Well, not something completely different, but it is time for a change, time to shake things up here and get out of a rut, time to broaden the scope of this blog.
For close to a year now, for a variety of reasons, I've felt pretty burnt out on soccer and have felt the need to pull back. What I've learned in this time is that I'm less cynical and jaded when I get soccer in smaller doses and on my time and terms.
It seems like every year, Ed Reed of the Baltimore Ravens talks about retiring. However, Reed
recently admitted that he's going to return for the 2012 season. It will be his 11th season in the
NFL all of which have been with the Ravens.
Said Reed: "There's a lot of talk out there. I'm not going to say I'm 50-50, because I'm
not.
Wes Welker was arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL this season. The New England Patriots
star with cat-quick reflexes was a big reason why his team made it to the Super Bowl. However, in
the biggest moment of his life, Wes Welker dropped a pass a became a Super Bowl goat.
Check out the Wes Welker dropped pass video below to see the play for yourself.
Ya salió la nueva lista de Forbes y hay algunos cambios respecto al año anterior.
El Manchester United retuvo el tÃtulo de equipo más valioso del mundo, según la lista anual
publicada por la revista Forbes el lunes, que recoge los 50 equipos más ricos del mundo y que
estuvo dominada por los equipos de la NFL, pero en el top 10 aparecen 4 equipos de fútbol contra 4
de fútbol americano y solo 2 de la MLB.
The lead-up to Monday's top of the table showdown between Man City and Man United was inflated
by a number of erroneous and ridiculous claims of the match being a "title decider,"Â comparableÂ
to the Super Bowl and that the 650-million person global reach of the match's broadcast was
actually the estimated viewership.
It is a particular pleasure of mine to have been invited by my hero and inspiration, the good
Dr. Gumperteer, to contribute to this series of lectures. I owe so much to him. You see, my own
site, Sport Is A TV Show, struggled for years to attain the kind of success it so richly deserved.
Sure, such articles as "The 101 Greatest Manx Footballers", "Watching Football: You're Doing It All
Wrong, You Muppet", and "Lydersen: A Pal To Us All" attracted a golden shower of critical acclaim

Always the composed, corporate-friendly gentleman away from the game, David Beckham is a fierce
competitor on the pitch who has never shied away from telling a referee exactly what he's thinking.
This has gotten him in trouble from time to time and as he revealed on Saturday's episode of "The
Jonathan Ross show"; it's even gotten him kicked out of a Los Angeles area children's match just
for trying to defend a 7-year-old kid.
Though Chelsea ended a sloppy first half against Manchester United with a 1-0 off an Jonny Evans
own goal, they did suffer an embarrassment of their own and it had nothing to do with Fernando
Torres for once (maybe)!
In a pitchside ad for their own official website's megastore, the web address was spelled

Today is one of the most important days in the American sporting calendar, as the NFL's Super Bowl
takes place. But well before the rival Giants and Patriots kick off in Indianapolis, the real clash
of the titans will take place at Stamford Bridge. Either Manchester United or Chelsea have won the
last seven Premier [.
This article titled "How to get men watching women's football? Have them play in lingerie" was
written by Saman Shad, for guardian.co.uk on Thursday 7th June 2012 09.42 UTC
It's an idea as old as time. If you want to get a man's attention, enroll the help of a scantily
clad woman. It was probably what Mitch Mortaza, the founder of lingerie football, was thinking when
he spotted a gap in the market while watching the Super Bowl – you've got men playing American
football, you've got cheerleaders in skimpy outfits, what would happen if you combined the two?
Yes, I admit that I enjoyed American Football today, Super Bowl Sunday, but in the rest of the
world, Association Football was played as usual. Especially in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea,
co-hosts of the 2012 African Nations Cup.Yesterday, powerful co-favorites Ivory Coast defeated
co-host Equatorial Guinea 3-0.
There is this way in which people go around trying to compare soccer to other, "American" sports.
The comparison is inevitable, maybe -- or at least it was when soccer was still new and strange to
these parts.
Michael Jordan brought the Bulls a dynasty with that number. Devin Hester ran with it to the
Super Bowl, although the Bears didn't win that year. Cubs legend Ryne Sandberg also wore that
number, as did White Sox fielder Jermaine Dye when he was named MVP of the 2005 World Series.
The culmination of the European club season is upon us. Bayern Munich takes on aging interlopers
Chelsea in the Allianz Arena which happens to be Bayern's home ground. Â (For US viewers: kickoff
is at 3pmET, and the match will be televised on Fox's main network. Â In fact, the Fox networks are
going full bore with almost-Super Bowl levels of TV coverage see below for the full schedule.
Tuesday night's historic win by Chelsea against Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League smashed the
2012 Super Bowl's record number of tweets per second (TPS) on Twitter. The peak for the 2012 Super

During his year away from coaching the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League, will
Sean Payton entertain offers to become a pundit and prognosticator?
Lauren Cheney gets a step on Amy Lepeilbet, but Hope Solo stands between her and the
goal
After a brief week-long break since winning the 2012 Olympic Women's Qualifying Tournament in
Canada, the U.S. team has re-grouped in Frisco, Texas for a five days of training before facing New
Zealand on Saturday, Feb.
CNN suspended political analyst Roland Martin on Wednesday for "offensive" tweets during the
Super Bowl that some critics said were anti-gay. Martin twitted about a commercial that showed
David Beckham in underwear: "If a dude at your Super Bowl party is hyped about David Beckham's H&M
underwear ad, smack the ish out of him.
When it comes to announcing his presence at clothing stores, a gigantic poster is no longer
enough for Davey Becks. These days, he doesn't get out of bed for anything less than a set of huge
shiny Beckham effigies, dressed only in affordable high street underwear.
The LA Galaxy star's expectations were surpassed last night at the H&M store on London's Regent
Street, when he unveiled his new 'bodywear' line (aren't all clothes technically 'bodywear'?
It doesn't seem fair. Tebow belongs as a 'starting' quarterback. He deserves a shot. He's earned
the opportunity with a Heisman, national college championships and a pro playoff win.
Peyton Manning is about to have a new home. The legend formerly of the Indianapolis Colts has
decided what team he wants to play for next: the Denver Broncos. While the contract details still
need to be hammered out, insiders expect that it will get done within a few days.
By Jason Davis - WASHINGTON, DC (Feb 9, 2011) US Soccer Players -- The Super Bowl Experienceâ„¢
(possibly trademarked, I can't be sure, so better safe then sorry), is not an undertaking of small
expense. It costs money to fly to the predetermined Super Bowl city, spend a few nights, and, most
importantly, purchase a ticket for the game.
Robbie Keane scores against Newcastle United Sunday, but couldn't prevent the Birmingham club
losing 2-1 on Tyneside (AP Photo). *An uninvolving Super Bowl Sunday on this side of the Atlantic
Ocean (even the commericials were pretty dull, I thought) was saved by a gripping game on the other
side of
Well we all survived another weekend of Serie A, even if mother nature tried to screw that up
for us. Oh, and there was that little spectacle called the "Super Bowl," in which some sort of
beings of human form but superhuman size hailing from New York claimed the title [read more]
The last time the New York Giants faced the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl, the Giants
win was one of the biggest upsets of all-time. In the rematch, the Patriots were again favored and
the Giants again ended up becoming Super Bowl champions.
In a game of run, the Giants scored the game's first nine points.
It is Super Bowl weekend! So we respectfully nod at that and move on with the biggest game on US
television this weekend. Chelsea faced United at Stamford Bridge, AVB lost out on all three points
