Rick’s Pigskin Piñata: Taking a Swing at the Week 3 NFL Power Rankings

By Rick Suter on September 22, 2016 • ( Leave a comment )

Tough sledding this week for the NFL, and the entire world/universe/Beverly Hills, as this is the first week of competition where Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will not be watching football or controlling their fantasy team, I Like Rushin’ Ends, as a married couple. Certainly the news has […]

Rick’s Pigskin Piñata: Taking a Swing at the Week 2 NFL Power Rankings

By Rick Suter on September 14, 2016 • ( Leave a comment )

Now that Nirvana has officially (sarcastically) confirmed that Kurt Cobain is, in fact, still alive, we can shift our focus to the Week 2 NFL Power Rankings! Yessir, the first week of professional pigskin is in the books, and holy shit, is there some serious shifting and dissection-worthy […]

Baseball Meets ‘Pretty Woman’: Tim Tebow, the MLB and the Continued Chase of a Sports Fairy Tale

By Rick Suter on August 26, 2016 • ( Leave a comment )

You sit around at a local watering hole in small towns, medium-sized nooks, the suburbs that span the Midwest, a city here and there, and chances are you will overhear several sports-related tales being rehashed over a cold beer. The last bit of a cigarette slowly smoldering, with […]

Happy 25th Birthday, Internet: I Wrote You a (Belated) Thank You Letter

By Rick Suter on August 24, 2016 • ( Leave a comment )

Dear Internet, Writing some variation of a long-winded think piece about you turning 25 years old seemed like an inevitable brain wave adventure this week. One of those articles riddled with would’ve/could’ve/should’ve/hyperlinks—maybe mix in a last gasp to a final exhale that explains, in serious (?) detail, why […]

The Los Angeles Rams and NAFs: An Exploration of Non-Athletic Fucks

By Rick Suter on August 17, 2016 • ( Leave a comment )

OMG, IMO, the nOOb acronym that was uttered on yesterday’s episode of Hard Knocks was so stellar that it probably had NASA shouting YMMD. Blast off, Los Angeles Rams! It was perfect, so concise and precise, proverbially escalating to a creative precipice for the linguistic lover of scribbling […]

What to Wear: The Five Best Fashion Options for the (Un)Common Person Watching the 2016 Rio Olympics

By Rick Suter on August 12, 2016 • ( Leave a comment )

Watching your favorite player or team compete in a sports event is one of the coolest things to do. #Sports! It’s the thrill of involving yourself in something you have zero control over. There’s usually alcohol involved in the viewing process, too, which makes yelling a lot more […]

First Bourne, Baby: My Review and Difficulties Understanding a Franchise I’ve Never Seen Before

By Rick Suter on August 5, 2016 • ( 3 Comments )

There’s something special about seeing the newest addition of a blockbuster movie franchise when you haven’t seen but maybe ten minutes of any of the previous films. Back in 2002, I missed the unveiling and identification of  one Mr. Matt Damon Jason Bourne to the world. I have […]

The MLB Collective Bargaining Agreement: Don’t Sing Smokey Robinson to the Fans

By Rick Suter on July 29, 2016 • ( Leave a comment )

No one cares if the zany clown is really sad deep down in the most secret—usually truest—part of his or her soul. At the end of the birthday, it’s more about how well that clown made the balloon animals or how entertained (babysat) the kids were from arrival […]

Roger Federer: Let’s Give Brownie Points for Career Duration

By Rick Suter on July 26, 2016 • ( Leave a comment )

Last year, Roger Federer stood in the spotlight on Arthur Ashe Stadium at the US Open, following his one-sided loss (again) to Novak Djokovic — currently a more consistent, younger, two-handed-er backhand type of player — and, as only the GOAT of the sport can do, he gave the crowd a final […]

You Have to Rewind It: My Review of the 1999 Film ‘Mystery, Alaska’

By Rick Suter on July 18, 2016 • ( Leave a comment )

Summertime is about staying cool and having a good time. It’s also about the movies. Summer blockbusters! Aliens are attacking—again—Matt Damon is pissed off—again—and Jared Leto is wearing makeup—again. It’s a formula, folks. However, if the idea is to stay cool while, possibly, enjoying a cinematic display, wouldn’t […]
