Week 7 Newsletter: Viva la Nordecke
At the end of last year’s Week 7 Newsletter, I included a note about the Columbus Crew and how their fans were about to lose their team. Their jackass owner, Anthony Precourt, has been trying to force the franchise to move to Austin, TX for essentially bullshit reasons, including and “outdated stadium,” Columbus not being…

Week 6 Newsletter: Face the Pain
A benefit of going on a trip to three different countries was that I had a theme for three straight weeks. While recovering from my epic overseas toilet tour (turns out I had this), I realized, “Oh shit (no pun intended), I have to actually come up with a theme this week!” I had absolutely no…

Week 5 Newsletter: I Saw Messi Play
Greetings from Sacramento! Yep, I have returned to the U.S. in one piece (mostly). Since the last newsletter, I flew to Barcelona and spent a few days doing all sorts of things: shitting my guts out from food poisoning I got in Casablanca, seeing the Sagrada Familia, shiting my guts out, striding down La Rambla,…

Week 4 Newsletter: Marrakesh Express
Well, I would be on a Marrakesh express had the stupid ticket website accepted my phone number as valid. Whatever. Flying works, too. Anyway, greetings from Casablanca! I’m in the city everyone knows only from the Humphrey Bogart film! Yes, I am eating at Rick’s Cafe tomorrow. Anyway, I’ve gone from the freezing yet enjoyable…

Week 3 Newsletter: The Home of Real Football
Greetings from Seattle! I’m trying to kill a four-hour layover surrounded by annoying Seahawks fans/depressed Mariners fans, which I guess are one and the same. In a little bit, I’ll get on another plane and head somewhere a little bit colder: England! Specifically, Manchester. I’m starting my latest international excursion by spending a couple of…

Week 2 Newsletter: Stick This in Your Trophy Case
As soon as I hit send on last week’s newsletter, I got a notification on my phone about the passing of legendary actor Burt Reynolds. The 82-year-old died Thursday in his Florida home after going into cardiac arrest. Reynolds had iconic performances in a multitude of films, so much so that if you haven’t seen…

Week 1 Newsletter: The Sunny Side of Football Season
After months and months of waiting, our long national nightmare is finally over! After controversies, discussions, new additions, and plenty of hype, our favorite past time has returned! Season 13 of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia premiered last night! It was, in typical Always Sunny fashion, entertaining, clever, and hilarious. We’ve got weeks more of awesome content to come…

Week 17 Newsletter: Heroes, Heartbreak, and History
(cue theme music) I’ve paid my dues (unlike some of you)… time after time… After a long, long season… I’ve done my sentence… but committed no crime… Filled with ups and downs and plenty of injuries… And bad mistakes… I’ve made a few… And a few questionable waiver wire pickups… I’ve had my share of sand…

Week 16 Newsletter: Winter Has Come
It’s fucking cold outside, the days are as short as they can be, and annoying music is playing on a loop. But, we’ve got some good ‘ol fashioned football to keep us all warm during the winter. Plus, you know, all of that holiday spirit and family time and presents and shit. One more week…
