July 31st Houston Sports FaF Smear

I’ve got friends in all the right places. I know what they want and I know they don’t want me to stay. If someone were to hold things I did five-six years ago against me I would never get a date in this town. Bartenders would refuse to serve me. I would be pulled over [...]

June 30th Houston Sports FaF Smear

Fooseball is not for the devil, it is for my son Bobby! I’m sure one or all of us will have a dissertation-length preview of the Texans’ season within the next month. We have a nice niche cut out for us – if other previews have been timely, accurate, informed, and bland, we can promise [...]

The FaFU: Blue Mice, Madden Curse, Babies, et al.

The FaFU is a weekly link-dump usually laced with seething sarcasm, gross exaggeration and a multitude of four letter words. We tried to become a more civilized bunch, but as far as The FaFU is concerned, it’s a lost cause.

July 29th Houston FaF Smear (and Farewell)

Hey! If it’s love that you want from me. No way! I’m just a boy with a melody. I’ve made no qualms about showing my allegiance to the Philadelphia Eagles on this here Houston blog. “You can take the kid out of Philly, but you can’t stop him from throwing urine bombs,” is a pretty [...]

Alberto Contador: Cycling’s Terrell Owens

We get to see the phenomenon from time to time in the sports that we’ve decided are most relevant. But, it’s always refreshing to see some of the more obscure sports come out from hiding to entertain us with petty “he said/she said” bickering. Hopefully, cricket will come to the forefront next week with some [...]

July 28th Houston FaF Smear (and Boom Shaq-alahka)

Searching these streets for a soul committee. Talking ideas on lust and pity. Last night I took a tour of coffee shops around town. Not because I wanted to. Not because I had to. Mostly because one didn’t have the wifi intertubes, the other was infested with mosquitoes and the final one I went to [...]

Colt McCoy Tempts the Mighty Madden Curse

We generally stay away from writing about UT, primarily because they are widely considered to be dooshers, and partly because our local paper takes care of their required ass-kissing. But this article required a mention.

July 27th Houston Sports Daily FaF Smear (and incompetent coaches)

Did you ever find Bugs Bunny attractive when he put on a dress and played a girl bunny? Neither did I. I was just asking. Clyde Drexler wants to coach in the NBA. Nay, Clide Drexler vows he will be coaching in the NBA. Here is an excerpt of an interview with Not Fourth and [...]

July 25th Houston FaF Smear (and yay football! )

OPERATOR! GET ME THE PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD! THIS IS AN EMERGENCY! TRAINING CAMPS HAVE STARTED! TRAINING CAMPS HAVE STARTED! TRAINING CAMPS HAVE STARTED! Smile like you mean it! If you haven’t heard by now, NFL training camps started this weekend. This means that we can say hello to real sports and wave goodbye to [...]

July 24th Houston FaF Smear (and more NFL Draft)

You knew what you wanted and you fought so hard. Just to find yourself sitting in a golden cage. Thank goodness someone is looking out for the interests of the American people. I was almost worried that every socio-political cause ever was falling by the wayside, ignored by the law and decision makers. But, you [...]
