Has anyone made a football-themed boogie mix? I don't have enough songs for a solid mix yet but maybe with help from readers we can put one together. Here is one quality track recorded by five members of the San Diego Chargers in 1981. To me there are two strong tracks on their LP with lyrics that could be about romance or football. If you are down to participate please drop a comment with your favorite (quality) boogie tracks made by football players or about football. Please no "Superbowl Shuffle". Hi-Five [...]

Earlier today, outspoken punter Chris Kluwe announced to the world via Twitter that he had been let go from his job with the Minnesota Vikings football team. So long, Minnesota, and thanks for all the fish! — Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) May 6, 2013 In case you are unaware, this is a quote from "The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy," by Douglas Adams. Which means I now have an insane crush on this dude. Which I kind of did already- for about the same reason people suspect he's [...]

After a disappointing second day of the NFL draft in which no Bruins were selected, Saturday (4/27) proved to be a busy day for UCLA's football program. Three seniors got drafted during the final day of selections, and an additional ... Continued

Posting now from Birmingham , The Magic City (not to be confused with the location of the same name in my native Atlanta), somehow wrangled here to attend / provide commentary on a southeastern Tecmo Super Bowl tournament. Yes you read that correctly, legions of people (an astounding dozen or so) are descending upon Birmingham, Alabama to see who is best at an original NES game, using players and teams from the 1991-1992 NFL Season . Highlights, photos, and tongue-in-cheek commentary to follow for the next few days. Let's hear [...]

After listening to Daft Punk's Get Lucky for the fifth time on the walk to Gôl , shuffle spat out De La Soul's Keepin' The Faith from 1991's De La Soul Is Dead. It may have been the sun, it may have been Mike Tyson's Black Energy fizzing through me or it may have been that I was on my way to play 5-A-Side but Keepin' The Faith just felt perfect (despite being on Penarth Road) and [...]

Another CD that I found during the sort out was MC Pitman's It Takes A Nation Of Tossers, which my friend Sarah burned for me ages ago. Coincidentally, I spoke to Sarah on Facebook today while making this owl , as she had posted some old photos from the Falklands. Further more, I noticed that Pitman scored the only goal of the game for AFC Bournemouth against Firewall FC this afternoon . Witness the pitness.

According to multiple sources today on a Houston Radio show, former New England Patriot Ted Johnson, was asked who had the ugliest spouse on the Patriots.  “He won’t hear this – Vince Wilfork,” Johnson reportedly responded. Well Johnson thought very wrong and was reminded of how fast word spreads when you are talking about a star players wife.  Wilfork responded via twitter: Moments later Johnson tweeted back apologizing for his poor lapse in judgement and an obviously angry Wilfork responded apologizing to his fans and then called out not only [...]

I'm off to Glasgow tomorrow to watch Gareth Bale versus Scotland. I'm getting on the coach at 7.45am and getting off around 6pm. Thankfully someone has looped that 15-second Daft Punk SNL advert for roughly the length of the journey. Soundtrack sorted.

Popular fictional character Lana Del Ray has been to Anfield to watch Liverpool play (no word on if she popped in to the community bakery, but if she didn't, she missed her chance.) This, though, has generated the worst headline The Sun has done in years: Stevie G wants Lana-field Del Rap What? -- Visit No Rock & Roll Fun to comment, complain and kvetch

I woke to a cold morning with a dusting of snow and a whitish grey sky. The breeze is ever so slight. Only the tips of the brown leaves sway. Snow sits on the oak and pine branches and covers all but the tall grass in the backyard. I think the day is pretty in its own way, even without the sun. Goldfinches and nuthatches are at the feeders. I don't know where my chickadees have gone. Gracie, Fern and Maddie are having their morning naps. Gracie went out for a short time and came running back inside as [...]

After yesterday's exciting EPL action, first with  Arsenal's big 5-1 win , followed by  Chelsea being Chelsea , this felt like timely  sharing. Collecting tweets from the period between Aug 2012 and Dec 2012, members of the Oxford Internet Institute   gathered information via Twitter and geolocation to see who's fans are where, and show some quantitative data. View The Interactive Map The data used include all geotagged tweets mentioning any of the Premiership football teams and their associated [...]

Dakin's off this week, and he left me in charge, which means I totally mentioned sports. It's championship week in the NFL, and for those of you not as sports minded as the rest of us (aka those of you make jokes like "what's happening in sports ball this week?"), I'm also recommending some "music [...]

Gordon has spotted a gruesome twosome : HOW about this for an unusual partnership? Former England striker ALAN SHEARER and Essex lad OLLY MURS. They got together for a chinwag and a couple of bevvies yesterday as the Football Association celebrated the launch of its 150th anniversary year in central London. Two people at the same event have a chat hardly seems that unusual - perhaps if they were going round solving crimes, or announcing a civil partnership, there might be a raised eyebrow. But Murs being at the event in [...]

The Bad Lip Reading crew take their absurdity to the NFL with spectacular results. They had me at, "Help me burn that old man." [via deathandtaxes ]

A good afternoon to you all! It seems I slept away the morning. Because the clock in my bedroom doesn't work, I had no idea the time when I finally got out of bed. Fern and Gracie were with me, and they stretched and greeted me before we went downstairs. I got a shock when I saw it was after eleven. My neighbors must have been thinking about calling the rescue squad as my newspapers were still in the driveway. My morning ritual doesn't change despite the hour so I took my time and read the papers with my coffee [...]

From The Verge : "Cowboys Stadium currently boasts the largest jumbotron in the NFL — a behemoth of an LED measuring 160 feet wide and 72 feet tall — but how does Dallas' Texas-sized display compare to the rest of the NFL's set ups? That's the question that graphic designer  Daniel Beaton  set out to answer with a straightforward infographic." As  Fast Company  points out , however, the Houston Texans have recently approved plans to build a screen measuring nearly 280 feet in width. Because everything has to be bigger in Texas, obviously. I'm less interested in [...]

Basically, Chilly Gonzales strips back Daft Punk's Rollin' & Scratchin', covers it in some of his twinkly piano magic and plops a Rocky sample on top of it (the big speech to the son from the last movie). I think we know by now that I would post things based solely on a pun... it's Boxing Day FFS... but I'm also posting this because I'll be using it tomorrow; yeah I still use music to get pumped up before 5-a-side and I'll need it even more tomorrow as it's an 11-a-side game. I may die. [...]
