After Gadsby's historical piece a few days ago, I come to this little corner of the internet feeling that following a piece as hilarious as that is a daunting task to say the least. Hate him, disagree with him or not, you can't argue the guy can write great satire(That [read more]

Editor's Note: With all due respect and a thousand plaudits to "Dirty Tackle" (It's only fair... they spun off one of our series, too) we present the potentially true life and times of America's favorite soccer commentator, John Harkes.

It's like a contest. Try and guess the next banana peel NIGHTMARE APE WAYNE ROONEY, England's Ambassador to Football and redemptive bicycle kick specialist, will throw into his own path. Will he get a tattoo of Mike Tyson Chewing Evander Holyfield's Ear on his hairy back? (AHHHHNT: My guess last time, which was admittedly wrong; instead he hashed opened a leg just to watch it bleed and thereby abandoned his national side when most they needed him).

Former Barcelona ace Ronaldinho apparently inked a multimillion Euro deal today with Eli Lilly to endorse the depression treatment Prozac in a series of television ads to air during the upcoming European Championships. The commercials are to feature the Brazilian maestro not in his typical role as fun-loving ball-juggling superstar but "the real Ronaldinho," as he describes himself, "A man bludgeoned by depression, bereft of friends.

Hey NBC... the FBM Graphic Department is for hire.Well that certainly was nice of you, National Broadcasting Corporation. And unexpected we may add. We caught wind (more than a wind... perhaps gale-force the way the Inter-Net-Blogo-Sphere responded) that you showed a fancy little Major League Soccer teaser video during a pre-season throwball game on Sunday.

There has been too much uncertainty surrounding the Cesc Fabregas saga for too long now. One day you have Sandra Rossell's menagerie proclaiming that their baby is powdered, dressed up and ready to serve at the hungry Camp Nou; and the next day you have the knights of North London tutting at Spain's lack of dignity and refusing any sort of contact between the two clubs at all.

As you may have heard by now, the Wall Street Journal took a ... how do we put this? ... interesting story about our little soccer rivalry we have brewing here in the Pacific Northwest. I really want to believe that it's a genius piece of satire. But something tells me I'm giving the author too much credit.

It started as a Twitter daydream. Imaging Clint Dempsey and Michael Bradley duking it out during the weekend's Fulham/ Aston Villa game. Bradley however could not partake in the USMNT Midfiedler Celebrity Death Match because he arrived at Villa Park only the day before. Still we pictured what the fight might look like.
