  1. I can't really disagree here. All our best athletes go into football and basketball - then maybe baseball. I think even lacrosse is becoming more popular in HS than soccer. I don't know how we ever get past Brazil, Germany, Italy, England, etc.
  2. On June 24 I was quoted for WNY area: $90/month guaranteed for two years for Prime HD + 15/5 Internet and land-line. $80/month guaranteed for two years for Prime HD + 15/5 Internet (no land-line). I didn't inquire about a cell phone because my contract for that has a year left. I think a regular HD box was $6/mo while a HD DVR was $16/mo
  3. "By 10:00 AM, power had been restored to most of the customers in Quebec, and by 11:00 AM all but 3,500 of the 842,000 customers were back in business" The horror. The horror.
  4. Too easy Withstand, topiary, catapult, tangerine, identify, disingenuous 56%
  5. Had Johnny Cash on my mind on the car ride this morning after hearing the new Jeep Grand Cherokee commercial and popped into my head. I don't know how I didn't think about it before.
  6. Miked reports on Adu. This article isn't promising. http://www.yanks-abroad.com/get.php?mode=content&id=6439
  7. I am always terrible at these types of puzzles - you would think urchin would catch one's eye immediately - not mine
  8. And I would like to know what this is
  9. Is it though? They very rarely show replays of controversial calls at The Ralph.
  10. Defined Mathematically: N + 700,000 = 5 * (N*10+7) Simple algebra: thus N = 14285 Need more thought on #1
  11. How can it be best overall yet not be best "hot" or "medium"?
  12. I got the same as Sage and SDS using the following process of elimination 1. PHON - e. loudness unit (know this from my engineering studies) 2. FEME - h. wife (female - femme fatale) 5. GROT - a. cave (grotto) 6. BACH - f. live like an unmarried man (bachelor, bacchanal) 4. FISC - b. royal treasury (fiscal) 3. COCO - g. palm tree (coconut) 7. DEFI - c. a challenge (defy) 8. GRUE - d. shudder of fear (last left)
  13. Hell yeah! Forca Germania!! Siggi-Saggi, Siggi-Saggi, Oi! Oi! Oi!!!
  14. Bieber is German for "beaver"
  15. My thoughts: - You folks are being a little harsh on the US for ball control. I thought their's was better than Ghana's. - However Ghana was quicker to loose balls and easily won the aerial game. Very identical to the '06 game - I have no idea why Bocanegra slowed down/pulled-up/gave-up when Gyan scored that goal. Awful. - And yes, Altidore was terrible in this tournament. Official stats are: 8 shots, 3 on target, 0 goals in 357 minutes played
  16. Absolutely. It really churns my stomach sometimes. It's very hard to defend a sport where players being dishonest, having no integrity, and cheating is so widely accepted.
  17. Some ESPN computer analysis they were scrolling during the Uruguay game claims Ghana has a 51.3% chance of winning.
  18. USA’s Donovan reconciled in more ways than one
  19. Damn - I was hoping to ask you how you feel about the pull-up offsides rule now.
  20. Ans: Wedding 1. Kings: rings 2. Clown: gown 3. Stake: cake 4. Charter: garter 5. Cows: vows 6. Search: church 7. Gusher: Usher 8. Broom: Groom 9. Deception: Reception 10. Fried: Bride 11. Ghost: Toast 12. Sinister: Minister
  21. I didn't see it - I only had MatchCast or whatever they call it running in the background - was it another pull-up offsides?
  22. Yep - two 15 min halves - then, if still tied, on to 5 rounds of penalty kicks (shooutout) - then single elimination rounds of penalty kicks if still tied after the first 5 rounds
  23. I think it should 4 beers each or 4x4 HBD Folks
