"If you pay $7,500, they'll let any douchebag become a member."

It's not the same as your example at all - they were all professional soloists, masters of the violin, not some 7 year olds being dragged to Suzuki Method classes asked to assess them. Perhaps it wasn't the most scientific methodology, but it was the second time this test has been tried, and the second time a very…

Frankly that sounds MUCH more awesome, in almost every way.

And it's only taken him 14 years to recognize how insanely offensive the name is!

A feather in your cap for that one.

And it only took him 14 years as owner of the most racist name in sports!

You don't need to be a keeper to know that...

The Oklahoma players are going home Sooner than they wanted.

To be a striker on, say, Estonia's national team, meh...To be a striker on Brazil's national team, yes, you have to be very good. Strike that, better than very good, you have to have exceptional talent. Do I think he's one of the world's very best (Messi, Zlatan, even Neymar, etc)? No. But he's an excellent player…

I'd forgotten he'd also done a rather formidable stint at Porto as well before heading to colder climes. But still, I'd love to see him on a more regular basis.

Yeah, he's just on Brazil's national team. What a chump!

Not that good? He plays for Brazil. Like, you know, BRAZIL. And 54 goals in 99 games for Porto ain't exactly shabby.

He is really fun to watch when he's on a tear. I really wish Hulk played in a better league with more exposure. Japan, then Russia? Why is he not destroying defenders in England or Italy?

Can't wait until he gets traded and someone else on the team has the #12 so he's forced to get another number...

Holy crap, Allah is Samuel Jackson?

It's not the animation I'm worried about (I actually kind of like the 2D/3D melding they've done), it's the story. Without Sparky's depression fueled angst and heavy, stomach churning psychological quandaries being tossed about by a bunch of 8 year olds I fear it may just be a feel good nostalgia trip.

Zlatan is not impressed.

Yeah, I realized that right after I posted.

This was from over a decade ago - Bloody Mallory came in something like 2001. And frankly, it's not very good. But campy, yes (for instance, Vena Cava's played by a dude). If you like really badly made and written sub-Xena style viewing (I'd say it has as much to do with that as Buffy stylistically), then it just…
