Roundup: Kyrie Irving Beats Spartans, Walmart Jacker Gets Lifetime Ban & 2011 Grammy Nominations
Taylor Swift, for the second time in a week … “Man charged with killing woman for taking phone call during sex” … NSFW photos of Gisele changing in a car … need to get this pilot in a room with Sully … two sports media jobs with “no future” … this sad story will leave you upset … are people really using mobile apps more than browsers on their smart phones? … David Simon is serious about newspaper corrections … NPR’s 50 favorite albums of 2010 … “Female passenger subjected to patdown ‘because her sanitary towel showed up on body scanner‘” … worth linking again – send it to your parents …

That’s two more times than I ever need to see Taylor Swift.
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:10 AM
Speaking of which, I caught up on the two episodes of Top Gear USA last night. It’s tolerable, and could actually be good if the hosts ever develop some kind of chemistry. Adam Ferrera is definitely the weak link, just a terrible choice.

I’m now going back through the game to get 3 stars on all levels. It’s very frustrating (refuse to cheat by looking on YouTube).
Steve Kerr-like player. Stand at the 3 point line and fire away (he actually did make a decent % though).
I bought a whopping one of these albums (Arcade Fire), and I can honestly say I’m only ever heard of about 8 to 10 of those bands/people.

Raptors are not good but they do have players that are capable of scoring when unguarded. The Wizards effort/give a shit/be a fucking professional level was as low as you’ll see in an NBA game.
Getting outrebounded 52-30 by the Raptors (w/Reggie Evans out of the lineup) AND allowing them to shoot 58% is inexcusable. The Raptors had 14 offensive rebounds on 37 missed FGs (I don’t recall any offensive boards on missed FTs but I did miss a few minutes in the 3rd qtr).
December 2nd, 2010 at 8:41 AM
i’m happy when i get a 3 star, but i really would smash my phone to bits on a bunch of the levels if that was all i would accept as success.

Some of the plot points they tied together felt a bit too cheap and neat and tidy, but largely I agree. By far the strongest episode of a “meh” season. They need to keep those bastards in Charming.

December 2nd, 2010 at 9:07 AM
Tim Thomas has the fluke magic working again this year, it’s fun to watch. Ovechkin leading in assists just means the Caps are getting better at popping in rebounds. Point three is too dumb to even debate with you. All I’ll say is: consider the source.

While we are talking TV series….
/***shoots SPOILER flare into the sky***
Caught up on Walking Dead last night. What a pile of dog shit this show turned out to be. They spent 15 fucking minutes having the blond chick bent over her dead sister. THEN, she waits til her sister becomes a zombie to shoot her in the head?!! WTF sense is that? Shoot her in the head right away and get it over with. Then the way they handled Jim was beyond retarded. If someone is bit, they are done. Darrell the redneck seems to be the only one who gets it. Then they leave Jim by the side of the road so he can turn into a zombie and possibly eat someone else who passes by that road. So fucking stupid. They are dragging about 25 minutes worth of writing into an hour show. The acting plus implausible course of actions by the people left make it borderline intolerable. Yet I will DVR it next week and watch it just because I’ve stuck with it this far.
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:08 AM

That’s kind of, ya know, the show. Not any more or less murders than The Sopranos, which makes sense considering its being made by one of the chief creative forces of that show. I enjoy it, don’t think it’s the bee’s knees, but it has Omar Little and he has guns.
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:14 AM
Then the way they handled Jim was beyond retarded. If someone is bit, they are done. Darrell the redneck seems to be the only one who gets it. Then they leave Jim by the side of the road so he can turn into a zombie and possibly eat someone else who passes by that road. So fucking stupid.
The worst part of that stupid sequence was how very, very closely it was followed by that drunken guy who was Truman’s best friend in the Truman show (and also the tough guy in Beautiful Girls) burning up his freshest zombie samples. Where o Where can he get new fresh zombie samples, and which non-zombie will have the guts to go get them?

