  1. Vanderbilt's head coach just resigned with an interim being named this afternoon. NU opens the season at Vanderbilt.
  2. Seats would be farther away and more expensive - greed and things as innocuous as ADA regs will ensure that. Ignorant people whine and cry about support columns, so do away with those - and do away with the fantastic upper deck and cover from the weather. The big-dollar ticket holders don't want to mix with the unwashed masses, so a crowd control moat will run from foul pole to foul pole, just like the abominable new Yankee Stadium. For these reasons and a million more, the "best architects in the world" won't be allowed to build a better Wrigley. It'll have giant Itchy & Scratch Land-style parking lots and both bathrooms and concession stands as far as the eye can see, though. The seating really would suck. Right now, the cheapest seats are pretty close to the field. Kiss the best upper deck in baseball goodbye if there's a new stadium.
  3. Yeah, that's a red. Even in the final he should've been sent off.
  4. Forlan finding new ways to score.
  5. UGA loves their drinking and driving:
  6. I, for one, would love to go to a weekend game in Schaumburg when it's 15-20 degrees hotter than it is in Wrigleyville.
  7. http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l5ar3nom3d1qzptwgo1_500.jpg (never mind the fact that they screwed up the ratio)
  8. According to JA Adande, LeBron in the 2007 finals got a 6.2 rating while, according to Stewart Mandel, his Decision special got a 7.3 rating, which is higher than 95% of NBA games.
  9. Findley also had a 1v1 chance against the Fire's keeper reminiscent of the one he had in the USA-Ghana match. He didn't even get a shot or a pass off. Findley didn't even get in all that close right away. He had a shot. No idea why he didn't try to get one off. Taking the ball out to the byline just killed that play. As the broadcasters said, RSL didn't play all that well. Especially considering the lineup the Fire had out there in the 1st half. Too bad they could get any of those headers to find the back of the net (2 by Kinney and 1 by McBride).
  10. How have I not followed Stephen A. Smith's twitter account before? It looks like half of his tweets are responses to people calling him a moron:
  11. Fire rookie Steven Kinney is making his MLS debut tonight. Within a period of 10 minutes early in the 2nd half, he's hit both posts on strong headers off corner kicks. Either would have been an equalizer.
  12. Pretty blatant dive by Findley to get awarded a PK. Even if there had been the contact he was pretending to have happened I don't think it should have been a PK.
  13. Journalistic integrity.
  14. One of my favorite tweets of all time: From 45 minutes ago.
  15. "A buddy" "saw THAT" "apparently"
  16. It's his accountant: http://www.wshscpa.com/
  17. Awful German defense there. How do you fail to clear the ball in that situation?
  18. :banghead: :banghead: I'd also have a better feeling about a player who was really deciding between 2 teams as opposed to one that had at least 5 legitimate options.
  19. The Boys and Girls Club has its headquarters in Atlanta, so clearly he's going to the Hawks.
  20. Well that was legit. Netherlands vs. Germany, please.
  21. Uruguay got screwed there.
  22. Decent bend for such a hard shot, but there's no way that's saved with just one hand.
