Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXVI: Warmer Days On The Horizon, Plus State Brings Back Legends


Sun and blooms all day
At the beach I wanna stay
It’s here, I reckons
Bad golf beckons
Oh spring, don’t be scared to stay


Wrestlers use vise and clamp
On their sport, try to put a stamp
Gwiazdowski gave ‘em hell
As hard to pin as to spell
Congrats for a true national champ

Quietly, a strong offseason for the Bears
No one really notices or cares
Peanut has returned to the fold
Allen replaces Peppers of old
Putting together a roster that scares

Searching all night and day
For a combo of culture and pay
For recruiters to be worth more than this
And it’s as simple as this:
Just do what you say

The Pack honoring heroes
While the Heels just look like zeroes
Russell was the ultimate playmaker
Mario was a sacking soul taker
Cheers, you’ll be able to hear those

Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXV: “The Walking Dead” Meanders With Heartbreak, Plus Pack Fans Know From Heartbreak




At a crossroads they arrove
With the horrors of “The Grove”
The Ol’ Yeller putdown of Lizzie
Put TWD fans in a tizzy
Terminus the next storyline to be wove

The NCAAs, they got in
By the hair of their chinny-chin-chin
The key to the Big Dance
Is to survive and advance
D up, share the rock and win

Snow and sleet and other things
Winter continues to cling
Daylight Savings came
But still the weather lame
Where’s this late-arriving spring?

Most of TV is defective
It’s made me quite selective
The best don’t hang around
Leave you with an empty sound
Already missing “True Detective”

As a State fan, no mas (no more)
A choke job worthy of lore
Every free throw a brick
For everyone’s Cinderella pick
Hey bartender, shut up and pour

Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXIV: “True Detective” Ends With A Whimper, Not A Bang, Plus Tony Buckets Takes Greensboro


Though intensity ruled the day
A ho-hum finale, I’d say
Questions left unanswered, so sure
Cohle had a life-saving cure
“True Detective” still much more than OK

Survive and advance, you know
The Pack gettin’ into a flow
They owe the ‘Cuse one
Perhaps go on a run?
One down, three to go

Help wanted, so they say
You may be right for us, OK?
But descriptions misleading
Don’t know what they’re needing
Keep plugging each and every day

A fanbase of hopeless derps
Filled the media with clueless twerps
The ACC said, “Later, bitches”
Maryland back to revenue glitches
Get the hell out, you useless Terps

Even the blind could see
He was the class of the ACC
Congrats to Tony Buckets
The national media can suck its
The league’s best easily

Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXIII: The End Of An Error, Plus A Most-Anticipated Season Finale



I polled each bobblehead
About ending the days of dread
Even nodding Michael Scott goes
“Yeah, this company blows”
(“That’s what she said”)

When the going gets rough for fools
Saban tries to change the rules
The hypocrite says, “It’s too fast!”
“Injuries happen when we’re gassed!”
STFU and coach up your cretin tools

Inept, fat and snorin’
Sportswriters keep ignorin’
The easy choice for ACC’s best
And it’s really no contest
Even the blind can vote T.J. Warren

My five years are done
Now they’re left with one
A third-strike British joke
Their reputation up in smoke
No fun + no business won
 
An epic finale now in sight
“True Detective” set up for a fight
Nothing will live up to the hype
But this is a show that can break type
Carcosa and other answers Sunday night