Maybe a couple days after zombie apocalypse, but these people have been at it for weeks, they know the drill. And furthermore **SPoiler**
Jim should have taken it upon himself to take one in the head. That is the ploy I hate most in Zombie movies; dude can’t bring himself to shoot a loved one who is walking around with puss coming out of the mouths so they end up getting eaten or have their zombie friend kill someone else.

Other than Human Target and the Good Guys which are both awful in their own ways, I’m not watching anything too new at all.

i completely disagree with you on this one. if follows the graphic novel pretty well for the jim story line, but i honestly thought they could have done it better.
the cdc thing is a departure and i didn’t like how they introduced it, but a really good idea.

Oh I definately could. I would rather see him dead as a human than alive as a zombie. Does that sound weird?
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:25 AM
Yes, he has an edge and the play in question was borderline. However, the label of being ‘dirty’ is undeserved. I’ve seen dirty players (Ulf Samuellson, Bryan Marchment, Darius Kasparitis, Dino Bitcharelli, etc…) and Crosby doesn’t fit. Even Ovie, who has way more stamps on his borderline dirty play card, is more reckless than he is dirty.
He’s a good goalie but he’s not exactly technically sound. If I were the Bruins, I’d be looking for trade partners while he’s hot.

Heat are going to be tired. they spend a lot of energy trying last night to blow out the lowly Pistons in front of 12000 fans. I’m not sure of the current line, but I will be putting my coins on Cavs +points and maybe a flyer on the ML if it is favorable enough.

it computes.
in the graphic novel jim is bitten and chooses to become a zombie so that he might see his family again. they leave him at the camp site. it’s pretty straight forward and begs the question: if it’s his choice, who are we to argue, and who are we to say he won’t find his family. in the show they already laid it out that there is something basic, with morgan’s wife from the pilot, being able to find the home she died in.
in the show, i wasn’t crazy about how they showed his getting sicker and sicker, that’s the only thing i didn’t like so much, i think they dragged that out a bit. it still asks the same question as the graphic novel does, however.

That’s the biggest problem though, it’s not fun and I don’t think it’s trying to be either. The problem is that the show is trying for moments of innocence and poignancy while a redneck is driving a pick-axe through a dead zombie’s skull. I don’t think the juxtaposition is working.

however in this show, they are beginning to ask the question of what separates us from the zombies? when do people lose their humanity in their fight for survival?

I don’t understand how there are so many partially eaten people in Atlanta. You’d think a horde of zombies would be able to finish off a person or two.
And how do zombies digest brains anyway? Anaerobically?
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:57 AM
I fail to see what the incredible pain is. The Official Saints Cookbook says one only needs a shovel and a carving knife.
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:57 AM
By the way, where is NDub to tell Cleet to stop watching if he doesn’t like it, or am I the only one who gets that from NDub? Is that our special bond?
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:58 AM
The Official Saints Cookbook says one only needs a shovel and a carving knife.
you left out the 38 beers from step 1.
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:58 AM
YES!
Dec 17th I’m sure Vlad, JHS and I will have similar discussion.
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:59 AM
Yes, which was certain to succeed by the way and having an infected person in the back of the camper in the caravan was a delightful plan. They are lucky Jim didn’t get them all killed.
December 2nd, 2010 at 9:59 AM
I’m guessing you picked these lyrics up from the country remix of the original song? Did it have a bitching banjo solo? Or was it covered by Nickelback?
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:00 AM
You should see the special teams thing Geez sent me on the Oilers yesterday. Yikes. That is a dysfunctional unit in Edmonton.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:00 AM
I think it just passes right through them.
/not confirmed by me
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:00 AM
And how do zombies digest brains anyway? Anaerobically?
My guess is that unless the Zombie is making active use of it’s mucous membranes then the gastric acid in the stomach would eventually dissolve flesh and the zombies own lower organs and, ummmm, leak out.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:01 AM
Gotcha.
Yeah, would’ve been nice if Lucas did something last night. That was Sherman’s best game since setting foot on campus though. Played with a lot of confidence.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:01 AM
this damn turkey in our backyard has decided to stay. its badass looking, but i guess its time to call animal control.
a “cold front” dropped the overnight temp to about 57 last night. About 3:30 AM, I heard one of those fucking raccoons scratching at out soffit, trying to get into our attic to get warm. I looked outside, and saw two more on the neighbors trash can, trying to get the lid off and eat dinner.
If I could, I would kill every one of them on the face of the Earth

