    I never played. But I was fortunate enough to announce it in college. I've been hooked ever since.

    I still run into ex-classmates who swear that I was their alarm clock on Saturday mornings.....

    GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    I dunno. U.S. is out, England is out, I've lost all interest. I don't even care who wins.

    Now the Phillies have been averaging something like 7.2 runs scored per game. That's pretty awesome! Hope they stay on the game now. That dry spell there was BRUTAL!

    I dunno, Rugby is a tough sport. I still think Football is more hardcore 'cause Rugby doesn't have 6 foot 9, 300+ pound linemen trying to squash your head like a zit. Rugby though, I've heard Rugby likened to a bar brawl with a points system. Watching the Australians play, I can believe it!

    Still 2.5 games out good sir. Go Bravos!!

    And I'd take Aussie Rules over Rugby in terms of sheer brutality.

    I think Rugby and football are enjoyably violent in their own ways. Rugby strikes me as a bar room brawl, while football strikes me as being hit by a car. I don't think rugby players normally hit each other at the speed our football players do, but they look to have more long-term wind in their sails more akin to soccer players.

    Yeah well, The Braves were 9 games back through most of the season until June.

    But it is prior to the all-star break so these games don't really matter much.

    I'd be surprised if the Braves ended up past the 1st round of the playoffs.

    With their rotation and bats coming alive? I'm not a homer, but as a fan... I gotta say... this is the most promising team since 2002. Juergen's will be back before you know it. And if Cox has the cajones to pull Kawakami (last start notwithstanding) and insert Melden, I'd be REALLY scared of this team if you're in the same division.

    Don't forget that as the weather heats up, so do the Braves. One of the few teams in baseball that can really boast a true home field advantage.

    I'll believe it when I see it. The Phillies have some pretty big bats as well and they can out gun any team in MLB right now. they have a good pitching staff as well and I'm hearing that they might be unloading Hole Camels in a bid to get Cliff Lee back in the club house on the cheap 'cause he's coming off of the DL.

    I know one thing for sure, this is going to be seriously exciting October! Especially in the National League. Here's hoping the Yankees implode!

    True dat. I'd love nothing more than for the Spankees to die in a fire. Slowly.

    No harm no foul. I didn't mean anything by it, that was just my first thought when I read the usual comments about how lame/boring soccer is, etc.

    I enjoy reading your posts/input, and I know you're not slamming me or anything. It doesn't matter what I think anyway :)

    Thanks Ja, I know you didn't mean anything by it I was just shocked that my humor didn't come through and got the responses I did. You be one of the gooduns':) I thought most here know when I'm kidding and when I'm not.

    BTW if you have a friend that is willing to give you their feedback on something that may think is out of line but won't, they're not much of a friend so what you think does matter, to me at least.;)

    That's why I'm so tight with Jesse, he pulls no punches and I have several of his footprints tatoo'd on my behind.

    I don't want no stinkin' mamby pamby to tell me what I want to hear, I want to hear what I need to hear!

    Now I know you are out of your mind!:eek: Rugby is a nose smashing, bone breaking game which a lot of atheletes including myself in the younger days stayed away from. I played football for many, many years and never got hurt as much as I would if I played rugby.;) I actually played a few games of rugby and after the third one I said, 'SCREW THIS' as I hurt in places I didn't know existed on my body. Like John said, it's an organized barroom, street brawl with points and some rules.

    However F1 racing is IMO exciting

    True that, brutha! If F1 racing bores you, you need to get your adrenal glands checked. WRC can be good, too.

    Next up, heavyweight grudge rematches, Netherlands vs. Brazil and Argentina vs. Germany.

    Those of you so crazy about pigskin football and 6'9" 300 lb. linemen would do to consider the fact that average lifespan among NFL linemen is 57 years, and read up on chronic traumatic encephalopathy. That is the term for the accrued brain damage from thousands of hits to the head that linemen endure from high school on. Many of them live out their post-NFL days in a tormented fog of pain and dementia. No wonder, their brains are mush, and you'll be seeing more of it mentioned.

    2 very good games comming up for sure. What I like about this world cup is that its up in the air,anybody's to win, no clear cut dominate team. As far as injury to the head goes,I blame the athlete, not knowing when to give it up. But as usuall,the money is too tempting, and that gets put before their long term health issues.

    FIFA's Blatter admits referee fail and promises review of technology. He mentioned England and Mexico getting robbed.
    Blatter confesses

    "The English said 'thank you.' The Mexicans, they just go with the head," Blatter said, indicating that they nodded. "I understand that they are not happy. It was not a five-star game for refereeing."

    He (and the ref) better hope the Mexican cartels didn't have a favorite son on the team or big $ on the game.

    And this just in:
    JOHANNESBURG (AP)—FIFA president Sepp Blatter warned French leader Nicolas Sarkozy on Tuesday that the country’s national team risks suspension from global football if he meddles in the running of the federation.

    Blatter said Tuesday he was sending a “clear and clean message” to the French government and President Sarkozy, who has said he would personally lead investigations into Les Bleus’ dismal showing at the World Cup.


    Man, he's like the Pope.

    I wasn't mad about that. In fact, it works both ways politically, sometimes more. An extra time goal by U.S. defender Bornstein- not a Honduran, obviously- pretty much defused a civil war in Honduras by sending them through on goal difference to the Big Dance.

    There's no more soccer-crazed country than Iran, and they've got satellite dishes everywhere. They crashed out in qualifying, but they're watching every game. They saw the heroics and class of the U.S. team when referees disallowed good goals, and the last minute victory over Algeria.
    It may not count for squat at the bargaining table, but there is respect gained there that no other event can offer.
    Their leaders can call the U.S. the Great Satan, but old G.S. sure takes losing a match in a classy manner.
    Their people see that.
