Anyone watch the USA v Cuba game last night? Team USA is, dare I say, looking pretty good. Granted, they beaten Guatemala & Cuba, but they were both road games.

Next up, Trin & Tob on Wednesday.

If I must make an NFL prediction, it is the St. Louis Lambs will suck. Again. But the NFC West pretty much sucks too, you one never knows.

Word.

Wanting to sleep with the players is only an enhancement on soccer, not the entire reason to watch. It's also faster and doesn't stop every two minutes for a commercial.

I increasingly conclude that football wastes too much of my time. Given that I don't really enjoy watching a losing game, it seems a terrible gamble to spend so much time on an uncertain outcome.

Looks like a long season for NW Football, but a short season for me as I think I'll be checking out early.

I was hoping to fave a good time conversing with the other teams on the Slog's Fantasy Football League. Unfortunately I have Seattle as my defense but some of my other players are doing better than expected.

Fucking AMEN! I paused the Lambs game @ kickoff for half an hour, and fast forwarded through the commercials. I caught up to real time TV by half time. It was a good thing too 'cause the Eagles were kicking the shit out of S.t Louis.

Also, I take exception to the insinuation that I only watch futbol for the hot guys. I watch it for the love of the game. It is after the game (when they all take their shirts off) that I start oogling.

Marshawn Lynch... what do you do with a guy like that?

Where was Patrick Kearny?

Nooo, not Burleson. Damn. Well, most of my teams lost, but I didn't do too badly and I still have a couple games tomorrow. (Come on Jay Cutler, don't let me down). I'm sorry I doubted my defensive line, Baltimore did just fine.

p.s. Fucking Seahawks, Josh Brown is a God, a God I tell you, why did you let him go? Why? Why? Why?