I forgot the /Jersey’d tag.
Like I said, it’s hard to shit talk when your own team has been doing an impression of the Islanders for the last 3 years.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:03 AM
I liked Human Target last season. Not sure about all the changes they’ve made so far.
And Walking Dead is awesome. It’s easy to say we would act in a certain way. Fact is we all know the people who would be acting like idiots regardless of the situation.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:03 AM
I realize I’m watching a fictional show about zombies but I find it incredibly hard to believe that only ONE PERSON is alive inside the CDC. If there was some sort of crazy virus that turns people into zombies, and if the CDC does in fact have barriers like the ones on the show, then there sure as fuck would be more than one asshole (with an ample supply of booze, by the way) living inside and working on finding a cure.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:03 AM
What the fuck man. All I said was that Rick was hesitant to kill a person who had just got bitten because he didnt want to later find out the CDC had gotten the vaccine, I didnt say it was a brilliant, sound, absolutely infallible plan. Once again, it’s about emotion and whether you are willing to kill another human before they are actually a zombie. Whether you think you would absolutely be able to do so has nothing to do it.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:03 AM
Ha I missed that. Well done.
/high fives Zeus, again!
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:04 AM
tallguy, cut me a break. I drank a ton last night, I was pissed. I saw Irving in a few games but wasn’t paying too much attention.
He’s good. That’s all.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:05 AM
Senator, you liking the new J.Cole?

