L.J.'s Bio
Nestor to his son Antilochos;
"Lean yourself over your polished car...A little to the left of your steeds;
Call to your right hand horse and goad him on, and slacken with your hands his reins.
Then let the left hand horse swerve close around the turning post,
So that the nave of well made wheel may seem to reach the stone's edge;
But avoid to graze it!"

I think you may dig this piece written on hockey by K.D.

It's really quite frightening but if you try to write a good article about an unfashionable team no fucker reads it but if you slag off a top team or skew the truth in an article it gets loads of hits.
It's all bollocks and to be honest I don't know why I bother sometimes.

Beside these she set a cup,
a magnificent work Nestor had brought from home,
studded with gold. There were four handles on it,
around each one a pair of golden doves was feeding.
Below were two supports. When that cup was full,
another man could hardly lift it from the table,
but, old as he was, Nestor picked it up with ease.
Maybe ye should spin a tale about Achilles being the first spoiled super star, Agamemnon being the first nasty, glory grabbing head coach, Odysseus being the first great coordinator, Ajax being the first crime prone star, Helen being the first groupie,and the Greeks being the first great team unable to repeat because of hubris.
And oh those sea nymphs can shake it on the sidelines...
or something like that...
Rage — Goddess, sing the rage of Peleus’ son Achilles,
murderous, doomed, that cost the Achaeans countless losses, and Super Bowl titles...
