Fitting that only days removed from the heartbreaking defeat of U.S. Hockey in the gold medal game
(I thoroughly appreciate the Facebook-suggested National Hate Sidney Crosby Day, and no, I still do
not want to talk about it), the U.S. Men's National Team would take to the field in the final match
it will play before the Yanks coaching staff selects the twenty-three men who will represent the
Stars and Stripes in South.

No es bueno – se dice – mezclar la política con el deporte (ya están mezclados).
Pero recordando que hace pocos días todos los presidentes de América (salvo Canadá y EE.UU.)
acompañaron en apoyo de la soberanía argentina sobre las Islas Malvinas, viene la
observación.
Argentina ya tiene su indumentaria para Sudáfrica (
titular y
suplente) y los tiempos

A Southend four-piece who dub themselves as one of the"best Folk-Punk bands" in England have made
it through to an unique national music final.
'Deferred Sucess' (sic) is the brainchild of Paul 'Doozer' Short, who lives in the south Essex
town. Doozer spent his teenage years touring with Southend punk legends 'The Rejects', before
picking up an acoustic guitar and writing songs about real life issues such as debt, relationships
and being in a band, stuggling to make ends meet.

To Whom it May Concern,
The United States has hosted the Winter Olympics on four occasions at three sites. Two of those
sites the people of NBC have determined don't deserve to see the Olympics live on NBC. Neither
Utah, nor California will be able to get live results on television in the USA, two states with
HUGE Olympic history are being ignored by a programming decision.

Journalists have had their say on John Terry – both the allegations and the likely fallout –
and so has Sports Minister Gerry Sutcliffe MP. Hundreds of thousands, probably millions, of people
have heard and been influenced by the views of these qualified individuals.
But what about the people who watch football week-in, week-out, people who have invested time and
money in the game?

One side came to Stamford Bridge last night with a fifteen match unbeaten record in the league
– and it wasn't Chelsea. Alex McLeish's Birmingham have had a great season so far and many
Chelsea fans – me included – felt yesterday's must-win game would be a tough encounter for
Chelsea.
As it was, Chelsea put three goals past their opponents without ever looking like getting out of
second gear.

Last night about midnight I was struggling to write my article on Saturday's draw with Bishop's
Stortford. As Bath City had thrown away a 2-0 lead at a key point in the season, I was finding it
difficult to write something that was truthful without being totally depressing. To lift the mood I
turned on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra to hear the commentary of the NFL playoffs.

There's been plenty of newspaper speculation over the past few weeks about Joe Cole, who is edging
his way towards been out of contract. Whilst the club's senior representatives have pained
themselves to make it clear that getting the attacking midfielder on a new contract is both a
priority and a likelihood, this hasn't prevented the rumours from circling Stamford Bridge.

Thanks to @ethanhays I just watched Ze Frank's Nerdcore Comedy, and truthfully
(minus the cheezy-looking graphics), I can't believe this was filmed in 2004. I'm posting it to my
site, because, well, let's face it he's absolutely hilarious. But beyond his witty sarcasm and
creative & forward-thinking technerd brain, I do think there is so much we can learn from ZeFrank's
2004 web/sharing mentality, even today.