December 2nd, 2010 at 10:06 AM
Me: So, is the zombie show worth watching?
Everyone who bitches about it: Yeah, absolutely.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:06 AM
THis I agree with. I’m gonna have to hear a good explanation of ths.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:06 AM
And all I’m saying is that it was a bad decision. I don’t mind trying improbably courses of action but when it puts your entire caravan at risk then it is open to criticism.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:06 AM
Zombie v Vampire v Goblin… 3 way handicap match.
Who wins?
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:06 AM
What I would give for the Leafs to only have sucked for the last 3 years.
I guess we’ll just have to resort to the usual “Easterners are pussies”/”Westerners are inbred hicks” banter.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:07 AM
The FNL mixtape? Or something newer?
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:07 AM
Spencer, how much is Sullinger getting paid this year?
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:07 AM
Friday Night Lights.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:08 AM
I don’t hate the show but I do find some parts annoying. However, the invention of the DVR makes it possible for me to fast forward through the these parts get right to the action. Plus it’s different than anything else out there.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:09 AM
Fire. He went IN on the song with Pusha and Kanye.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:09 AM
Like I said, I stuck with it hoping it would get better and pick up the pace and now I have to see how it ends.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:09 AM
We all know this. That’s the point of the show at this point. People making decisions, seeing what works, getting smarter. You were complaining like you found it unbelievable that people would make decisions that are not completely rational. I find it completely believable.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:10 AM
Vampires
Eric Northman would destroy a fucking platoon of zombies without breaking a sweat.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:10 AM
Terriers > Walking Dead
The season finale was exceptional last night. I just hope it doesn’t end up being the series finale. Even if it ends up that way, it would of been an appropriate ending.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:11 AM
Menarky, I remember you mentioning that yesterday, so it’s a wild turkey? that is crazy, normally those things are sketchy as hell. pretty cool actually. is it a tom?
it is a tom. i have a bird dog, and she goes nuts when she sees the turkey and i am pretty sure that turkey could do some damage. but it is pretty neat having it hanging around.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:11 AM
Spencer, how much is Sullinger getting paid this year?
his education is priceless.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:11 AM
Am I crazy or has there been no World Cup post? Seems odd.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:11 AM
you know, i honestly believe he’s legit. from c-bus, brother went to OSU…if it were oden or conley, id say A LOT, but not in this case.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:11 AM
Yes, there would be people acting like idiots but these are seemingly rational people discussing courses of action and making dumb moves and breaking all sorts of zombie code in doing so. That is worth criticism. I’m telling you Darrell is the only guy who has his head on right.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:11 AM
What I would give for the Leafs to only have sucked for the last 3 years.
I only went back 3 years cause 2006 was a complete fluke. Realistically I could go back to the early 90′s. Still, I get your point.
I guess we’ll just have to resort to the usual “Easterners are pussies”/”Westerners are inbred hicks” banter.
I’m sure once I get a couple emails from local Leafs fans my blood will be sufficiently boiled to partake in much more intellectual trash talk.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:12 AM
I think they drove straight.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:12 AM
It’s on repeat right now. You listen to Curren$y and Wiz?
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:12 AM
Also Walking Dead is the worst written show on cable and that includes Blue Mountain State.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:12 AM
The Vampire is taking out the Zombie within 5 seconds and then recruiting the Goblin as his henchman.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:13 AM
None that I’ve seen. I’m hearing Qatar made a strong final push though, which would suck. A lot.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:13 AM
It’s Iberia and Qatar.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:14 AM
For Fios is Terriers anywhere on demand? I looked for it to catch up on the past episodes and couldn’t find it.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:15 AM
Sanders – What did you think of SOA finale? That was surprisingly good and has bought itself several episodes on my DVR next season.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:15 AM
Because BigLeadSports hates soccer.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:15 AM
Zombie v Vampire v Goblin… 3 way handicap match.
Does the Vampire know that the Zombie’s flesh is infected? Does the zombie infection affect the Vampire in any way? Substitute werewolf for goblin.
So many issues to be clarified before a response can be provided.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:15 AM
nothing on the NSFW Gisele pics? not worth the click?
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:15 AM
It depends what kind of zombie/vampire/goblin we are talking about.
Zombie could be walking dead slow ass walker or crazy fast zombie like resident evil.
Vampire could mean wimpy immortal or freak with crazy powers.
Goblin could be little meek thing or crazy LOTR armor plated creature.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:16 AM
the dude probably killed his buddies to get a good brain sample for tests. he’ll probably try to nab a few of the main character’s too, and they will escape out of there.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:16 AM
Ya, me too.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:17 AM
Is this true!?
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:19 AM
If this is true, hockey must have raped BigLeadSports’ mother.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:19 AM
England eliminated in first round of voting. WHHAAAAA WHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:19 AM
I’m beginning to think so. No Onion Bag in a while. Some pretty interesting things going on. Just a blurb in the round up about the massacre that was Monday afternoon. Oh well.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:19 AM
That’s another thing that pissed me off. I’m not a CDC/biology lab expert but I know for a fact the lab is set up to prevent you from knocking shit over with the air tube. The tubes are hung from the ceiling so you can move around the lab freely. Well, as freely as you can while wearing a hazmat suit.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:20 AM
Pretty weak pics.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:20 AM
nothing on the NSFW Gisele pics? not worth the click?
I clicked it. Her boob hangs nicely, but she’s not very curvy. She’s changing clothes in a car, so the images are kinda sketchy. And she pretty much has a skinny man ass.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:20 AM
