+1 on the Tom Morgan story. I'm checking out the Frazier story based on your rec.

Police Line...Do Not Cross...Unless You Feel Like It...Police Line...

How could you forget this?

Euro 2016 will have 24 teams. It will be a pretty big upset if Sweden don't qualify for that. Zlatan's will only be 34 and probably still Sweden's best player then. He'll have another chance to star. Or not.

Florida looks overrated now, but they were full strength on September 7th at Miami. The Canes also forced 4 of those 5 turnovers. I agree Miami hasn't looked great, but they've also given up garbage time points to GT and USF which made those games look closer than they really were.

Wear purple. #StandWithGAALD.

KUUUUUUUUUHHHHHNNN!!!

I'm with Kosar. I think Hudson's "poetry" is unnecessary and completely over the top. When he's just discussing the game, he's alright. But once a goal is scored, or anything special happens, he ramps it up as if the Beautiful Game just isn't beautiful enough without some long flowery language.

If you don't already, read Phil Ball's weekly column on soccernet. He's a Sociodad fan and has been praising them a lot, too.

+1 to you both. Awesome exchange.

Needs a new Johnson rod, too.

I don't follow any specific blogs, but I've got things like Nike Running, Mizuno, Asics, etc, plus a local running group on Facebook, so I'm able to get a decent amount of news and ideas through those.

Thanks. Pathetic for a music fan, but I've never heard Husker Du before (that I know of), and this song is great. Time to do some searching...

Wow, thanks. I'm a huge fan of AC/PB, but have never researched the samples from Person Pitch. The Thin Red Line is one of my favorite movies, so it just makes me feel good to find out about the sample. A couple cool things I just found about it:

I wish I could say, "You're right!" But, I just imagine Loria specifically not giving a damn and laughing his way to the bank. If he even checks the team's record, I'd be impressed. This man lives on another planet. Read this stupid quote about the stupid sculpture: http://deadspin.com/5898392/jeffre…

I watched Dortmund-Malaga on dvr and sped through h/t so I could watch Gala-RM. I sped through that once Ronaldo opened the scoring, but after Drogba's, I was dreaming of another insane finish. Huge fan of Ronnie, but I was a tad disappointed when he killed it in injury time.

Wow, that was awesome, especially the second goal.

Thanks, CCG. I'm saving yours and Rays' comments and will just force myself to learn easy and hard runs after this marathon.

I appreciate the response. I've got another marathon lined up for the fall, so I'll work on the intervals starting up in summer and hopefully that will make a difference.
