Photo from Getty Images The most inevitable transfer of the last few years is finally no longer “inevitable”: Manchester United have accepted a world record £80 million bid from Real Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo. A write up on this will come later, as Ronaldo joins Kaka. And the two, despite in my mind cool guys, [...]
Music Thread #1 for 6/11/09: The Tragic Fall of Scott Starch
I was never a big fan of Scott Starch. His arrogance made a lot of people angry with him, topped off by calling himself the “Tough Jew” in midst of his senseless and downright dumb battle with mentor Timbaland. Some sort of humility you felt was going to hit hard on him at any time. [...]

After a three day hiatus, The Whole Delivery has returned from the doldrums before Christmas time. First, Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate it. Getting to what this thread is about, and specifically, this music thread, it is focusing on the worst in what has been, in my mind, the worst music year ever. It’s [...]

Sports Thread #1 for 6/12/09: 2009 Stanley Cup Finals, The Ultimate Game, Red Wings vs Penguins
Like many others, I just feel that the Red Wings are slightly the better team, and that with the home ice advantage, the title is really there’s for good at the end of the night. I don’t think the Penguins can play any worse than they did in Game 5, especially Marc-Andre Fleury. But [...]