Call me crazy I just think it’s a TAD hackish for an alleged big sports blog to ignore a story like this.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:20 AM
Key words: “at this point”.
The thing about that situation is that it’s one where successive, emotion-driven bad decisions ought to rationally and naturally come with a higher price in lives to be paid. I’m not familiar with the graphic novels so I don’t really know what to expect later on, but if these folks don’t smarten up some and still keep getting away with it to breathe another day, they’re going to lose me.
I’m already suspending disbelief enough to accept the premise of zombies as a starting point, but I can only go so far. heh
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:21 AM
You know that from watching Outbreak don’t you.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:21 AM
Wow. Wtf?
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:22 AM
Same. I think they spent way too much time this season in Ireland playing “Where’s my baby?” and then had to rush the last couple episodes to tie up the storylines. Given that, they did a great job bringing closure to everything and the finale montage was great, if a bit too “hey, it’s Shakespeare!” in some stretches. But I liked it and it has rekindled my interest in the show, which was near zero at some points this year.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:23 AM
Call me crazy I just think it’s a TAD hackish for an alleged big sports blog to ignore a story like this.
you’re crazy
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:23 AM
England had no chance. All the corruption whistleblower stories came out of England, cost them the vote.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:23 AM
This got me thinking. Can a Monkey or even better a Gorilla be infected by a Zombie. That shit would be awesome.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:23 AM
I’m very close to bitching to TBL about this. Even Duffy hinted to me on twitter that he’s not writing much soccer for TBL these days, which is pretty sad.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:23 AM
damn I miss Razorback basketball when it was good.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:23 AM
2022 down to us and Qatar according to Al Jazeera. Qatar has to get it.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:24 AM
they’re going to lose me.
they kept daring you to stay this long, with their “too intense” warning, and also having the first season be 6 episodes. Nobody who watched the first 4 was quitting when there was only two left.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:25 AM
I’m very close to bitching to TBL about this. Even Duffy hinted to me on twitter that he’s not writing much soccer for TBL these days, which is
pretty sadfucking great.go read his blog, or the 500,000 other soccer blogs. WAAAY too much soccer on here for about 6 months. A little soccer is fine, but it was over-emphasized
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:26 AM
Well it’s the announcement for the next two World Cup hosts, it’s a pretty big story and not actually about any games.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:27 AM
go read his blog, or the 500,000 other soccer blogs. WAAAY too much soccer on here for about 6 months. A little soccer is fine, but it was over-emphasized
that was a pretty big tournament in the deadest month for sports anywhere. I can’t figure out why people don’t just embrace soccer as something to do when it’s dead.
You don’t have to watch soccer instead of anything. Just use it to fill gaps.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:27 AM
I still think it is pretty insane that the WC ahs been around for 80 years and that they’ve hosted it ONCE, and that it might be another 20 before they do again.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:28 AM
True. For this season, that applies to me for sure. As far as multiseason addiction viewing goes, though, that might be a different story. I could still see myself getting annoyed and bailing later on.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:28 AM
Hear, hear
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:28 AM
Well it’s the announcement for the next two World Cup hosts, it’s a pretty big story and not actually about any games.
Mole, the important part is really the answers, not so much the buildup. Honestly, in an hour it will be news. Now it’s just waiting.
Just like the stupid Cam Newton thing. Way too much coverage, and way too much us being told how important the story was, only yesterday, we got actual news, and now it’s not news anymore, and none of it was.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:28 AM
Well it’s the announcement for the next two World Cup hosts, it’s a pretty big story and not actually about any games.
wouldn’t you wait to have a post announcing who the host countries are? Otherwise, you end of having two posts
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:28 AM
Fuck both of you.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:29 AM
Funny, I really liked the book Outbreak. But no, I’m a biology major and we discussed the CDC in one of my bacterial biology classes.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:29 AM
Uh that was supposed to have “iberia and qatar” in it.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:29 AM
dirt & I get it
/eat shit, Rollo!
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:30 AM
There was no Outbreak book. It was loosely based on some things in The Hot Zone.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:30 AM
There is a good amount of soccer fans here. TBL is a casual fan. He has a pretty good writer. We’re not asking for coverage of every league, every player, and every story.. but there have been some pretty big things going on that went uncovered. And the US potentially getting a bid to host another WC is a pretty big story.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:32 AM
As opposed to the fifty million Favre posts. Or the fifty million Cam Newton posts. Or the fifty million LeBron posts. Duffy or TBL could even (gasp!) throw an update in the post and not have more than 1.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:33 AM
I hear you. But there are probably as many or almost as many people who would like to see hockey coverage as who would like to see soccer coverage. As someone who has no interest in either but would like to see everyone happy, I say both should get equal coverage, but I don’t see the bottom line numbers to know what kind of fiscal sense that makes. I’m just speaking out of my anus.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:34 AM
False. Outbreak by Robin Cook.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:34 AM
Listen all I’m asking for is some coverage of news of the biggest sporting event in the world. This is a sports blog. If you see a problem with that, you’re probably a HUGE NBA fan.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:35 AM
TBL is a casual fan.
of sports. He was a fan of soccer coverage this summer, and soccer games. He’s a world cup fan.
How about a post on how Atletico Madrid lost yesterday to some piece of shit team in Europa League contributing to my frustrated, fatalistic tailspin on cent sports?
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:35 AM
Oh that one. There’s no connection between the book and the movie, thought that’s what you were saying. They used Hot Zone, not that one.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:35 AM
Are you also not using your biology degree like me?
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:36 AM
Yea. I also really liked the Opie scene. That guy is awesome. Whatever they do next season they have to give Opie some more camera time.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:37 AM

