The Saga of Lil’ Mick: The Ridiculous and the Sublime

April 4th, 2006 | by: Shawn | Comments Off

More news about Michael Owen’s race to recovery and redemption.

First comes this story in which an England assistant analyzes Lil’ Mick’s chances for recovery (pretty good, he reckons). The alarming bit to me is that the bloke’s name is Tord Grip. I ask you: would you allow somebody named Tord Grip anywhere near your injured body?

Secondly, the BBC puts together a story worthy of the folks who consult Nostradamus before they choose their morning cereal: Does Lil’ Mick’s history of injuries so closely resemble Our Captain’s that Owen is the New Becks?

Why can’t Sven proposition a meter maid so we can have some real news?
