1. I have no skins in this game, but this Everton-Liverpool match is awesome.

   1. Anyone in the fantasy league would do well to do the exact opposite of what I do with Lukaku. Every time I sign him, he does jack. And then once I switch him out he goes off for two.

      1. That game was so incredible. Anyone who thinks soccer is boring needs to watch it. My gosh that was nutty.

      2. Jose Mourinho feels your pain.

      3. I benched Sturridge, so that didn't work too well either.

   2. That is a hell of a Scottish accent on the guy on the Arsenal game

   3. I usually try not to be too pessimistic, but I see very little chance that Fulham stay up this year.

   4. I'm not one to acronymate initialimate* usually, but O.M.G! I want one and I'll wear it to the next USA-Mexico game in Columbus.

      

      *But I have no problem making up works

      1. Also, this inspired me to get a Dos a Cero scarf to replace the scarf I lost in Dublin, but it does not appear there is one to be purchased. Someone is dropping the ball.

         1. How about this one?

            

2. The Hold Steady are making and album, helping out a fan's family and are asking for some help.

3. The animated "goal-reached" banners are fun.

   1. Dick Bremer planting a kiss on Bert. hilarious

   2. omg! the progressive progress bar one is amazing. haven't seen the kiss-cam one yet.

   3. I just got the Gene Parmesean entry. Well played.

      1. I still haven't seen Gene. He must be really good at hiding in plain sight.

         1. I just got it and it's glorious!

   4. Huh. I have only gotten the progress bar... many times now.

      1. Ah, there we go. Posting a comment somehow seems to have opened up the rest.

4. Quality.

   1. I'm fairly confident that this isn't real, but it's still good for a laugh.

5. well, Gophers only down by 6 at the half. Three turnovers really hurting.

   1. Dang. Good thing I'm on my 5th Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (in a can) -- numbing the pain.

   2. Gophers defense held their own against Wisky. Too bad the offense didnt force the issue until 7 minutes left in the game.

      1. Aye, the defense did what they had to do for the Gophers to win, but the offense left a floater in the punch bowl. Maybe Michigan State will be a little too complacent next week since they made the championship game today and the Gophers can sneak a win from them. Also, Summit Winter Ale. That is all.

         1. Offense didn't look overwhelmed, just too many mistakes. Once they fell behind late, they got away from their strengths. Too many dropped passes in the first half and too many poor throws in the second. They also didn't get much help from the refs, unlike the Badgers, who had both TDs set up by interference calls in the end zone on woefully underthrown passes. I hate those, because it's just rewarding the offense for bad play, which is against the intentions of the penalty.

            1. I agree. It was a winnable game but with a very small margin of error that the offense exceeded.

         2. That's a good beer.

6. The Fun Police is moving to New York, naturally.

   1. Sabathia: "I throw the ball to Naturally?"

7. Brian McCann and the Yankees are such a perfect match that I'm stunned I didn't expect it. It's great when these things just work themselves out naturally (plus, if Granderson leaves like expected, it'll be one fewer likeable Yankee lowering the number to approximately ZERO on their current roster).

   1. Giving a 30-year-old catcher a 5-yr contract. What could possibly go wrong?

   2. I kind of don't hate Gardner.

8. NDSU won its 20th straight and 39th of its last 41 today.
