thank fucking god for Jesse Lingard

i started off today watching old highlights of Manchester United winning the FA Cup. considering United hasn't won the title in 12 years, i was really pumped up for today. they couldn't have a better ending for this shit season than winning the FA Cup. Crystal Palace had never won the trophy and the only time they made the final they lost to United in 1990. their coach played on that team. so, i knew they and their fans would be pumped up for the game. it was the typical United first half, plenty of possession but nothing to show for it. Palace took the lead in the second half off a little chaos from a corner kick. the cameras cut to Palace's coach doing a little dance. the soccer gods were not pleased. less than 90 seconds later, Juan Mata scored to even the game. a huge credit to Wayne Rooney for creating that goal. United also hit two goal posts in the second half, so as the game got closer to extra time, there certainly was some regret. extra time started and you could clearly see fatigue setting in. with 2 minutes left in the first half of extra time, Chris Smalling made a stupid tackle, picking up his second yellow of the game. i was fucking furious. now, i was hoping for penalty kicks. thankfully, the boys decided they wanted to end it now. Valencia crossed the ball and it deflected right to Jesse Lingard. the one thing i constantly preach to the television, somehow hoping the players hear me is don't think. sports are all instinct and reaction. thank fucking god, Jesse Lingard didn't think. he blasted an unbelievable volley into the net to give 10 man United a 2-1 lead. i'm pretty sure the whole neighborhood heard me when that one went in. the rest of the game was simply defend for your lives. that was exactly what United did.

that's the first trophy since Sir Alex retired. of course, the news also leaked out that LVG will be replaced by Jose Mourinho, who apparently has agreed to a 3 year deal in principle. i'll believe that when i see the "Special One" at Old Trafford wearing red. but for today, i'm going to enjoy Manchester United finally bringing home a trophy for the first time in 3 years.

i always enjoy a cold victory beer listening to Queen. i had a fun time blasting that one.

the New York Yankees found some offense last night and defeated Oakland 8-3. holy shit, three wins in a row. took them over 40 games for that to happen. but, it's officially a winning streak now. they are playing as i am typing this and winning again. hopefully that will continue.

i did watch a good portion of the NHL game last night. it looked like for a second that Tampa Bay was going to piss away a 4 goal lead last night. thankfully, they didn't. their series with the Penguins is now tied 2-2.

i also listened to the latest Sam Roberts' Show podcast last night. i highly recommend checking it out, especially if you are a 90's hip hop fan.

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be the season finale of Saturday Night Live and ROH.

i did watch a bit of team USA losing to Canada today at the World Hockey Championships over in Russia. they lost 4-3. they will face Russia tomorrow for the bronze.

it was supposed to rain all day today, but thankfully the front shifted. so now it's just fucking windy.

i'll probably be flipping between horse racing, hockey and basketball tonight.

i'll take Nyquist in the Preakness Stakes today, mostly so there's a chance for another Triple Crown winner.

i'll probably be on here tomorrow morning as Sunday will be busy as fuck with all my shows and sports and a wrestling pay per view as well.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday night. call if you need bail money.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

peace and chicken grease...
