    You have poor taste

    Regardless of whether this is true, the first post in this thread says "vote for your fav." I wouldn't care if Radiohead invented music. I like listening to CCR more.
  3. TruffleShuffle
    That's like the most played AC/DC and one of my least favorite songs by them. Hell's Bells and For Those About to Rock are probably my two favorites.

    I wouldn't say that his headbutt invalidates their WC victory in '98 or their Euro Cup victory in '00. It was stupid, and hurt them in this game. That's all. But it will be tarnished, heavily, Zidane will be remembered for having the most antiheroic end to a career in the history of sports. His accomplishments will never outweight this. And to think i use to love the guy 8 years ago. I still love the guy. He made a stupid mistake, but I have no doubt that the Italian player said something totally out-of-line to make Zidane lose his mind and do something something so out of character.
  5. TruffleShuffle
    Absolutely agree

    Hey, a team that gets outplayed in 2 hours of soccer wins in 5 kicks. Hardly ever see that in soccer :^o
  7. TruffleShuffle
    If Italy's additional shots are as good as their last 2, this is over. Unsaveable shots.

    Penalty kicks - what a great way to end the most important soccer tourney :roll:

    That guy was chipping at him all game, but it wasn't that. Zidane was walking away and letting it go, and the guy must've said something, because Zidane just snapped and went right back at him. It's not like it's surprising that an Italian player would say something very out-of-line to a French player.
  11. TruffleShuffle
    That Italian guy must've said something really bad to draw that reaction. Hopefully Zidane repeats what he heard after the game.... I'm curious to hear.

    Italy has been outplayed badly since halftime. They'll be lucky to make it to PKs, because Buffon is better than Barthez.
  13. TruffleShuffle
    Yes? No.
  14. TruffleShuffle
    No kidding, he calls the PK on the dive but not on the one that actually deserved the PK. Oh well, at least Italy fans can't bitch about the call in the first half now, since that one really evened it up.
  15. TruffleShuffle
    Both awesome bands. FNM should have a higher seed, but I'm going to have to vote against them.
  16. TruffleShuffle
    If not for Hotel California, the Eagles would be losing this poll by a mile.
  17. TruffleShuffle
    highest scoring soccer game in history!!!
  18. TruffleShuffle
    I voted for the Eagles, but they really didn't have enough hits to be super great. CCR had more hits than the Eagles.
  19. TruffleShuffle
    The Best of CCR More great songs on that disc than anything Radiohead has produced.
  20. TruffleShuffle
    You should be ashamed of yourself for making CCR a 14 seed.
  21. TruffleShuffle
    haha, point and laugh
  22. TruffleShuffle
    Why'd they trade for Weaver? Didn't Suppan fulfill the crappy starter quota on their team?
  23. TruffleShuffle
    I'm not high enough to vote for Phish.
  24. TruffleShuffle
    I love the guy on page 1 of that Sox thread who tells everyone to vote for Chris Young too, because he's most deserving. Yeah, you should vote for the most deserving NL player, but don't worry about stuffing the ballot box for possibly the least deserving AL player. That's A-OK.

    One other thing. In James' book, he ranks 12 Negro League players in his top 100 players of all time, but does not include them in his position-by-position rankings because he uses Win Shares for those, and Negro League stats simply weren't kept well enough to evaluate players by some sort of Win Shares system. With all due respect to players like Josh Gibson, who was probably the best catcher to ever play the game, I'm inclined to omit Negro League players from the lists. There aren't the stats to rate them fairly, and I don't have access to nearly enough anecdotal evidence to come close to achieving an accurate ranking. So, I plan on just having players from the American and National Leagues in my rankings. Players like Josh Gibson, Oscar Charleston and Satchel Paige are surely among the greatest baseball players of all-time, and the omission of them from my lists is certainly not meant in disrespect of their legacies.
