We have ridiculous depth at the holding mid, but he is immediately top choice, imo. See ya Mastro. I wish he could go to Confederations Cup. Maybe he will get some playing time in the Gold Cup. I'm just curious to watch him play some as I pretty much never watch the Bundesliga.

Schalke midfielder Jermaine Jones to play for the US instead of Germany. I know nothing about him but he's 27 and has 3 friendly caps for Germany. I would rather we had gotten Rossi, but oh well. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=654395&sec=worldcup2010&cc=5901

stop cheating and you won't get penalized by the ncaa. I'm pretty sure most bigtime programs cheat. A lot. They're just good at not getting caught. Or in Nick Saban's case the first couple of months on the job.

Dotel or Jenks?

I don't think the NCAA has double standards against Alabama. I'm sure if SMU got accused of something they would take it seriously also. They certainly don't deserve to be on the same playing field with schools who never get reported for any violations. Saben was reported for several violations his 1st couple of months on the job for recruiting contact, sounds pretty similar to to Kiffen. Don't get me wrong, I hope USC gets the entire book thrown at them but don't act like Alabama or "CNS" are innocent little angels.

Re: Braun turns down the Bachelor tv show
shnsajax replied to manbearcub's topic in General Baseball Talk
Braun was told he would have to "play the field", knowing how bad his defense sucks he turned down the offer. -
I wish the BlueJays had a need or reason to trade Hill.

They're throwing money in the wrong places. Their back line is ass. They're also making me love Barcelona. They spend $ on their academy and after all this spending, Real still won't get over on them. Although if Pelligrini can actually get this ego fest to listen to him, they are scary. I just hate seeing any team throw this kind of money out. I hope it fails miserably for them. Barca still look like the better squad and have things in place for years to come. I don't blame United for taking that kind of money at all.
-
Kaka, Ronaldo, and Villa all to Real make me really hate them again.

If Alabama forfeits the wins, it just means CNS didn't want those wins anyway. But I thought Alabama was the cleanest program ever to have lived? And what the hell is CSN? CNS = Coach Nick Saban No idea what CSN is though. Why are we adding the Coach part to Nick Saban?

If they actually get those players, then yeah its a success for Auburn. CNS didn't want any of those guys, so they're not good enough. Right................CNS doesn't need recruiting stunts like what Auburn is doing to get great prospects. And shnsajax there is no guarantee AU can get any of those players. Lattimore (high profile RB) has already removed Auburn as his favorite on dropped them down on his leaderboard. The only prospect AU was able to gain ground on was a solid OG name Mack I believe, who Alabama isn't even recruiting. Obviously, even if they get Verbal's that means nothing now a days. I'm saying if they actually sign then yes that program could be considered a success. I don't think it is going to work, but if they suddenly have a great recruiting class then its hard to argue.
-
If ever there were a good year to win in Azteca... If we give up another goal in the 1st 5 minutes were screwed with that crowd, but yeah a point at least is possible.
-
For a record transfer fee of $92M. That record didn't last long; ManU have accepted a bid of 94 million euro :shock: for Ronaldo from Real, who are now negociating with the player. Oh dammit ManU now have some money to spend this summer. They are probably working fast to get Ribery.
-
K's a lot, doesn't walk a lot. Hits for decent power but a lot of people seem to think he won't in the pros, sounds like he might have a hole in his swing or something Sounds like a Rob Deer or Russ Branyan, or worse, Jason Dubois. or Ryan Harvey or Tyler Colvin. At the same token this would mean the Cubs would actually draft a guy that makes the majors.

If you don't hook the fish when he eats the bait your not going to catch any fish.

+1 Congrats, Roger. I doubt it. I think 16-17 is his peak. He's going to be 28 in August and has to deal with Nadal, Murray and Djokovic, all of whom are four-five years younger than he is. Federer probably has 2-3 good years left in him and I'm not sure he can win, on average, every other major over that time (6 out of 12) to reach 20. I'm giving him 5 years, thats where I get that number but yes its going to be very tough. Wimbledon and the US Open are still great chances for him. I just think based on his style of play and health he has the potential to stick around and even reinvent himself. I keep wondering if Nadal's knees are going to hold up. They bothered him a few years ago during a championship match @ Wimbledon, and now I hear they are bothering him again. Nadal might be young and a fantastic tennis player, but knee problems are never a good sign. Roger appears to still be in pretty good health. I thought over a year ago that Nadal would already be starting to break down and that Djokovic would be Federer's main threat which I was off on. Nadal really impressed me this past year, and I was trying not to like him.

+1 Congrats, Roger. Made the finals in 15 of the last 16 majors, unreal. I think the question is, can he get to 20 majors before his career is over? I doubt it. I think 16-17 is his peak. He's going to be 28 in August and has to deal with Nadal, Murray and Djokovic, all of whom are four-five years younger than he is. Federer probably has 2-3 good years left in him and I'm not sure he can win, on average, every other major over that time (6 out of 12) to reach 20.

Federer wins the 1st two sets. Soderling put up a good fight in the 2nd, but I almost think he is going to get blown away here in the 3rd.

I got the impression tonight that Altidore was pretty much not insync with any of his teammates. Either a lack of communication or miss understanding each other. Jozy seemed to want to run the entire night towards goal rather than come back and setup the next pass.
-
Easily, at least I hope.

El Salvador 1 Mexico 0 Clint, once again I love you.

Landon is playing much better and running very well, but the services are killing me.
-
Yeah, this is my first time seeing him, and I can't say that I like him much so far. I'm trying to figure out why he is considered greater than Kenny Cooper?
