No beach balls were involved in todays Liverpool loss
As I write this Liverpool is heading into extra time with Reading in their FA Cup replay. The same Reading that lost in the Championship promotion playoffs last season and now sits near the bottom of the Championship table. Sure Liverpool was leading going into the 90th minute when a “dodgy” penalty was called (is there ever a 90th minute penalty that isn’t dodgy?) but last season you would have expected Liverpool to have handled this one 3-0. A lot changes in a year, for example:
- Newcastle doesn’t suck anymore, they won their FA Cup tie 3-0 against Plymouth, and look like they’ll be back in the EPL next season.
- The Seattle Seahawks had a brand new coach they’d been grooming for a little while, he’s gone and now some new guy is coming in.
- Lane Kiffin was just joining Tennessee as the head coach about a year ago, and now people are rioting because their 7-6 coach that lost a bowl game is leaving?
- Former deadspin commenter CPSL was regailing everyone with stories of his failed attempts to find a girl, well now he’s GETTING MARRIED?! (congrats man!)
On a much more serious note, I’m sure everyone has heard about what’s going on in Hati, and EDSBS has a great set of links to get informed and donate if you’re so inclined.
finally as a self serving bit of something, if you’re so inclined go ahead and submit a question for our beer and footie mailbag. It doesn’t matter how silly the questions, I’ll answer them. Answers should come out tomorrow.
Go forth and comment, I’d leave you with some music, but I messed that up last week, and I’m confident I’ll mess it up again, but if I must, I’d suggest you check out whatever you can find from Yeasayer’s upcoming album.
I will however leave you with a picture of a hot chick…
Tasty.
Hey all.
Hey you. What’s shakin?
Nothing. Beat from work, wishing there was a timeline you could read Twitter conversations because this Maria Soliz thing was pretty funny…aherm…mean and cruel and racist.
And how are you, Princess of the Late Night Blogging?
Me? hahahahaaa!
Playing Gin online. I got no work done today due to a bad headache – dumb games are about all I can handle right now.
Playing Gin or drinking Gin?
I’m actually quite partial to the iPhone scrabble game Words with Friends but I’m waiting on GD Gimp to make a move.
I miss CPSL and his stories. Now that he finally found a lady what is my excuse
You’re too classy to order one through the mail?
You don’t have as much money as he does?
The second one is true. I’ll wait a few years before I comment on the first one.
hahaha, ouch, Martin!
Al Sharpton makes me SICK. That fucker has announced he is going to Haiti to “help”. Tell ya what, asshole, send in a big chunk of change to the Red Cross, and stay the fuck out of there – they don’t need you in the way, you overblown old windbag. You know damn well you’re incapable of rendering medical aid, and you’re too old to do physical labor. We see right through you – you’re not helping them by going, you’re trying to help your public image.
\sorry, rant over.
Al Sharpton can help me by swallowing some Drain-O
HA! Hell, I’ll even put some food coloring and sweetener in it, if it’ll help make him take it. I’ll even splurge for the Dixie cups with the riddles on them!
Cause what they need is one more person eating more of the food they don’t have and taking up space in warm shelters that aren’t standing. Arrogant, self-indulgent, jackass.
I’m not sure I understand all the UoT hate for Kiffin. I dont’ remember them thinking he was all that when he was hired, and thought when he moved to USC it would be more of a “good riddance” feeling then this “Iranian Assault on the Embassy, 1979″.
Which dates me…cause I think Sculptor was all of ten years old when that happened…and the rest of you, not so much that even.
In 1979, my mom was graduating high school.
I had my first cell phone in 8th grade, year 2000. Weird for you? My robot mows my lawn now.
Wow, someone else around here old enough to fart dust? COOL.
I was in high school. Here’s a dollar, go mow my lawn.
Seriously, you wake up one day and go “WTF? I’m not 27 anymore?”
CPSL/doktakra just told us all on twitter yesterday that he and shortmichelle are engaged, by the way. So congrats again, wherever you are.
Now, where the hell is my lager?
Whoa, nellie! That was FAST!
\passes virtual porter (sorry, I’m out of lager)
Love the Sam Adams “winter” porter, by the way, the one that comes in the Christmas/Winter case. Forget the name, but hoo boy, it’s tasty.
Yeah, it’s not bad. I’m spoiled though, and have some Great Lakes Christmas Ale still hanging about. And about three or four random porters (tis the season).
Memo to shortmichelle: Never trust a guy that has never heard “Sister Christian.”
It seems SO weird to see Saku Koivu in those god-awful Minnesota Wild uni’s. Ugh. Come back to Les Bleus, Blanc et Rouge, Saku!
Just purchased my tickets to UFC111 in Newark, New Jersey. My first live MMA event since Kimbo v. Ray Mercer.
Newark? Oh, that’ll be loads of fun.
Yeah it’s a great card. The area is shitty but I’m going with a militia of 8 other Long Islanders. I’m sure we’ll “fist pump” a guido or two after watching George St.Pierre break Hardy’s face.
Oh, you’re bringing backup. Good planning.
Are y’all gonna wear your hair all tall and shit, with tons of cologne and axle grease? You know, to blend in?
