Hot Taekery: G.O.T, Judge & WWE Sucking

June 12, 2017By Patrick Moran

Don’t ask me what I was thinking over the past six years because I can’t provide an acceptable excuse, but over this past month I binge-watched the entire six seasons of Game of Thrones on HBO.  There’s not many things on television or film that get past me, considering I haven’t much of a life, … Read More

Happy Birthday to former SNL star and long-time comedic actor Mike Myers, who turns 53 today. I’m in the minority here, but I’ve never been a big Myers fan.

Happy Birthday to former middleweight boxing legend “Marvelous” Marvin Hagler, who turns 63 today.  Hagler against my boxing idol, Sugar Ray Leonard in 1987 may be my favorite fight of all-time.
