Friday 7/11 on ESPNU, 5:30am on my dish which means I don’t know what for you Comcast subscribers. (Anywhere from 2:30am to 8:30am?) Check your local listings.
I can’t wait to have this game saved forever on my DVR. The first Jake Locker game! Syracuse really looked like the JV in this one, and then they later went on to upset Louisville @ Papa John’s. And nobody just waltzes into Papa John’s. Look: I even wrote a preview post about this game. It’s a real time capsule featuring Beef championing the candidacy of Mitt Romney.
Two weeks removed from season/career ending surgery, Kurt Schilling collected some media members together so that he could say stuff that they would write down . Schilling said that by discussing the possibility that he will return to the Major Leagues, he thinks he can continue to be relevant for at least another year. Sports fans of the non-Boston world rejoice!
With a heavy heart, I must report that Peter Crouch is headed away from Anfield.
My love for Crouch is far from a secret, no homo. But while countless Liverpool fans blot tears away this night, ultimately both player and country will benefit from this transfer.
Peter Crouch has his rear end lovingly escorted away from Anfield.
All you need to know is this: I celebrate by watching this every year, because tuba guy also cannot drive 55. And he loves tequila. And freedom isn’t free. And these colors don’t run. Etc, etc…
Get on board while you can, bitches. Before Sammy parachutes through your roof.
I’m currently studying a little revolutionary era France. I’ll admit it’s always been a little hard to wrap my head around the idea of a society so unjust that the only recourse for the common man was to take to the streets, round up those responsible, and cut off their heads. I imagine that insatiable bloodlust started with those people feeling like I feel right now.
Obviously I’m being dramatic. It’s just a basketball team. In theory I’ll get over this.
So it looks like Howard Shultz is the Sonics last hope. This should not make anyone feel good. Shultz’s lawsuit asks for the Court to literally transfer ownership of the Sonics back to local ownership, nullifying the original contract. Right. That’s going to happen.
I see the court unravel complex multi-million dollar transactions involving multiple parties and heated political issues all the time.
I’d like to extend a warm Internet welcome to the Seattle Soccer Show. Hosted by Mati Bishop (Sounders color guy) and Matt Gaschk (P-I Sounders beat writer/KJR AM producer), it offers a unique and entertaining look into the local soccer community. If you’re looking for another way to enhance your Sounders cred, this is it.
Here’s something I wrote last year just after the Tour’s conclusion that I wish I had written before the Tour to psyche people up for it. Well now the earth has moved almost completely around the sun since then rendering this post viable for the first time. I think it’s solid. Enjoy.
And the only prescription, is more Spaniards. Fresh off Spain’s win of Euro 2008, everything Spanish is flying off the shelves. The Griz, not to be left out, went out and signed themselves a Gasol. Pau’s brother: Marc. Apparently he’s tall (7′1″) and won some variety of European MVP award last year…. so he obviously legit (I guess that’s sarcastic. I don’t know. Is European basketball any worse than the NBA anymore? I can’t tell).
Anyways, seems like the Memphis Grizzlies are not satisfied to have one huge Euro on their team (in the form of a certain Darko Milicic). Now they have 2. Twice the dissapointment is possible.
Joel Smith was kicked off the basketball team on Friday. Didn’t hear? That’s because the UW buried the press release for 5pm on Friday. In the world of public relations, 5pm on Friday is where you put news like “Mark Emmert files suit against ocean for harboring jellyfish - denies rape allegations”.
So why was Montlake running from this story? Because they knew exactly how it would be received.
