Some interesting outcomes in yesterday's various fixtures. In Euro 2024 qualifying, the huge shock was the thorough thrashing #120 Azerbaijan gave #23 Sweden, 3-0. Was also surprised by the 2-2 draw between Scotland (#34) and Georgia (#76). Then I saw that Napoli's Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored...

One fourth of the way through the season. Looking like Philly and KC could well be facing each other in this year's Super Bowl as well. Can't believe Cincy's slow start, or the fact that my Steelers are 3-2 despite having an awful offense

I'm back! Excited about this upcoming season, but also a fair amount of trepidation. Erik Karlsson was a big swing. Will it be worth it? I sure hope so. The problem is, even with the "big three" back, it's an aging group and I'm not sure what kind of "kick" they'll have for the stretch run. And...

After a few surprises in the third round (take a bow Lincoln City, Gillingham, the Albion and Blackburn), the fourth round fixture list was just released. Highlight is easily the two giants of the last five years, Man City and Liverpool, being drawn to meet at the Etihad.

It's been a little discouraging to see that the negotiations between the players and management have gone so poorly. Of course, management is doing their best to paint this as an "unreasonable player" problem when it's anything but. But I digress. Here's the latest, a few days after the puppet...

New year, new thread. For those beloved artists (music, television, film, etc.) who have left us in 2022.

Thought I'd keep this separate. Want to be able to read the actual other news stories. Just saw this: Daryl Dike is back in England. He signed a 4.5 year deal with West Brom today.

I'm constantly on the lookout for new, interesting music to listen to, whether by new(er) artists or new stuff by artists that are more established. Thought this could be a thread to share those interests. Who knows? Maybe you'll find something new to listen to and enjoy. Rock, pop, R&B...

Thinking I should post this for the latest updates on the team's up and downs as far as injuries, recalls and demotions, etc.
