    Who wins? U.S.A Basketball vs. Europe in Ryder Cup style competition

    Spain, a country of 40 million, took us to the wire (a country of over 300 million, but 40 million African Americans--most of the makeup of our team). Who wins best out of three series with a game in New York, one in Barcelona, and third, if needed, at a neutral site (somewhere in Brazil or...

    USA!

    age 23 with 3 senior team players, none of whom played in this match (they were honored at halftime). But we had a team of scrubs on the pitch at the end except for maybe 4 starters. The goal came from Michael Orozco Fiscal, a player who rarely makes our team. We might not even see him again for...

    USA!

    and great defense from the back four and a couple of great saves from Howard. Park the bus in front of goal, let Mexico kick the ball around and show off their superior technique, and then score on a counter (or a somewhat lucky bounce in this case). Nice.

    Soccer Post: USA vs El Tri

    Play hard, keep it to 3-1 or better and I'll be happy. Not sure what to think about a few of Klinsy's picks-1 rb, Edu as cb, no Pontius. Could get ugly.

    OT- Saving for kids college

    to take SAT prep courses. Now they have the highest scores so I'm pretty sure those things work. Score high, take AP course in high school, and get a scholly.

    Spain leading "Dream Team II" in second period....Carmelo Anthony's "D" is deplorable.... Did Howard or Duncan say no? Should have picked a decent NBA center as a backup. Now let's see if LeBron can save him. He gets way too much criticism than he deserves so this could top off a great season...

    Spain leading "Dream Team II" in second period....Carmelo Anthony's "D" is deplorable.... We like to say that our best athletes play basketball (using neutral language), which is probably not true. These aren't even Spain's best athletes. They are outstanding players who are not intimidated...

    OT: Direct TV: Anyone cancelled Direct TV and signed back up a year later?

    Uverse has a 30-day cancellation policy for TV. I'm signed up for Uverse phone and internet for one year (keeping that).

    OT: Direct TV: Anyone cancelled Direct TV and signed back up a year later?

    My switch to Uverse saves me almost $500/year (1 year contract) but I prefer Direct TV's picture for sports--less artifacts, less pixilated, less blurry although ESPN and a couple of other stations look fine. For sports I mainly watch football, NCAA basketball, and soccer. Non-sports channels...

    $40 million paycheck

    There's a ton of crony capitalism involved here: taxpayer money for stadiums, sweetheart deals including tax breaks and rights to taxes (can keep sales taxes on items sold in the stadium), subsidies and all sorts of other benefits that aren't available to other businesses are given to owners of...
