So the Czar is goading GorT (and maybe ‘Puter) a bit with his latest post about soccer being tiresome. Aside from his clever title the post is a bunch of mis- or uninformed babbling. Yeah, I’m calling out the Czar … Continue reading →
The FIFA 2014 World Cup starts Thursday and the talk of soccer in the United States is heating up. Of course, most of the discussion centers around two topics: (1) how unlikely it is that the United States’ Men’s National … Continue reading →
GorT’s recent post elicited some interesting responses. First BG writes in regarding flopping and various sports: So basketball and football are better than soccer because the NBA and the NFL are taking steps to deal with the curse of “flopping,” … Continue reading →
Ten years ago, Dr. J. would never have dreamed we were 10 years away from living in a land of stagnating opportunity, where our political leaders agendas are clearly and unequivocally antithetical to America’s best interests, where religious liberty is … Continue reading →
GorT and family are big fans of soccer (sorry, we’re Americans, so it’s soccer – or fútbol, but not football) and we watched the highly contentious US Women versus Canadian soccer semi-final game earlier this week. I then re-watched portions of … Continue reading →
Friends don’t let friends watch soccer… As many of you know, our beloved ‘Puter is a soccer fan (or football, as they say across the pond). Indeed, he has been known to go to the local pub for Guinness (It’s … Continue reading →
As regular readers know, ‘Puter and GorT both enjoy high-level European soccer. Last night, Real Madrid won the Copa del Rey, awarded annually in La Liga to the team that wins an elimination tournament. Real Madrid is one of the … Continue reading →
‘Puter’s back from his well-deserved vacation on the torrid Delmarva Peninsula. While on vacation, ‘Puter caught most of the World Cup matches. ‘Puter sent congratulations to The Mandarin via carrier wombat for surreptitiously displaying The Gormogons’ influence for all to … Continue reading →
As a minor follow up on the soccer vs. baseball thread, I will point out that the GorT spawn first experienced a “fairness” rule in baseball. This was after they had a number of years of experience with soccer, lacrosse … Continue reading →
Sure, GorT is a fan of soccer (and no, I don’t call it Football or International Football. It’s soccer). Yes, the constant buzzing is freaking annoying – however, it doesn’t bug me as I’ve installed a dual Nyquist-Shannon filter to … Continue reading →
Really, this post responds to the Czar’s thoughts on soccer, though ‘Puter is pleased to have one-upped Czar in homoerotic hit-generating post titles. First, baseball sucks out loud. On this, there can be no argument. Second, the World Cup is … Continue reading →
Yep, hopefully at some point growing up you heard your mother or father say just that. Life isn’t fair. Maybe even followed by, “so deal with it”. Many readers will remember that GorT is a soccer coach so this story … Continue reading →
If we needed any extra proof as to why baseball is boring, let me point to three pieces of recent empirical evidence: 1. During their eighth straight loss (all at home), the Seattle Mariners’ Ken Griffey Jr. fell asleep in … Continue reading →

Continue reading →Jesus, I forgot that the other Gormogons are such freakin’ squishes on soccer.* At least we can all agree on the super-awesomeness that is the gun, right? RIGHT?! This is kinda cute: And there’s decent piece here on the Attorney … Continue reading →
‘Puter didn’t realize that The Gormogons had become a sports blog. Since we’re now opining on sport generally, ‘Puter’s weighing in. ‘Puter’s favorite sports to watch are, in descending order: (1) ice hockey; (2) college basketball in conference games and … Continue reading →
Allow the Czar to make a slight rebuttal to GorTechie’s otherwise brilliant post. This rebuttal is only to clarify some potentially disparaging remarks made about baseball, a “past time” near and dear to the Czar’s heart. We played it as … Continue reading →
Let me make a rebuttal to the Volgi’s post here. And let me say that one could take Mr. Webb’s post as somewhat of tongue-in-cheek – but I’ll take him at his own words: “For those who think I jest…“. … Continue reading →
