Limerick Friday #412: It’s Just A Game And Everything Will Be OK, Plus But Also Miami Is The Same As It Ever Was


A Carter-Finley game night
Makes for an amazing sight
Kids see the charms
While fans are up in arms
People don’t always look at it right

Belicheat has done it again
Third-stringers, win after win
But the culture of cheat
Just continues to repeat
Sure Goodell will fine them a ten

Gave myself a gentle rebuke
For a diploma that looks like puke
But long hours made it hard-earned
With coffee and lessons learned
Now go find me another job, Duke

The Scooters continue to wreck ‘em
Without a thing from Odell Beckham
Jeffries doesn’t get the ball
Stewart does nothing but fall
Waiver wires, I continue to check ‘em
 
Another sideline face that’s strange
To try for the six-win range
One more mouthpiece and head
But they all shit the bed
The Dolphins will never change

Limerick Friday #411: The Pack Goes Very Pack In Bizarre Loss To EZU, Plus HBO’s Latest Is A Mindbender


More aggressiveness on D, I’m implorin’
The penalties, more focus, less snorin’
A solid win pissed away
In a very NC State way
Clock’s now tickin’ for lost Dave Doeren

Stole your job and your role
Because neither one has a soul
Now you ride your bike with Olive Oyl
And bring Beth’s blood to a boil
Don’t let the door hitcha, a-hole

Played hard in Seattle, no frills
A tough D with lotsa thrills
But slipped through the grasp
Like a 70-yard pass
That was so very Kenny Stills

Moments I wish you had seen
Parties at which you shoulda been
Four years gone in a blink
But time doesn’t make me think
Less of the incomparable Maureen

“The Night Of” a riveting win
HBO has done it again
Racist and justice on trial
A show more than worthwhile
So far a 9 out of 10

Limerick Friday #410: The Torrid Summer Of Thrones, Plus Wolfpack Football Returns A Coupla Days Early



Raced through Game of Thrones
With laughs, gasps, and moans
Dany crossing the narrow sea
Jon Snow victories with a “V”
But Arya has the most stones

The eve of another fantasy year
The draft looms with a hint of fear
Pick high for a change
Which is gonna be strange
Shifting back into football gear

I let the Reserves down, Sarge
And suffered a fracture large
Doubled when I should have dutched
Now I’m fully crutched
Right when Kami put me in charge

“Stranger Things” was a fun romp
Intensity and humor without pomp
More “Goonies” than “Lost”
Season two should be boss
Woke up summer TV with a stomp

Finley got the start
State played with losta heart
Ran the ball almost every play
Penalties made it a mediocre day
But the Pack took the Tribe apart
