Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXIV: FIFA Empties Itself Of Sepp’s Blatter, Plus A Hectic NBA Finals


FIFA an utter disgrace, you say
Headlines bash soccer all day
Corruption was always known
The story that’s hidden alone
Is why Hope Solo is allowed to play

In the Keys, secrets, murder and booze
The biggest liar is hard to choose
“Bloodline” reeled me in with its trailer
Led by a chunky Coach Taylor
Red eyes, broken hearts, can’t lose

Insults they were hurled
As LeBron danced and twirled
A battle of have-nots and haves
An Aussie propels the Cavs
As Mozgov dunks on the world

Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXVXXXIII: Now What Will Local “Media” Do To Defend The University Of No Control?



The allegations read
Words to be dread
By every Tar Hole
Lack of Institutional Control
“Burn it down,” they said

A seven-run lead
With five outs to bleed
Then a meltdown from hell
Bad karma, alive and well
NC State Shit, indeed

They tried to play coy
Exhausted every ploy
The cover-ups kinda worked
‘Til Willingham twerked
Will they finally shit-can Ol’ Roy?

The low point of the sports year
Punctuated by a yawn and a beer
But summer has arrove
Beach-goers in droves
Family time is finally here
