US names World Cup Roster Bruce Arena named his 23 man squad today. Congrats go to all the players and here's to a successful campaign in June. Who do you think should have made it but didn't or should have been left out but made it?

Tony Kornheiser Hates Sportsfilter If a huge dumpster landed on their mother's house, and got all the way into the basement and crushed them, nobody would care. Nobody would miss them. They provide nothing good, no service that's any good at all.

Well, to most bloggers -- fuck you right in the ear
HAHAHA ... ouch!
I don't personally like Kornheiser, but I'd agree that he, and any other "sports" personality able to land a job on the biggest sports channel in the states, knows more about sports than I do. I go to work and bang on a keyboard all day, but those guys go and deal with sports and sports issues all day. How can they not have the knowledge?
Stephen A is the same. Although maybe a one-trick pony (basketball), he obviously knows many of the ins and outs. These two are as annoying as a little sister, but that doesn't lessen their knowledge.
Listen to Dan Reeves on the radio sometime. He gives so much insight when he's talking, but listening to him is akin to having sulphuric acid poured over my junk and wiped off with steel wool.
In reality, most of us couldn't do a better job ... maybe some of us could be more likeable, but that's it.

The Ten Best Individual Sports Rivalries Men's Vogue lists what they believe are the ten greatest individual sports rivalries in history.
posted to General at 3:59 PM CDT
I whole-heartedly have a very strict definition of what a sport is or isn't. But easy enough to point out that chess fits definition number 3 above. I don't believe chess is but MY definition of a sport comes from my heart and not a dictionary. I think many activities can be defined as a sport using Webster's.
As for the soccer and football aspect of this list, I don't think there have been many one-on-one rivalries in either sport. That is what this list is about. Man on Man action (the good kind).

Overpaying a player once is OK, as long as you learn from it. Going into the 2008 season, 124 baseball players hold contracts with an annual salary of $8 million or more. Getting a contract of that value generally means a player has shown his worth with great performances or long-term durability. Teams, however, sometimes overpay for past performance.

But if you pay a player $8 million and he performs like a $1 million player, then you wouldn't have cared if the other team had gotten him. So really, you pay a player $8 million because you want him to play like an $8 million player.

Asian Football Confederation joins growing backlash against EPL globalization plan. [Follow-up to an earlier post ...] Reacting to the EPL's proposal to play an extra week of league matches outside of England (beginning January 2011), the AFC head said, "With relation to the overall principle, it is my belief that it is not a good idea to organise domestic leagues in territories other than their own." The US Soccer Federation has already said the same thing. Australia, Japan and Korea FAs also echoed the sentiment. The English FA is grilling EPL chairman Richard Scudamore today on the proposal.

What happens when Man U and Arsenal are tied (or close) after 38 games and Man U gets Derby while Arsenal draws Man City? This just doesn't seem very logical or well thought out. I could see playing one of the 38 games as an away game for someone but then who do you pick to lose a home game? I would love to see some of these teams come to the states more often, but I don't think it should be at the expense of the Premier League race.

Pedro Martinez, Juan Marichal filmed at cock fight A video of Martinez and Marichal at a cockfight was posted this week on YouTube and it showed the two laughing before releasing the roosters. They took part as honourary "soltadores," the word used to describe the person who puts the animal to fight. The fight takes place in their home country, the Dominican Republic, where cockfighting is legal and popular. It is banned throughout the United States

Chickens are jerks
MMMMMMM. Jerk Chicken.
It's just two guys, standing in a ring, smiling at each other, with their cocks in their hands.
I seem to remember this happening in some movie back in the eighties. Night Shift keeps coming to mind but I can't be sure.

I think you mean Night Patrol.
Hehe. I think you're right. Although I can't remember one single other thing from the movie. How do you remember one scene from a movie and it's the naked guys bumping dicks. How humiliating.
The link to imdb shows Pat Morita as "Rape Victim". Now that's funny.

Call me crazy, but I still say they are arguably the best single-season team in history.
I have to agree with Hal. This team can still be considered at the top of the list. Maybe not THE top, but close to it.
At best, they're the 43rd best team in history. You need to win the Super Bowl to even be in the conversation. All 42 superbowl winners deserve to be ranked ahead of them.
Winning a Super Bowl 20 years ago doesn't make you better than the team that lost the Super Bowl this year. Easy enough to point out the fallacy in that thinking. Tiger Woods isn't taken off the greatest golfer list after losing a major.
On Sunday, one of the great teams got beat by a very good team. This is how sports works. Sometimes the underdog wins. It's why many of us watch. The better team doesn't always win. Only 3 teams have ever won 18 games in one season. How can that not make them at least nearly as good as those two teams (85 Bears and 84 49ers)?
I'm a 49er fan by the way and still think those two teams of the 80's are the best ever but I see the argument for these Patriots.

The Giants were the No. 5 seed in the NFC and the lowest-ranked wild card team to ever reach a Super Bowl
This was after a 10-6 season in which they lost to Dallas twice, Green Bay, Minnesota, Washington and New England. Those "6" teams (counting Dallas twice) had a combined record of 72-24, the bulk of which came from the 8-8 Vikings and the 9-7 Redskins. Just because they were a wildcard team, doesn't mean they were a bad team. They lost to mostly top quality opponents and other than the Ravens, gave the Patriots the biggest worry in the regular season. Plus, they were the five seed because two lesser teams (Seahawks and Bucs) won their division. The Bucs did it with a worse record and the Seahawks only tied the Giants record despite being in a MUCH weaker conference (and let me point out again, I root for one of those crappy teams).
And despite the beating that Brady took all night, he still managed an 82 passer rating.

ESPN's Dana Jacobson learns the Internet is always listening I didn't even learn about this until Jacobson apologized on her show Monday morning, but the question remains: Was one week away from the job that ESPN gave Dana enough of a consequence? Swilling vodka straight from the bottle at the podium and cursing Jesus?
