    Nothing to see still. This is good. I’m sure the Lions’ and Pats’ blogs have lots of material.

    So, just gonna goof around.

    I still haven’t gotten around to watching “Moneyball.” “League of Their Own” should get a shout out, “There’s no crying in baseball!”

    Being in the same area code as the Browns and Jets ain’t ideal. Fielding a functional QB with a decent coach and good D usual prevents last place finishes.

    3 – HOU, PHI, LAR, MIN
    2 – ATL, MIA, KC, NE, NO

    O.T.
    Spain beating France is like if the 90s Jazz beating the Bulls. Sure, Stockton+Malone were formidable, but a tier below Jordan+Pippen+Rodman. However, the Jazz were well coached, precise and disciplined. Spain was tougher than France, and they simply out-executed for one game. If this was a 7-game series, no doubt France wins, but much like the NFL, World Cup is do-or-die, and Spain dissected Le Bleu like frogs.

    England-v-Argentina should be epic. Anyone familiar with history knows why. The FBI has found some shady shit going down with FIFA and Argentina, Miami dummy bank accounts, etc, Didn’t the U.S. just ‘loan’ them a few billion? All in the up-in-up, certainly…

    Coincidently, Argentina has been given every break humanly possible. It’s not an exaggeration to say that the entire world outside Argentina will be rooting against them. Go England!
