Winning Roots: Do Like KMew

“Never give in.” - Sir Alex Ferguson

If you’re a fan of the NWSL, the USWNT, anything woso, or just have a not-so-secret crush on the Mewis sisters, you have to appreciate a player like Kristie Mewis over the last couple of weeks.

Strong Player, Weak Team

We’ve seen her score goals, create with assists, and facilitate play through the midfield for club and country for years now. She’s rarely had the fortune of playing for very successful clubs during her career, it’s true. Even after finally winning a league title with the Houston Dash it seems the Internet historians have no interest in even acknowledging the 2020 season existed. But she’s always been a solid player, some would say too solid to end up at a club like Gotham. They’ve only taken 12 points from 15 matches so far this season and to say they’re struggling right now is a massive understatement.

Kristie Brings It Anyway

Despite the club’s current struggles, Kristie got an 80th-minute assist to pull a goal back against the Dash on the 17th and scored in the 75th minute against the Pride three days later. After she scored I just thought to myself, “This woman has NO quit in her...” I have nothing but respect for players who know their team isn’t playing well, they’re losing again, but they refuse to stop playing. If you’re a United supporter, you’d love some of that never-say-die energy at your club right now; maybe you could use some of that energy in YOUR life. “Form is temporary” is a very true statement, and maybe you’re in a historically bad run of form in your life right now. But the good thing about bad form is that you CAN play your way out of it if you do like KMew and keep playing your heart out until you hear the final whistle. 😉⚽

(Renamed ”Coach’s Corner” to “Winning Roots” because that name’s just been done to death; wanted to do something original as I take this project into its next phase. 😎)

Negro League Baseball Museum, "Barrier Breakers" at 118 Boylston St, Boston, through August 4, 2023

Negro League baseball has been an interest of mine for over 50 years. Robert Peterson’s ONLY THE BALL WAS WHITE captured the attention of this 12 year old Mets fan upon its publication in 1970. The Carrie Palmer Weber Junior High of Port Washington N.Y’s librarian Ms. Futter always had a smile upon seeing me take out ONLY THE BALL WAS WHITE for perhaps the 4th. time.

So Mew is officially in his Reputation era. And the aesthetics that he chose for the transformation was fascinating to me and @lurkingshan. Mew was, in his own words, setting out to be "as nasty as the nasty ones". And then went ahead and completely modelled his appearance after Ray.

So does he think Ray is one of the "nasty" ones? Well, turns out, not quite. We see him trying to look confident with his fake hookup with Guy, but he fails. He's nervous, and it shows. He also tells Boston later in the episode that he "doesn't have to be as filthy as him".

So while he's not trying to be "nasty" or "filthy", he IS trying to be a transgressor. A rule-breaker. And he’s trying to emulate some of that chaotic energy Ray is always exuding without sinking all the way to Boston’s level. He wants to step out of line, but he still wants to stand within the moral boundary enough to claim superiority, as we see him do at Boston's house.

Which explains why Mew thinks Ray is not "right" for him, even if he’s willing to give him a chance to soothe his ego after Top’s cheating.

And when the time comes, it'll be oh-so-easy for Top to convince Mew that Ray is not "good" for him.

Everyone’s gone UFO crazy. Maybe The X-Files should come back

Chrissy Iley

MARCH 2, 2024

Starring in a poignant new film adapted from his own novel, David Duchovny reveals the heartache of almost losing his daughter... and why his most famous show could yet return

No wonder David Duchovny has written, directed and stars in his latest movie Bucky F***ing Dent... it’s based on his own bestselling 2016 novel of the same name. Poignant and funny, it examines a father-son relationship via baseball, with X-Files star David playing Marty the dad, who’s dying of lung cancer, and Logan Marshall-Green from Spider-Man: Homecoming as his estranged son Ted.

The real Bucky Dent went down in history for scoring an unlikely home run for the New York Yankees in a 1978 tie-breaker against arch rivals the Boston Red Sox, and the film’s title is how generations of Boston fans have referred to him ever since, a metaphor for heartbreak. Set in that same year, the film follows struggling writer Ted as he moves back into his childhood home when he hears his father is dying, prompting a whirlwind of dark revelations from the past. Meanwhile, Boston fan Marty’s health dips whenever his beloved Red Sox lose, so New York fan Ted orchestrates the illusion of a Boston winning streak...

Marty has transferred his feelings for an old flame (the secret love of his life, not his wife) to the Red Sox. ‘The intensity of fandom has always puzzled me,’ says David. ‘It has to be a kind of sublimation. My father and I liked playing baseball; my best childhood memory is playing it with him and enjoying the simple communication you can have through a game, but we didn’t share the fandom thing.

