions apart, going 29 of 46 for 444 yards and three touchdowns. It was the third time […]
Too Roger Stoned Trash Talk
/114 Comments/in Football, Formula One, Law, Trash Talk/by bmazAs you may have heard, Roger Stone was convicted on all counts yesterday. Marcy’s post is here. A jury still deliberating on a Thursday is one thing, but they like to get the fuck out of Dodge by a Friday afternoon, and this one did. Predictable. Not necessarily shocked they rendered verdicts of guilty on […]
Trash Talk
/141 Comments/in Football, Trash Talk/by bmazSo, in a bit of frivolity, Pete T and Jim White tried to get me to feature the Mike Huckabee Band for Trash Talk. That is just not going to happen. And, yes, there may have been a bit of extra attention paid to Little Feat lately. Sorry! I set out to publish the Trash […]
Rubber Biscuit Trash Talk
/81 Comments/in Football, Formula One, Trash Talk/by bmazEh, late start here. Been tied up on Twitter reading and discussing the FOIA doc dump obtained and published by Jason Leopold and Anthont Cormier of Buzzfeed. Check Marcy’s Twitter feed and other posts here for that, it is….something. Somehow or another in the process we got off on Blues Brothers lyrics, so that is […]
Gorey Trash Talk
/86 Comments/in Football, Trash Talk/by bmazHalloween is upon us! So some Gore is in order. No, not that kind, you ghouls, the Frank Gore kind. With 134 more yards, Frank will move ahead of Barry Sanders and into third place on the all time NFL rushing list. That is saying something, and when he does, either this Sunday or next, […]
Krewe du Boo Trash Talk
/97 Comments/in Football, Infrastructure, Trash Talk/by bmazOkay, another late start to Trash. Now if you have not heard, there is some bad bongos in Nawlins. The Hard Rock Hotel (not just a restaurant, this thing was to be huge), has collapsed in what will be an insanely huge liability claim for about thirty different fronts. People have died and their bodies […]
Clemson Up Huge; People Losing Their Shit Over A Kicker
/42 Comments/in Football, Formula One, Trash Talk/by bmazTrash talk is late. I had some serious home maintenance issues here in the Cactus Patch, other distracting things, and a bunch of dopes that thought references to Louise Mensch and her band of crackpots might be fair content on this blog. Let’s reinforce one immutable concept: If you are referring to Louise Mensch, or […]
