George Takei is kicking himself for not getting married there.

I'm fine with saying "giving a devastated community a reason to smile or celebrate" but overwrought bullshit like "This will heal their nation" is something used by marginal hacks.

And how long before mediocre writers will assert that this victory will heal the nation of Japan like the Super Bowl win supposedly healed New Orleans?

And now we have a coin flip to decide the World Cup, because that's all that PK's are.

It appears that the prevent defense doesn't work in soccer either.

Letting this one get away would be like the 1980 US Hockey team losing to Finland in the Gold Medal game after beating the Soviets.

With all of the missed chances by the USA you just knew Japan would score a fluke goal.

Got to love the Taco Bell commercial that makes fun of what gluttonous fat-asses Americans are.

OK, what's the difference between the 'Actual distance' and 'Projected distance'?

FIFA's corruption and incompetence has pretty much ensured that no one in this country will be nothing but casual soccer fans. I want to like this sport, but it seems that every time I sit down and watch a World Cup match, egregious shit like this wrecks the match.

That's the kind of shit that kills boxing. As much as I like Paul Williams personally, he didnt win that fight and if he fights Martinez again, he will probably end up getting seriously hurt.

Gold is a horrible investment. Even worse are the reasons used by people trying to get you to buy it. They will tell you it's good to have in times like this because it will be the only thing of value should the currency collapse.

The sickening lack of effort makes me really want to see Haye get knocked out in the 12. He has shown himself to be nothing but fraud that ran his mouth to a payday he didn't deserve.

Let me see those gloves for a minute

The old boxing adage proves true again. A mediocre big man will always beat a mediocre little man.

Haye's entire strategy is based on landing the one big punch. He's not using any combinations or working the body. If he wins it will be a one punch KO.

For fuck's sake...will someone please go ahead and put Larry Merchant in the home already.

Especially the Lamon Brewster fight. That's another reason Manny has him using this plodding style.

Typical Klitschko round. Pawing with the jab and leaning way back.
