If money is now soccer's God, then why are these Champions League quarterfinal matches not run as a TV doubleheader? Hmmm...#1 - Conor Casey, a large, bald target-esque striker that can be spotted easily above, was named MLS PotW. I mean, he's right there.

It's a busy day, and I'd rather be off getting Distracter-fied (or let's face it, eating a pizza... or both), so let's get to it...#1 - President Obama has written a letter firmly backing U.S. efforts to land a World Cup in either 2018 or 2022 that was hand delivered to FIFA chief Sepp Blatter.

It has been a mighty battle with the computer demons and I have emerged victorious to live another day...#1 - I have a sickness: I must link to any Jimmy Conrad interview... especially when he pimps the upcoming Arrested Development movie.By the way, if they can't get the original actor for some reason, I think Jimmy would make for a fantastic Franklin Delano Bluth.
