Soccer is awful

Tottenham beat Sunderland 1-0 today. Who saw THAT coming?

Last ten minutes of that game, along with the Arsenal game with the Champions League in the balance, was unbelievably exciting.

In that Arsenal game Potter had some nice runs at the golden snitch - I'm sure he would have completed his mission successfully if not for the yellow card he received when he made what I thought was incidental contact with that bloody Duncan Inklebee.

Un [expletive] believable. You can't imagine how much that just pisses me off. [expletive] soccer is so god damned stupid. Whose playing, Trowbridge and Westbury? Wolverhampton vs Oxford? Chelmsford vs Norwich would be worth tearing the god damned field up for.

I swear to god if there is bad bounce or a pitcher slipping on the new mound I'm going to [expletive] hit someone wearing a soccer shirt.

The soccer groundskeeper inspects the field with Cardinal groundskeeper to ensure the pitch is fit for the match.

There is an American flag on the fence out there next to the Budweiser sign that needs to come down before they play that [expletive]' game.

Here ya go Jim. the words of Jack Buck from his autobiography "That's a Winner"

A former St. Louis University soccer player, Kim Tucci, and I were broadcasting a playoff game between St. Louis University and Howard University in Brooklyn, N.Y. We were set up in the last row of the bleachers. A spectator seated directly in front of us turned around every time I said something that was wrong and gave me the bug eye. I'm sure he know more about soccer than I did, but he was irritating.

During a commercial, I tapped him on the shoulder and said, "If you turn around one more time I'm going to pop you." He turned around again, and I drilled him in the forehead. I had a cigarette in my hand, and it landed in his hair. I knocked him half way down the bleachers....
