I'm not sure how this is a signal for the end of racism though, being as i'd guess that a significant amount of the votes were done along racial lines, on both sides. Something like 43% of whites voted Dem -- most to do so since Carter in 76 -- this is no small feat. It clearly IS a signal of subst...

This is going to suck. I want to see American players, not owners.
Good point, look how the Glasers have ruined ManUtd! :P

And American players are slowly but surely advancing, as I'm sure you've noticed.

Colts for sure. Peyton's the best passer since Dan Marino, and it will be nice if he could be rewarded with a SB win as Marino never was. More to the point, the AFC was the far better league and the Colts the better team. The Bears ended up coasting after an amazing start. Hell, my Seahawks took the...

hmmm, who's choice is that his or Vicky's?? Neither, it will be Beckhams corporate people. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=399471&cc=5901 At $50M/yr, clearly the only sensible choice. I can't believe those numbers -- I assume someone at AEG (the Galaxy's owners) has crunched the numbers....

Rothlisberger

Someone mentioned the Steelers previously and asked why they are sucking, and the answer is of course that their vaunted QB is I think showing his true stripes. He's a very average QB who has been blessed with above average receivers. I have felt that ever since I saw him first play. People claim th...

but they still have an intake of calories and they don't exercise. Your body will burn calories without you exercising - it's your Basal Metabolic Rate, in men it's around 2,000 calories. So you can sit on your ass all day and eat 2,000 calories and not gain a pound. Eat 2,000cal and do 500 calorie...

Run DMB to the EPL

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=377663&cc=5901 DaMarcus Beasley is one of my faves, though he's been poor of late. Still hoping he'll end up at BWFC some day -- given his pace and workrate he'd be a natch on the left wing of a 4-5-1. I reckon I'll have to watch a Citeh game or two now...

Not our year. Oh well. Yankees=American version of United. I'll keep fighting the good fight anyways. I'll say! I enjoyed witnessing my Mariners' sweep of the BOgusSOX on Sunday. What a day, 40,000 fans out at Safeco (I think 20K were cheering for the bad guys, tho). As for the NFL, I've been a Sea...

I hope they edit out the scenes which endorse braining your chums with a frying pan next. Honestly!

That being said, T&J can't hold a candle, or lit cigar for that matter, to the Looney Tunes gang. In the words of Daffy Duck, "It is to laugh."

Re: Your worst nightmare.............

Is an American show of strength. I have been asked to provide a preview of the US team, and if it's not too late, I will get around to it soon. More than anything I wanted people's unbiased feelings on the US chances. Yes they have it easy in CONCACAF, but they are a good team. Another question, do...
