...AND OVER HERE: JOHN TOLOS: MY INDEPENDENT OBITUARY
http://mcarlson-andoverhere.blogspot.com/2009/07/john-tolos-my-independent-obituary.html
Wednesday, 1 July 2009. JOHN TOLOS: MY INDEPENDENT OBITUARY. At the risk of being thought when Freddie Blassie would have called a 'pencil-neck geek', let me mention that my obituary of John Tolos, 'The Golden Greek' is in today's Independent. It provides a sequel to the one of Blassie I did for the Indy six years ago; you can find that one here. That's Tolos in the photo on the right, working over Classy Freddie in a cage. 1 July 2009 at 12:54. 18 November 2009 at 22:09. View my complete profile.

...AND OVER HERE: REVERSING THE RED SOX CURSE (or THOSE WHOM THE GODS WOULD DESTROY, THEY FIRST LET PICK UP STRIPPERS)
http://mcarlson-andoverhere.blogspot.com/2008/07/reversing-curse.html
Tuesday, 8 July 2008. REVERSING THE RED SOX CURSE (or THOSE WHOM THE GODS WOULD DESTROY, THEY FIRST LET PICK UP STRIPPERS). This isn't like Nuke LaLoosh desperately seeking Susan Sarandon (oh wait, she married Tim Robbins, so it IS! 8220;It was killing me and I felt bad after,” Houlihan said. “I’m not a bad person. I know how it feels to be cheated on, it sucks. But a couple of drinks later, I didn’t notice all that much, to tell you the truth.”. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

...AND OVER HERE: MC--LOCAL HERO?
http://mcarlson-andoverhere.blogspot.com/2009/02/mc-local-hero.html
Monday, 16 February 2009. Whether or not you find their statistical analysis compelling. And apparently there was some ballot-stuffing from Seattle; though not from the UK! Perhaps that had something to do with it being a good day for Carlsons: Seattle's rookie tight end John 'no relation' Carlson was voted the NFL's most underrated offensive player.

...AND OVER HERE: THE FRUSTRATIONS OF RUGBY: WALES BEATS ENGLAND
http://mcarlson-andoverhere.blogspot.com/2009/02/frustrations-of-rugby-wales-beats.html
Sunday, 15 February 2009. THE FRUSTRATIONS OF RUGBY: WALES BEATS ENGLAND. So watching yesterday's rugby match in Cardiff I felt a slight sympathy for the English (and great sympathy for Martin Johnson). But with the prissy Jonathan Kaplan referring, many of the things. In fact, if Americans prefer their referees to resemble lawyers (if not judges) the English sports demand they be schoolmasters. But when Lee Byrne cynically took out Delon Armitage's legs while he was in midair fielding a high kick, a bla...

Tuesday, 7 April 2009. MIKE ON RADIO FIVE: HOLD THE MAYO, EXTRA MURRAY. I'll be appearing on Radio Five's Simon Mayo programme tomorrow (Wed, 8 April) at about 3:15pm to talk about American sports in this country. Colin Murray will be sitting in for Simon, so expect some of the fun and games of the old Channel Five NFL all-nighters (though not much!

Tuesday, 10 March 2009. AND HERE'S TO YOU MRS. MYERSON: Julie Battles Light Literary Incontinence. My modest observations on the British media 'controversy' over Julie Myerson's using her son's drug problems, and her banishing him from the family home, as a device in her new book, have been posted over at Irresistible Targets, here.

Friday, 6 March 2009. GOING COAST TO COAST AGAIN. The first installment of 2009's Coast To Coast column is up now at nfluk.com, you can find it here. It's not like he had to make weight. Maybe he gets a bonus if he's under 365? Anyway, unless the NFL starts testing for BBQ, Grady should be OK for the 2009 season. Labels: Coast To Coast. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

...AND OVER HERE: UNIVERSITY CHALLENGE REDUX: WHICH TEAM WON?
http://mcarlson-andoverhere.blogspot.com/2009/03/university-challenge-redux-which-team.html
Monday, 2 March 2009. UNIVERSITY CHALLENGE REDUX: WHICH TEAM WON? Kay was a student when CCO's first two matches were taped, then graduated and took his job. So each time in the remaining shows, when he said he was 'reading' or 'studying' he must have meant he was doing that on his own time at home. Reminds me of Boris Rankov, who was still rowing for Dan Topolski's Oxford crews even though he was palpably a teacher, not a student. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). GOING COAST TO COAST AGAIN.
