    Starting in August and ending in May? That is ridiculous. I guess the problem over there is that soccer is the only sport apparently anyone gives a flying fadoodle about (thanks to Joe Theismann for that term).

    Here we do have baseball, basketball, hockey....sports that have gravitas.

    There, correct me if I am wrong, but every other sport besides soccer is essentially give the attention of a minor league sport, no?

    Rugby, cricket.

    I remember about 10 years ago when I went to a family reunion in Ireland about the only sports I heard anyone talking about were soccer and snooker.....yep snooker.

    Soccer, rugby, soccer, cricket, soccer, tennis, soccer and more soccer. Absolutely, soccer dominates here, and pretty much everywhere. Whether you like the sport or not, you have to admire the way they've spread the sport and made it in to the money making machine it is today.

    NOT everywhere...in fact, not where it really counts. 😉 The US of Fucking A that is. 😎

  • pretty much everywhere != everywhere

    There are a few exceptions, such as 'Murica and India/south asia (cricket), and a few other places, but generally soccer is the first or second sport most places.

    The NFL is massively socialist by design - from the merchandising and tv rights being centrally held and profits divided equally regardless of team profitability, to the great equaliser of the draft. So what are you saying about democracy? Is it a communist plot to make everyone watch soccer?

    Could be. I always equated communism as a dull, dark, dank, gray and boring existance. Soccer fits right in.

  • Soccer is extremely boring. I've tried to watch it, but fall asleep. Rugby on the other hand I like. Used to play for a few years and it it is a blast.

  • Browns at the Jags ....2 hour drive against my wife's team ....... will be doing that ... went to the game when we won their with Derek Anderson at QB

    What always amuses me about American sports is whoever wins Superbowl or World Series they are crowned world champions when no other country has teams that can play in it apart from the Blue Jays ....why do they call it Baseballs World Series apart from 1 team from Canada what other world country has a team in it... if Liverpool win the Premiership in soccer they are announced English League Champions and not world champions

  • i had to write about golf when didn't know a fuggin thing about it way back when.

  • Ludes and monkey dust for a trail of disaster. A Chevy 714 become a work of art (for Ripley's). It sure was fun tho. I'm tellin' my age right?

  • ludes were candy in sandusky in the mid 70s. drink a 6 pack and hit yourself in the head with a hammer to get the same effect.

    crystal T was the only dust going around back then. more acid and mesc than anything else.

    Maybe Mark Cuban was right when he said the NFL is over exposing itself.

    Road trip to Carolina or Atlanta for me this year for an away game.
