Apparently, FIFA is reopening the file on instant replays because they read our last searing indictment.

World Cup and Replays
June 28th, 2010 · No Comments · T-Willikers
Ok, for those of you who have been watching the World Cup thusfar–I hope there are lots–there has been an issue that has been a puss-filled sore on an otherwise amazing event. Several big plays and even goals have been called back and missed because of insufficient officiating. I say insufficient rather than poor here [...]

Respect Due: Kerr Destroys Field at LPGA
June 27th, 2010 · No Comments · Ground Possum
After having called out the Americans in the LPGA, commenting that “only 4 American women [are] in the top 20 of women’s golf rankings- headed by no 6 Christie Kerr, whose best days, arguably, are behind her,” I must eat a few of my words. Cristie Kerr put a massive wire-to-wire beat-down on the [...]

Lost for most Americans in the waves of euphoria resulting from the U.S. soccer team’s stoppage time goal to win their World Cup pool for the first time in 80 years is perhaps the most exciting and remarkable tennis match in the history of the sport.
John Isner and Nicholas Mahut played for over 10 hours– [...]

World Cup: Observations So Far
June 21st, 2010 · No Comments · T-Willikers
Most of us Yanks are fair-weather fans when it comes to Soccer-Football. I would consider myself a mild-weather fan. I follow the English, Spanish, German, and Italian leagues closely enough to know what’s shaking. That helps when it comes to be World Cup time, ’cause I know some of these doods running around on the [...]

June 20th, 2010 · No Comments · Seamus McGee
Fort Gibson Lake near the Arkansas River was my childhood fishing spot of choice, and it’s where the last BASS Elite Series event of the season was held. As I mentioned in my last post, I decided to pick my team randomly–well, without expert assistance–and surprise fucking surprise! I had my best week of the [...]
