The Kickers, the team in the boran2 boy’s soccer league that was “constructed” from the core of last year’s winning team in what is supposed to be a fair and fun series of local games. Strangely enough, all the other teams were configured randomly, as it should be. And of course, the Kickers won soccerfest. The coach of that team is in charge of the league so you can be sure that she had nothing to do with how its kids were selected. Cough, cough.
player. She’s pretty damn good too.
The game would be better, however, if the parents would stay away or at least calm down.
Cool. The boran2 boy is 8, he’s doing nicely this year. His team is actually pretty good.
The Cowboys are right up there,
but it HAS to be the Yankees.

you’re just saying that to hurt me…
I would think you would be used to pain with an owner like Steinbrenner and a range-less SS who chokes in the clutch;

Lazio Roma for its fascist, so called supporters legion!
In the European soccer league, some teams aren’t much better for its racist chants.
"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."OH!
And the NY Giants! You watch Sports Center on ESPN and sit through 20 minutes on the Giants game when they are 3 and 7 and then they give a 10 and 2 team two minutes, then START TALKING GIANTS AGAIN!
Makes me want to puke.

now you’re getting personal. Thems fighting words.
In life you occasionally meet people who are REAL losers. By that I mean there is nothing that they can accomplish that will remove their ‘loserdom’. Our president is one of those people. He can serve two terms as pres, make millions, get the adolation of 20% of the country, and he will STILL be a loser. It’s what he is. He could have WON in Iraq and he would STILL be a loser.
Another one of those people is Eli Manning. He can go on to win the super bowl, make the pro bowl 15 times, go undefeated 5 straight years, and he will still be a whiny, lying, little snot. Like his brother.
BTW, it runs off. Don’t get to close.

I can go with Dallas and their cheerleaders, too.
Growing up in Cleveland, it has to be the Yankees, hands down. The way the just throw money around; the fact that they’re invariably a bunch of prima donnas and/or bullies…
grrr.
at least my hatred is pure and longstanding. If it helps, I despise the Cowboys too.
Right now it’s the Springboks . But after today, I want them to win the World Cup.
The Yankees and the Maple Leafs.
Gosh. Yankees … Red Sox … Yankees … Red Sox … Do I have to choose?
Yes, I know the answer emanating from New York, from Boston, from ESPN, from Ken Burns (and his pal Doris what’s her name) and all the rest is … “Of course you have to choose, for all the rest of baseball is nothing but a bunch of footnotes to the titanic, mythic, eternal struggle between the Yankees and the Red Sox!”
A pox on both of those self-absorbed, obscenely profligate, Northeast-triumphalism-exemplifying houses. (I refer, of course, not only to the teams themselves.)
Favorite team is whoever is playing the Cowboys.
The Ohio State Buckeyes. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
Easy now EJ,
I remember photographic evidence of you briefly calling a truce with one of those scummy villians :o)
Heh. It just goes to show that sports are just sports. Ideas like peace and justice are transcendent.
Box-seats suck boxseats suck boseats sucks BOSTON SUCKS. The Boston Red Sox, because we have to. Then Michigan, that last second touchdown pass that killed Penn State’s chances at a BCS championship birth was heartbreaking. Oh and the Rangers, just because.
