Rafa's men won't go to Israel: Rafael Benitez has stated that Liverpool will not go to Haifa to play Israeli champion, Maccabi, in the first round of the Champions League. Resembles the same situation that Juventus faced in 1998 in going to Turkey to play Galatasaray after Italy refused to extradite Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan.

Regardless of how technical the league is, it's still borderline unwatchable because for 90% of the teams, the games just don't matter. Unless you are Chelsea, Man U, Liverpool, or Arsenal, you really don't have a shot at winning the League title. There hasn't been a team outside of that group to win the championship since Blackburn did it in '95. Seriously, can anyone really get excited for a Portsmouth - Reading game?

U.K. fans deserve whatever they get, as long as it's bad. Totally agree. Tubby was a class act throughout. Best of luck to him.

>If you remove all of the agriculture studies students from the Basketball team For f***s sake, you act like this only happens at A&M. Stop kidding yourself. Texas Tech had a guy with a 0.0 play for a year on their basketball team. Andy katzenmoyer could barely f****** read when he left OSU. This is an NCAA athletics issue, not an A&M issue. Quote from http://www.enquirer.com/editions/1999/12/05/spt_why_james_cant_read.html "Wayne Yates, formerly the basketball coach at Memphis State, once claimed an academic counselor had told him he “could keep a cockroach eligible for two years.” Andy Katzenmoyer maintained his standing at Ohio State with a cockroach curriculum featuring golf, music appreciation and AIDS awareness."

"worked maybe 10-15 hours and received several thousand dollars payment." Sounds like he's ready for the NFL to me.

I'll bet the four teams are glad that they didn't get this ref.

"Plummer acknowledged cutting off a vehicle because he was in a hurry to deliver a check to charity from his foundation." I love it. Man, what a great excuse! Now I know what I'm going to use next time I get pulled over by the cops. "Well officer, do you really want these albino orphans to starve or do you want to let me go?"

Fan Signs
Two classics from the Cal - USC ESPN Gameday a few years ago: "Beat The Commies" and "Go Football" And I personally witnessed these two at an A&M - OU game "Bob Stoops Smells Like Poops" and "Pop Ya Collar!" (With a big picture of an X-ray with a broken collar. Adrian Peterson had recently broken his collar bone).