RUSSIA!
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:37 AM
Listen all I’m asking for is some coverage of news of the biggest sporting event in the world. This is a sports blog.
you’re asking for coverage of the announcement of locations of the biggest sporting event in the world, locations that don’t come into play here at all unless the US is one of them, and even then probably wont’ involve any infrastructure building at all.
And calling this a sports blog is just plain silly.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:39 AM
Kurt Sutter seems to have a difficult time “servicing” all the characters. He wisely has made the new prospects glorified extras. Maybe next season with story not being split between two continents or having to fill us in on all the Irish backstory mumbo jumbo some of the other SoA members will be brought more to the forefront.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:40 AM
Weren’t there multiple posts on the Olympic bids this year?
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:41 AM
You going to drop down to double digits?
since saturday night, I’ve lost 130 bucks. I spent 2 weeks trying to get paid from there, but never “qualifying” and this week I qualified every morning, but fell out every night. I needed money and winning bets, and kept losing big stupid bets.
Very frustrating. I’m down to 30 bucks and I really hate playing that game now.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:43 AM
No… there is some detail about the lab setup at the CDC in the Outbreak book. That’s why I was mentioning it. But I didn’t learn about the CDC from the fictional book.
Yep. Work in telecom. it’s been so long since I’ve done anything biology related I would have to go back to school and take refresher courses to get a biology job.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:43 AM
But see, I don’t care if there are a million or bazillion posts about those. He could make every other post about hats for all I care. The soccer talk has died down from once in a while to nil lately.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:44 AM
Weren’t there multiple posts on the Olympic bids this year?
if there were I skipped them, because that sounds stupid. Just like a World Cup Vote Preview Post sounds stupid.
I authorize you to bitch when there’s no onion bag later today indicating the announcements. Not a second before.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:45 AM
I tried watching soccer… I really did. I got into the USMNT, that’s it. Only for the WC as well (clearly short lived). The other teams I can’t get into, I don’t like the game or it’s pace and the lack of physicality hurts my general interest.
It’s about proximity for me. I don’t have interest in a sport I can’t attend. Not liking the actual game itself or understanding it only hurts that.
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:47 AM
Shitload easier for you to see an MLS game than a Yankees game, chief.