‘Marty’s transposed his feelings for this woman to the Red Sox, and the movie is really about the idea of losing. In America there’s a sick addiction to winning and winners, but most of us have to lose every day. Suffering makes us human - it unites us all.’

There’s a moment in the film when Marty is talking about a chest infection that almost killed Ted as a child. Marty says he begged God or whoever to take his lungs instead and let Ted live. ‘One thing I’ve never told anyone is that when my daughter was nine months old she got really ill,’ reveals David. ‘Her mother [actress Tea Leoni] and I had to face the fact we might lose her and I remember feeling so devastated, I didn’t think I could love anything again if she died.’

His daughter West, now 24, has since become a successful actress who seems to have inherited her mother’s stunning blonde looks and her father’s charisma. ‘I think she has a greater passion for acting than either of her parents ever did,’ he says. They also have a son Kyd, 21, and David says the hardest moment of his life was telling them he and Tea were divorcing ten years ago, as his own parents had done when he was 12. ‘It was far worse telling them than actually experiencing it. When you’re a child you just try to get through it, you don’t feel responsible. As a parent I felt at least 50 per cent responsible.’

Tall and thin with good skin and an easy charm, David seems untouched by the ageing process, although this role is a huge shift from the Lotharios he usually plays, such as bed-hopping writer Hank in comedy-drama series Californication. Does getting older bother him? ‘Of course, and as an actor you have to think of the different roles you’ll be offered. When I was writing this script I was thinking I’d play Ted, the son. We tried to make it four or five years ago and I was still going to play Ted, but then when it came to doing it I realised it just wouldn’t work, so I thought I’d play Marty. And that was exciting because it was very different.’

Californication won two Emmys and a Golden Globe, but was notorious for its portrayal of LA’s seedier side. Does he think it could be made now? ‘Certainly they would insist on intimacy coaches, but I don’t think it would be made now, for the wrong reasons. There was a misunderstanding about what it was about. It was meant to be funny, and it was meant to be about family and love. But what everybody got excited about was not that,’ he says, referring to the furore over the sex scenes. ‘In my mind the show was misperceived.’

Another of David’s roles that would spark a row today was a transgender FBI agent in Twin Peaks in the early 90s, when almost no transgender women were on TV. Again it was groundbreaking. ‘But if you’re playing a murderer no one asks you, “Have you murdered people?”’ he says. ‘It was just being an actor.’

David is, of course, best known for The X-Files, in which he played UFO-obsessed FBI agent Mulder opposite Gillian Anderson’s sceptical Scully. The series finally bowed out in 2018 after 11 series, but could there ever be another? ‘Maybe - it might even be more current now,’ he says, referring to the recent release of top-secret UFO files in the US. ‘I’m not personally interested in UFOs so it doesn’t make it more exciting for me to revisit The X-Files. It was a role I played but I wasn’t passionate about the subject. Maybe I’m the only one who isn’t.’

There was a brouhaha at the time about the huge pay discrepancy between David and Gillian, and I wonder if it would be difficult for him to work with her again. ‘As far as I know, by the end there was no difference at all between us, but Hollywood salaries are very weird,’ he says. ‘I’m going to London soon and I’ll see Gillian because she lives there now. I saw her in the West End doing All About Eve and I enjoyed it. She wished me luck with Bucky too.’

In recent years David has explored his passion for music, releasing a couple of folk-rock albums. So does he see himself as an actor, a director or a musician? ‘All of them, I’m an artist,’ he says. ‘I can filter stuff through a song, a novel, a performance or through directing. There are all kinds of ways of being an artist. I write best about dramatic things. There’s a way to deal with suffering to create art.’

Frankfurt 1952

Older/Younger pro tag team lovers.

Wolfgang 52 and Karl 27 (top image) have been a couple for 3 years. They met at their local wrestling gym. Friends initially, things began to develop when they couldn't get through a training session without it becoming a sex fight. For them, wrestling and sex go hand in hand. Mainly singles wrestlers, they wrestle as a tag team around 30% of the time.

They face off against a visiting team from Portugal.

Alfonso 49 and Francisco 29 (bottom image) have been a couple for 8 years. They met when Francisco was doing his national service and Alfonso was a sergeant and pro wrestling coach in the army. He was extremely impressed with Francisco's natural wrestling ability, strength and stamina for a lightweight. He'd often beat opponents from the weight classes above.

Francisco is an incredibly jealous lover, and he's noticed there's an attraction between Karl and Alfonso, and he caught Karl winking and smiling at Alfonso earlier that day.