My name is Lt. Logic and I’m putting together a special team, and I need me eight soldiers. Eight Irish-American soldiers. Now, y’all might’ve heard rumors about the armada happening soon. Well, we’ll be leaving a little earlier. We’re gonna be dropped into Newark, dressed as civilians. And once we’re in enemy territory, as a bushwhackin’ guerrilla army, we’re gonna be doin’ one thing and one thing only… killin’ Guidos. Now, I don’t know about y’all, but I sure as hell didn’t come down from the goddamn Smoky Mountains, cross five thousand miles of water, fight my way through half of Trenton and jump out of a fuckin’ air-o-plane to teach the Guidos lessons in humanity. Guido ain’t got no humanity. They’re the foot soldiers of a Freedom-hatin’, mass murderin’ maniacal culture and they need to be dee-stroyed. That’s why any and every every son of a bitch we find wearin’ a Guido uniform, they’re gonna die. Now, I’m the direct descendant of the mountain man Jim Bridger. That means I got a little Injun in me. And our battle plan will be that of an Apache resistance. We will be cruel to the Guidos, and through our cruelty they will know who we are. And they will find the evidence of our cruelty in the disemboweled, dismembered, and disfigured bodies of their brothers we leave behind us. And the Guido won’t not be able to help themselves but to imagine the cruelty their brothers endured at our hands, and our boot heels, and the edge of our knives. And the Guido will be sickened by us, and the Guido will talk about us, and the Guido will fear us. And when the Guido closes their eyes at night and they’re tortured by their subconscious for the evil they have done, it will be with thoughts of us they are tortured with. Sound good?

Over/under on Jersey Shore “stars” who get camera time at this event: 3. I take the over.
Have a good time watching GSP make Hardy look like a rank amateur in the main event.
Thanks. I’m almost more excited for Mir v. Carwin because it’s almost like if I went to to see the New York Giants play Midwood Highschool. Yeah, it’s cool seeing my favorite team…But it’s going to be a murder.
This could have been a good setup for a joke about the Giants last 2 games, but I’m a Skins fan, and therefore have no leg to stand on. Carry on.
Yeah at first, I was going to write Giants v. Rams but I thought that score would be too close.
Ya know, I can’t watch the show. I fucking LIVE here – I see these clowns everywhere, I sure as shit don’t want it on my telly.
That, and Leverage is on (and I missed this episode, and the new season starts at 10)
is that the con-artist show?
Yo fuck bubblers.
Y’know, I would post something pithy here, but I just read ogic’s opus up there and I am too busy wiping away these tears. Can’t follow that. Well done sir. Well done.
/slow clap
Make that “Logic,” Ogic’s big brother.
Dunno whut happened there, oy, sorry.
/tips hat
Caps goalie Michael Neuvirth has now gotten pulled for the second straight night against a team from Florida. Grrrrrrrrr.
@Logic
That was well played above. Bra. Vo.
Ty Burrell needs to win something for Modern Family.
and did anyone check out Blue Mountain State?
Evening Last Callers, I need some information about a company. I applied for job with Jet blue and they want me to come in for an interview. I was wondering if any of you fine people know anyone who has worked for them and what they are like to work for.
Can’t help ya there. Sorry. Perhaps some of the other NYC area peeps knows?
Peter King likes their free wireless on flights.
/alls I gots
Huh. I heard Peter King just likes free nuts.
Tosh.0 is back!
Logic, I can’t make it to Newark to cut up Guidos, but I’d like to start my own unit in Minnesota. Can you send an officer? I’ll have 8 Irish-Americans before sunrise tomorrow, sir.
Good evening, kids.
I’ll send McBear
see what I did there?
Evening all. I just got back from the hospital…I attempted to drown myself after the Crennel news.
I mean seriously…What. The. Fuck. My guess is that in the next few days we’ll be signing Drew Bledsoe.
Hey Tawmmy from Quiznee…next stop Arthur Bryant’s!
Could be worse, could have Sheridan…
No, it really couldn’t be worse. We’re stockpiling failed NE coaches. It’s only a matter of time before we’ve hired Mangini (I’m sure we’ll trade Cleveland our first round pick for Mangini and some shiny tinfoil) too.
Jesus fucking Christ…it wasn’t enough that we had to suffer through that assclown Herm Edwards. No…now we’ve got to bring on Weis and Crennel.
I’m wandering in the fucking wilderness out here.
I think Weis and Crennel are proven coordinators, it’s Haley that is the one in the unproven position.
Don’t try to talk me out of it. They WERE proven coordinators…under an excellent head coach and a strong organization. Then they went off and failed miserably as the head men…and now they’re coordinators again, for an organization that doesn’t have a clue and a head coach with worse anger issues than me.
I heard Rod Rust and Dick MacPherson were about to get coaching jobs in KC. Congratulations.
Actually I hear Lane Kiffin is about to be signed as QB coach. The homies in South Central are gonna be really pissed.
BTW…you know your team is fucked when you’re looking longingly at Brett Favre and Brad Childress. Welcome to the life of a KC fan.
I’m sorry. If you want Childress, you can have him.
Ya know…the B-2s are just up the road at Whitman. Let’s just roll one of those fuckers in and drop a B-83 on Arrowhead.
