I figured why not? Great news is that I found out my uncle's cable provider (Xfinity) has Premier League onDemand, so I get to watch Fulham get the shit kicked out of them by Liverpool even though Chelsea-West Brom is on. And if both of those games go South quickly, I have 3 more matches to chose from. It's amazing to me to think about how just 3 years ago I could barely get a game on TV, and now I can literally watch any match I want.

And don't forget the MLS Cup Playoffs are in full swing. Today is SKC at Houston (2:30/1:30 Central on NBC). SKC sure did take their sweet-ass time overcoming the 2-1 deficit from the first leg v. the Revs, but boy am I glad they did. And Houston knocked out Community Shield winners NYRB, keeping NYRB/MetroStars's perfect record of no MLS Cups in tact, a fact I'm very much in favor of. Tomorrow at 9/8C on ESPN, Portland travels to RSL. RSL overcame a 1-0 first leg deficit to eliminate the Cup holders LA Galaxy. Portland won both legs of their NW Derby with Seattle to advance 5-3.
