This one’s been on the back burner since it came out at the beginning of the World Cup but things didn’t improve as the games progressed. This Time the Swede Turns Nasty is a great article about the conflict between Club & Country and revolves around the dispute between Sir Alex (I use that [...]
I’ve been stewing about this one for awhile as a few locals can attest. I’ve had an article drafted but I’m going to turn my soapbox over to one Jeffrey Flanagan of the KC Star. I know someone there reads my site, based upon my webstats. The Star is my most reliable [...]

So folks, for those of you who are going to be in town Saturday, I thought I’d mention that my plans include taking in the Brazil vs France game at the Fox & Hound at 1:55 pm. Put down the rake, the paintbrush or whatever other project you are working on and come enjoy [...]
