Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For; It’s Time To Retire Rachel Alexandra

GRID IRON…Matt Leinart is really making a mess of things in Arizona. Stomping his feet and pouting, the about-to-be-cut QB has demanded Coach Ken Whisenhunt explain why he is not being named the Cardinals starter. Leinart believes he outplayed Derek Anderson in camp; a view shared by, uh, no one…
…the reeling Dallas Cowboys, plagued by [...]

A Tonic for the Troops

GRID IRON…the Sporting News flatly predict the “Big Three” of NFL quarterbacks (Manning, Brady, Brees) will expand to a “Big Four”  in 2010 with Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers achieving entry into that elite club…
…it’s looking increasingly likely that Donovan McNab will miss the Washington Sept 12thopener against Dallas. That comes as a relief for “Suicide [...]

Toney Did Not Do Well

Never do this, never post while hammered at a bar. I’m here at The Rail with all my mates and they’ve turned into a howling pack of vicious animals, tearing my clothing and beating me to a bloody, embarrassed pulp.
My right arm is hanging limp, and I’m soaking my cracked facial skin with filthy napkins [...]

That Three Legged Hamster

Okay, brothers and sister gather round (guitar strumming in the background). We’re going to do some singing today, and some remembering. See, a little while ago, in a place called Ireland, a little angel was sent to us. A hamster, tiny and deformed…yes, children the poor little soul had only three legs and was the [...]

UFC Siren Call; Put On Panties and Roll Around With Other Men. Yuck.

GRID IRON…I don’t know how good the aging New England Patriots will be this year, but it is clear that Tom Brady is a man on a mission. Whether he’s disgruntled at being usurped in the headlines by young guns like Drew Brees and Matt Schaub, or just embarrassed after some genuinely timid displays last [...]

Pondering Tony S and Hitch 22

RANDOM…surely I’m not the only one who can see how talentless Katy Perry is? After her appearance on the last Grammy’s I presumed her career was over. She was devoid of rhythm, tuneless, unappealing and the custodian of regurgitated schlock. In the interim what has changed? Her music has become worse…
…I’ve cracked open the complete Soprano’s [...]

Randy Couture Hopes Win Saturday Will Allow Move To Classier Homeless Shelter

GRID IRON…Aaron Rodgers is 24 of 27 in pre-season. Think the Green Bay Packers are going to lose twice to Minnesota this year? The Vikes, by the way, are apparently sniffing around San Diego holdout Vincent Jackson. The receivers demand for 50 million over ten years, however, makes the Bolt a non-starter for most franchises…
…bit [...]

Cutler Struggling with Concept of Avoiding Guys On The Other Team

GRID IRON…the 2010 pre-season is far more interesting than previous incarnations. We’re all starving for action, and it is possible to read too much into games that are of little or no meaning, but still, here’s what caught my eye thus far;
Jay Cutler is lost at sea while attempting to learn the Mike Martz system [...]

Yeah, Last Night The Rail Really Sucked

The Funny Or Die site has a great video up at the moment, one that features the singer Jewel going undercover at a karaoke bar. Dressed in disguise as the homely “Karen”, from frozen foods no less, the singer catches a large gathering unaware with a spectacular set. Mouths drop, eyes tear up, revellers dance [...]

California Gurl KO’s Margarito

GRID IRON…San Diego left tackle Marcus McNeil met with Charger management yesterday. It is critical for the team to get hold-out McNeil back in the fold. The Pro Bowler is the most important player on the Chargers offense, outside of Phillip Rivers, and the team’s chance of a meaningful post season rest squarely on their [...]
