just another sports scar...

 i tell my mother all the time that when one of my teams lose a heartbreaker, it becomes a scar on my brain. after what happened last night at the 4 Nations Face Off, i have another one to add to the collection. Canada defeated the USA 3-2 in OT to win the 4 Nations Face Off. i should have seen it coming as soon as i saw the footage of Orange Hitler calling the team and wishing them luck.

the USWNT won last night against Colombia, 2-0.

colder than hell...

 so, i took some mail out to the mailbox around 2:30 in the morning last night. i figured i should probably put on some sweatpants to go outside and my winter coat. i know by the time i got back inside, it had to be well below zero with the windchill. i can see why mom has spent most of today in bed. (over 14 hours)

this is a day that has me torn...

 as most of you know, i had a horrible relationship with my father. So, father's day hasn't really meant anything to me since my stepfather, the first male to ever treat me with any fucking respect, died. but, today also happens to be my mother's birthday. i was hoping that thought would be the prevalent one today. but, as usual with this fucking family, mom is depressed and woe is me ever since last night. so, the breakfast i wanted to make her she doesn't want. yeah, going to be one of those days i guess. the joy of being a poet. ultimately, it is all fucking content. 

that being said, i do hope she likes the gifts i got her.

WWE Clash at the Castle yesterday was excellent.

AEW Collision was good last night.

here are your highlights from Game 4 of the Stanley Cup final:

one of those days where i wish i didn't have to wake up...

 and it isn't that i get good sleep, it was just that i had finally fallen to sleep and then it was morning. i didn't feel refreshed but i'm sure i might have got a couple of hours of really deep sleep. and quite honestly, that is fucking rare for me anymore.

Manchester United won yesterday at Newport, 4-2, in the FA Cup. when it got tied up 2-2, i was fearing the worst. thankfully, that didn't happen.

i did watch both NFL playoff games yesterday. the Chiefs won at Baltimore, 17-10. the 49ers beat the Lions, 34-31. Detroit pissed away a 24-7 lead in that game.

at least the anger didn't last forever...

 well, let me begin with my disgust for Ohio State losing once again to that team up north. and mostly, i am pissed that Ryan Day coached scared. and a fucking fill in outcoached him by a fucking mile. Ohio State played like they didn't want to lose the game instead of going out there and imposing their will and win the fucking game. 3 years in a row now. how can you destroy every other team in the Big Ten but come up short against the only rival you have and in the biggest game of every fucking season? Ohio State lost 30-24.

i did watch a few college football games yesterday:

the New York Rangers won at home yesterday over Boston, 7-4.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

AEW Rampage and AEW Collision were pretty good last night.

WWE Survivor Series was great last night. both War Games matches were excellent and the surprise at the end of the show was something i never thought in a million fucking years i would ever see again.

Austin City Limits was very good last night.

i did catch some of the highlights last night in the MLS playoffs. the Eastern Conference finals are going to be amazing.

enjoy some music:

it certainly, really feels like fall now...

 the house is down to 68 degrees. i believe it was in the low 40's overnight outside. the high today will only be in the 50's. my favorite time of year.

so, let's begin where we left off yesterday. i wasn't pleased with Manchester United getting down to Brentford 1-0 26 minutes into the game. it was a painful watch to say the least. right up until Scott McTominay came into the game. he scored in the 93rd minute and then the winner in the 97th minute. they really needed this win. and i hope this is the beginning of a much better future than what it was looking like was coming. 

Ohio State started off like shit yesterday. as i told my mother, this always seems to happen anytime Gus Johnson is calling their game. thankfully, it didn't stay that way. Ohio State defeated Maryland yesterday, 37-17.

i did watch a few college football games yesterday.

WWE Fastlane was excellent last night.

AEW Collision was very good last night.

Austin City Limits was great last night. i have always been a fan of Rodrigo y Gabriela. 

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Billions, Power Book IV: Force and Last Week Tonight.

the New Orleans Saints play at New England today. hopefully the Saints will find a way to win.

i'm sure i will watch some other games today as well.

i did catch some of the MLB playoffs yesterday.

the Yankees lost yesterday to Houston, 9-7. they start a series tonight at the White Sox.

i did catch the highlights from the Leagues Cup game last night.

Manchester United and Athletic Bilbao finished 1-1 yesterday. i'm really hoping United can sell some players off before the season starts and get a few more signings done. as usual, the fucking owners drag their fucking feet with everything, including selling the fucking team.

Big Brother was good last night.

Heels was very good last night.

The Chi was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw.

i will probably watch some of the Leagues Cup games tonight.

i will probably be on here tomorrow in the late afternoon. mom has a company coming out to see if what she wants to do in the kitchen is actually feasible.

 and finally, at night, it did rain. it rained most of the night. i think i finally fell asleep around 4 when it finally stopped to mostly just a drizzle. on those days, my arthritis feels like an elephant has climbed on me for shits and giggles. fun times.

i did get up in time to see Manchester United win this morning. they won 1-0 at Bournemouth. add that with Liverpool dropping points this morning, United now only needs 1 point in their last two matches to officially qualify for the Champions League next season. and with the clean sheet today, David De Gea won the golden glove for the best keeper in the Premier League.

the New York Yankees won last night in Cincinnati, 6-2. hopefully, they will win again today.

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night.

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night.

i will most likely watch The Preakness Stakes today as well.

i definitely plan on watching Columbus vs. FC Cincinnati today in the MLS.

 so, just as i was sitting down to write today's blog, i got the breaking news that Jeff Beck had died. i always thought of Jeff as one of the greatest guitar players alive today. and back in the day where i thought i was going to be a guitar player, i certainly listened to a ton of his music, especially his guitar solos. this news certainly came out of nowhere. rest in peace to one of the greats.

so, the New York Rangers won last night, 4-3, in a shootout at home over Minnesota.

the New York Knicks play tonight at home against the Pacers.
