  1. Sportswriters everywhere have their "Tiger on the prowl" headlines locked and ready to go.
  2. Pretty good match. I couldn't believe Emana (I think it was him?) passed back to Etoo on the one shot he hit the post on. He should've buried that.
  3. Reggie Williams was released by the Seahawks today. He's been out of the league for some drug stuff since 2008 but he's still only 27. He's listed at 6'4" 212 too.
  4. The better question is is how many runs does Kobe have left in him? I'll be annoyed if he gets to 6 but from where things look they've gotta be the favorites going into next year.
  5. It would seem like playing an entire match over again is more of a hassle than just playing sudden death for as long as necessary but FIFA feels PKs are necessary?
  6. The FA Cup is a single elimination tourney, where draws are replayed. The next day or what?
  7. Same with laughing. Laughter - what is that? I mean, what is the point of opening your mouth and going "Ha, ha!"? What is that? "Ha, ha!"?
  8. Has there ever been a point where matches would just go on and on until someone scored? PKs are lame but so are ties and the weird tiebreakers. I heard they would replay the entire match if it ended in a tie back in the day. That seems insane.
  9. The difference is they are applauding a good movie. Players are applauding people for applauding them, not to mention, the way in which they do it is what's most silly. Holding your hands over your head halfassedly putting them together, walking around a little more and doing it again. I think it looks silly. I actually think clapping at the end of a movie is pretty lame, myself.
  10. If people clap at the end of a movie do you have a brain aneurysm goony?
  11. Would you prefer the bow/courtsey? I'd prefer nothing. It's silly. Acknowledging the crowd is weird? Just end the game and walk off? yes, it is. This has to be the dumbest pet peeve I've ever heard of.
  12. It bothers me that that ref looks like Leon from Curb too.
  13. it's just lack of patience. We did get a nice chance out of a Bradley long ball before Slovenia scored their second, though I just thought it was kind of weird that we kept going for a hail mary when Slovenia would immediately get the ball back and start applying the pressure again (prior to the 1st goal).
  14. Also, doesn't it seem kind of dumb to keep going for the long ball from our own half when our best players are Donovan and Dempsey. We can't win balls in the air for crap either.
  15. Ian Darke kept raving about how we were turning the heat up and made it seem like we had the momentum. Except you miss those chances and you get demoralized.
  16. Athletically yeah. The idea of him looking at a defensive end and making the right decision is kinda scary though.
  17. I thought they were decent but I think Briggs, Urlacher, Pisa starting with the depth developed last year could be the best linebacking corps out of all the 4-3 defenses...especially if Tommie is motivated. Anyway, I was thinking about that SI article earlier and was wondering how Martz is going to incorporate wildcat stuff. He loves his gadgets. Taylor did some wildcat stuff didn't he or was that exclusively Harvin?
  18. But any German/Serb/Ghanan that already has a yellow and picks up a yellow in the next game is gone for the first knockout game no?
  19. So the Sixers would give up a shot at a potential franchise player just to get rid of Brand's deal? Although Turner and Igoudala is kind of redundant and I think Turner's more of a 2nd banana.
  20. Outside of the pockets of the internet where it's cool, and inevitable, to hate Simmons he's pretty popular.
  21. I think the sentiment was that Germany v. Serbia was pretty much a wash. It's the potential quarterfinal game that's a huge difference. What about all the yellows picked up setting possible suspensions?
  22. Philly's just gonna give us their #2 pick?
  23. I can't believe how much pressure and possession Germany is getting down a man.
  24. Podolski must have watched Kobe last night.
  25. North Korean players defecting maybe? http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100618/wl_asia_afp/nkoreafblwc2010prkfifa And this game is nutty.
