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?

What franchise has the best run of players at one position in history? Batter's Box says it's Left Field for the Red Sox, but plenty of other arguments appear in the comments.

Montana -> Young -> Garcia ... two hall of famers and one pretty adept ... I know, I know, this is baseball. But a very nice run indeed.

Manchester United Complete Double The Champions League final was won on a sloppy rain-soaked pitch in Moscow when Manchester United held off 10-man Chelsea on (gag) penalties after John Terry slips taking decisive attempt.

Yeah John Terry is a real stand up guy link 1 link 2 link 3 I know these were all several years ago and he's remained fairly clean since, but I wouldn't say he represents everything good about the game. Someone like Dirk Kuyt is way better suited for a title like that. Gentlemanly, charitable and hard working. Terry is certainly one of the best at what he does but I think falls just a bit shy in the humanitarian race.

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.
posted by justgary at 03:56 PM on February 26
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.

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.
posted by BoKnows at 08:45 PM on February 25
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

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.

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.

Not to defend this guy, but he did own up to his mistakes in the comments section. I can see where he got the idea that noone cares though. I am an avid soccer fan/player. When I look to the media for information, it's very difficult to find over here. If I didn't know the more obscure places to look, I would think no one in the states cared about soccer. While I know we're a minority, I do know there are those of us who care.
This guy searched quickly, and in all likelyhood, in the wrong places for information. This was a blog and not an article. Poorly done mind you, but these are the kinds of things we should just ignore and keep walking past.
