Forget for a minute how played "Cars" is, that Gary Numan is 51 years old & wearing black nail
polish and that Trent Reznor's sweaty ass is probably only one drip into his keyboard away from
electrocuting himself on stage. What I'm feeling from this is the roving on-stage camera; it almost
makes you feel like you are part of the band except for the fact that you won't get check or a
groupie for watching this.

Should Charlie Sheen get the lead role in the never-to-be-released Mauricio Cienfuegos biopic? I
don't know if he can actually play --and that really doesn't matter because there will be stunt
doubles for that part-- but sweet, holy God in heaven has he got the look down pat.

On Sept. 20th PBS will air a new documentary entitled "The Golden Age of Soccer". I think it's
about a bunch of geriatrics who despite their advanced age still get up for the game. And I'm not
talking Claudio Saurez old, but "I remember when the balls had laces-old". Soccer Insider mentioned
it the other day but I thought I'd share the trailer with you all.

I'm taking the day off but there will be a few things popping up here over the course of the
morning/early afternoon leading up to the match. First up is the Azteca according to Eddie "No
Smiles" Pope.

Can we do this again? Please? And with more of whatever these two were drinking? What I would give
to have Jimmy Conrad handling this.

This Confederations Cup is good isn't it? Well, it's not actually that great
but it will do until the proper football arrives. Italy's unlikely exit has been the highlight so
far without a doubt.
Italy have the look of an aging team and with little in the way of flair coming through the
ranks and they definitely look a side to oppose at next summer's World Cup despite the bookies
still making them 14/1 shots.

We all know the dangers of drunken text messaging but I think as we move deeper into the age of
connectivity we need to pause for a moment to acknowledge the dangers of drunken Facebook status
updates.
My man KK noticed via Deadspin that Eric Wynalda had something of a late-night, 3 martini meltdown
after watching the Yanks lose to Italy and felt it was best that he share it with America.

Grab your 40's and pour some out for Mareclo Balboa's long, luxurious locks as they are going to
soccer hair heaven. Who will take over as Lord & Ruler of American soccer's Realm of Adventurous
Hairstyles? Who knows but a dance-off between Gino Padula and Frankie Hejduk for the throne is
looking more and more likely though.

I think I need a new tag that's just a "WTF" tag. I'd use it for random, inexplicable things that
make you wonder just exactly what it is you are looking at. Or things that you know what they are
but not why they exist.
Things like all-time Metro great Giovanni Savarese --who never actually played for RBNY but that's
just me being nit picky-- staring in an advert for OHSA.

Do I want to see a movie about a guy who's idol is Eric Cantona? No. But do I want to see a film

You really should read this. It's a bit long --in a good way-- so you might want to save it for
lunch time so you'll have something to check out while your sandwich crumbs get all up in your
keyboard. Designated Player Adam Spangler of This Is American Soccer went out to the New Jersey
headquarters of Peppe Pinton, the man who owns the rights to the New York Cosmos, and came back
with the tale of a man who after years of grandstanding and dillusion sounds a little desperate to
get back in the game.

Bea Arthur may have died last week, but her spirit lives on at ESPN the Magazine. Inspired by Ryan
Giggs' surprising receipt of the FA Player of the Year Award they've drawn up the Bea Arthur Select
XI; surprisingly there are a couple of MLS name in the mix next to geriatric geniuses like Maldini
and Inzaghi.

This is what I am messing with today. Stephen Perkins is a monster on drums while Dave Navarro is

"One guy emails religiously calling me a scum bag and saying that my mother should have had me
aborted. I get a lot of sh*t."
Sure he can be a bit of an annoyance from time to time --almost anyone can-- but is The Leprechaun
really that loathed by ESPN's soccer audience? The Guardian seems to think so.

Ah the 70's. What a fantastic era it must have been with all the bands in jump suits & afros,
muscle cars and professional athletes --soccer players no less!-- on TV encouraging you to harm
your body for money. Nowawdys every group dresses like sh*t, gas-gussling is frowned upon and no
one is allowed to sell you smokes on TV not even professional athletes.

As one of the team owners and club president out in Kansas City, Rob Heineman is like the head
Wizard in K.C. Does that mean he's cool with you calling him Gandolf? Probably not since he doesn't
appear to have the right amount of grey hair to pull it off. His interviewer though might be able
to pull it off with a fake beard though.

Creepy, creepy, creepy. I won't post it here but it's one of those videos that makes you go
"Oh Sh*t!" at the end. If you're curious you can watch it at my day job.

How can you not dig this sh*t in the morning? This is the sound of angels whispering the secret to
Messi's brilliance in your ear while inhaling an entire tank of laughing gas. It's just so giddy &
pretty. In my mind the video has a young Giorgio frolicking in a pristine, sunlit Alpine field with
a nubile young lady with high-waist bell bottoms and 70's boobs cradled snug yet loose in a
terrycloth sweater.

Did you ever see that skit on Chappelle's Show where the black NYC cop hears the beginning of
Poison's "Every Rose Has It's Thorn", throws up his hands in the air and screams
"Oh! That's my sh*t right there!" then looks at Chappelle and says "I can't help it,
I grew up in the suburbs." DM is kinda like that for me except I didn't grown up in the
suburbs but within earshot of one of the first radio stations in America to adopt an alternative
format, Dallas' KDGE 94.

God bless Tony Sanneh. He's still taller than Gooch wearing platform shoes standing atop a pile of
Landon's possibly-fading European dreams and he still wants to play despite the fact that he is
aged (for a footballer at least). But you guys gotta help me out with something here: does he have
one of those hang-down, handlebar mustaches or are those jowl lines?

Hey, have we ever talked about the Youri Djorkaeff music video? The man won a World Cup with France
and will always be one of the best players in MetroBull history but I'll be damned if this doesn't
belong in the hall of shame. On the positive side, it's no worse than Jordy.

His Ginger Majesty™ will be available for hot soccer chat at 2pm EST today over at Soccernet.
You really should send in your questions because it is highly likely that he'll give a
controversial answer that will be picked up by some lazy wire service or another. Just don't ask
him about his tattoo (we've already covered that.

I'm not posting this because I'm feeling the song but more out of respect for my cartoon rave
grandads. I actually danced on-stage with The Prodigy one night on the Music for the Jilted
Generation tour, which was easily the highlight of my non-DJing adolescent nocturnal adventures. In
the early 90's no one (not even Ed Chemical) created breaks so dense, energetic or as bassy as Liam
Howlett and I worshiped him for it.

Olde guys, can you remember when you were a kid a Benny Hill was the naughtiest thing you had a
prayer of seeing on late night TV? You would watch the entire show not-so-secretly hoping for a
nipple-slip knowing good and well no such thing would ever happen. Those where the days.

Who do you think would win in a bare knuckles, steel-cage ladder-match; Clint Eastwood or Chuck
Norris? Norris has the martial arts skills but Eastwood is just ornery and that's a wild card that
you can't put a value on.
He's got a new picture coming out that I kinda want to see just because he plays such a grumpy,
olde "I ain't changing for nobody" hard-ass in it.

Aston Villa keeper and Clevelander Brad Friedel has won a major award; the Barclays Merit Award.
Sadly it's not the kind that lights up and wears fishnets but it might have arrived in a box marked
"Fragile" (pronounced "fra-gee-lay"). Kudos to you old man for a record 167
consecutive Premier League appearances.