Match time, the bell rings and it's Francisco and Wolfgang in the ring first. Before the action has started, Francisco points to Karl and says "I want him". Karl is eager to get in the ring. He's sized Francisco up and reckons he can take him.

He thought wrong.

As Karl enters the ring through the ropes, Francisco immediately attacks him with a flurry of extremely stiff forearm smashes to his shoulders, and knees to the gut. He scoops Karl up and and tosses him across the ring, where he lands on his back with a massive thud, winding him.

Francisco walks across the ring and drops to his knees, making sure one knee lands on Karl's neck. While Karl struggles, his opponent works over his gut and hairy pecs with vicious punches and claws. Alfonso realises whats happening and thinks 'Oh shit'. He's seen this before.

Francisco eventually lets up and gets off Karl, knowing he's already weakened him considerably. Wolfgang shouts "Come on Karl! Get up!" as Karl attempts to compose himself. Every time he tries to get up, he's stomped on by Francisco. Eventually, once Karl is on his hands and knees, his opponent tightly grabs a handful of his hair and pulls him to his feet, then grabs his arm and catapults him across the ring, where he hits the turnbuckle with such force the ring shakes. Karl slumps to the floor. Hes picked up by the hair again, dragged into the middle of the ring, and Francisco repeats the move, (He's making sure not to throw him against the turnbuckle at the other end of the ring, where he might be able to tag his partner). Karl is in a lot of trouble now. He's picked up by the hair again. He's winded and barely able to stand. Francisco begins to repeatedly smash Karl's head into the top of the turnbuckle, opening a cut above his right eye.

For the next 25 minutes Karl is subjected to the worst beating he's ever received in the ring. Tied up in the ropes and abused, torture racks into long held over the knee back breakers, an absolutely brutal Boston, that looked like he was going to snap in half, a nasty figure 4, where Francisco took the opportunity to taunt Wolfgang while he made his partner suffer in the hold.

Eventually, Francisco felt he'd made his point and it was time to put Karl out of his misery. He decided he'd finish him off in a Camel (his favourite finisher), making sure they were both facing Alfonso. He grabs Karl's hair, lifting his head up so he could see Alfonso. He shouts to his partner "Do you still think he's cute now? Do you still want to fuck him now?!" and spits in Karl's face, before applying a tight sleeper. When he feels Karl is losing consciousness he whispers in his ear "stay the fuck away from my man".

Wolfgang and Alfonso have raging hard cocks, watching the destruction.

Karl is KO'ed. The bell repeatedly rings, but Francisco keeps the hold on for just a little longer, before releasing and leaving the ring, followed by Alfonso.

Wolfgang immediately gets into the ring to tend to Karl, who lies bloody and battered on the ring floor. He plans on getting revenge.

[heretherebedork]

There is so much about how each of our boys approaches their boundaries and how they affect their relationship and our view of their relationship.

Mew is great at setting boundaries and quick to both set them and explain them. He is very clear and he is the one who understands that they can change within the relationship but also that he is in control of them. His boundaries are his choice, he is clear what they are and he holds them tightly. He will tell you if you break one and he will draw the line in the sand every time.

Boston has never met a boundary he could break. He doesn't hold a line, he presses and presses other people's boundaries until they move and then he just keeps pressing. There is no line that can hold him. But he also does set his own boundaries that he expects other people to hold to because he won't let them press.

Ray is confused by boundaries and by love and by so many things. He's so used to people having no boundaries or care for him and he rarely has a boundary for himself and while he tries to respect other people's boundaries he also simply doesn't understand them. The same way he tries so hard to love and is so clumsy because he's never had an example.

Top doesn't tend to set boundaries but when he does he comes down hard... but also relents. It's obvious that while he knows how to set a boundary he also is very used to having them disrespected and doesn't tend to think they matter much. He knows what a boundary is and he can respect them but he doesn't hold them often himself.

Sand has boundaries but he tends to be soft about them. His boundaries are easy to overcome with a bit of pleading and puppy dog eyes if he likes you but they turn to fists if he doesn't like your company. Sand's boundaries tend to be drawn in emotions, big ones, and he holds them as self-protection.

Nick draws weak boundaries and lets them break because he doesn't want the other person to have boundaries either. But he doesn't push at theirs very much, not yet. He doesn't hold his own either. He's the most interesting because we've really only seen those boundaries with Boston, the boundary breaker, so it's harder to predict how well he holds them with someone who isn't constantly pushing but I don't think Nick holds boundaries well with anyone. Nor do I expect he's particularly good at respecting them.

... Boundaries and sex, y'all, the messages of Only Friends.
