I have won a New England Press Association award for a story on NASCAR. I have interviewed Frightened Rabbit's Scott Hutchison. I have published a book about Manchester City's shit years. I have written "beef" on a men's room stall. www.ryanfoleywriter.com
I mean, did anyone lead a better football life than Scott Carson these past four years? Made decent bank, spent training grab-assing with the second-teamers, won medals without playing, cleaned up in the Northern Quarter (probably), etc.

Ange Postecoglou fired when I only just learned how to both properly spell and say his name.

I am halfway through Big Ron Manager and have discovered a kindred spirit in Steve Bleasdale.

One of the kids: “Dadz is pulling a ‘Bleo.’ Like on the touchline at Bury fuming. Netflix password probably isn’t working again.”

“Maine Road is an obsolescent bandbox, all chipped concrete and rusted corrugated iron and weathered sky-blue paint.”

Unlike most, a footballer must confront two deaths. The first typically occurs before the age of 40. His brain remains fit, still able to clearly and efficiently process the action on the pitch. But his body no longer keeps its side of the bargain. He is a step behind, a heartbeat slower.

City are a funny little side at the moment.

The championship trophy was presented at the City Ground before the 29 April match against Birmingham City. Clough walked briskly to collect ‘The Lady’ – nicknamed so for the statuette that adorned its top – and affectionately clutched the ornate silver trophy in his arms.

Today, on Wilsons World, football is an essentially nostalgic sport - and why that matters.

SNL reunion shows put me in such a warm, fuzzy place.

Just finished David Kynaston's Austerity Britain: 1945-1951 and working-class folk in 1946 were asked about food shortages and one woman replied that the Yanks were "the biggest gluttons in the world right now" and well, I think Wendy's $5 Biggie Bag has something to say about that.

Of all the various American sports flexes, the “the whole world was watching” flex is perhaps the silliest. The whole world was not watching the Saints’ return to the Superdome. They were watching Justin Timberlake’s mad flex for “SexyBack” on YouTube.

Cat doesn't like the trombone portion of NFL Honors 2025. This shall be rectified. Tomorrow: Start with Kid Ory turned down low. Then Tommy Dorsey.

Points deducted for any award-winner who extends thanks to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ before his ma, his pops, his high school football coach, Drew Rosenhaus, etc.
