God Bless Ted Nugent


Jesus, I love this country.

Not in the “Love It Or Leave It” nationalistic madman sense, but I really have a deep appreciation for how awesome America is. Sure, our leadership is a mess, and we don’t care about anything of substance, and we have a million problems.

But you can turn on just about any shower faucet in this country and hot water comes out. You can turn on most any TV and find out if your baseball team won a game, and what laws Ron Mexico is currently in violation of (hell, I was in Mexico and I had no idea until Cecil gave me the heads-up). And we have vast quantities of readily available, affordable food that will give you a solid bowel movement the next morning.

Don’t get me wrong, I love me some travel, expecially the international jet-setting my lofty financial setting affords me. But when it comes to the business of being a sports fan (and pooping), I’ll take the good old U.S. of A.

This gives me the opportunity to also say Fuck Canada. My virulent bias against that nation knows no bounds, and I’ve held back long enough. Canada, I hate you and all you stand for. Even if my stupid government lacks the balls to engage in the easily winnable war to overtake your vast resources, I am launching verbal salvos via the House of Georges’ weapons of ass destruction. No longer will your ham/bacon and God-awful music go unpunished.

Enjoy your draft coverage—I’ll remain on the sidelines and leave it to the experts.

My Home is Colorado, with its Proud Mountains Tall


(Apologies to the estate of Townes Van Zandt for the title.)

The Coloradans at HoG--and we're a majority--dearly love to encounter like minded locals on this thing you call the electromagraphic data micro-delivery system...otherwise known as the internet. So how excited were we to find some fellows?

Very, very excited. Very excited indeed. Very.

Although I fear this juiced-up crotch rocket of a fan site might whip past us on the info superhighway like we were my mom in an NPR haze, I have to applaud them for their devotion to the finest teams, fans and venues in American sport. You go, Homers. Make us all proud.

Besides, anyone that uses Sam Perkins' name in the same sentence as Linas Kleiza's is OK in my book. Read more
