Now that it is The Day After, I have a few thoughts on what just happened.
Alexi Lalas‘ firing was at least a year too late and was a laughably inept hire in the first place. Lalas was good at many things, like being a salesman extraordinaire, doing color commentary, creating funny ESPN Sportscenter promotional spots, [...]

First and most important: Stop back by here around 6:00 Pacific if you’re watching the game at home. (Or, I suppose, if you’re watching somewhere else but have an internet connection.) Leave lots of comments. It’s always more fun to have company while I’m watching, and I consider you guys are [...]

More fun stuff from our commenters.
Yesterday we heard from the Beckham hater. Now the Beckham-lovers. (Or at least fans.) This one came to us via Diane, with a little help from Mag.
Best quote:
“I’d rather run out naked at Old Trafford than stand in front of [...]

I spotted this over on Ebay. I have no idea why it made me laugh, but…
Something about the expression on the face, maybe?
Gullit’s Out of the Loop? Not Again! (Some Lessons for AEG From Business 101)
By: Laurie | 8 Comments
I’m assuming AEG didn’t get where they are by being clueless about business. Right? And one of the key tenets of business is that you don’t separate authority from responsibility. Meaning people should have some control over the things you’re holding them responsible for.
Let’s go wonkish and head to a business website [...]

I love children. Particularly precocious ones.
And I am sure the paparazzi completely deserved it.
As a mom, I’m quite impressed with his fine motor skills. Do you know how hard it is to do this when you’re three?
Landon’s All Over the Blogosphere for Saying…
By: Laurie | 9 Comments
I’m currently mentally working on a game review. For what it’s worth. But for now:
Landon Donovan apparently did an interview with Telefutura after the game. I’ll let Soccer y Futbol tell you about it:
“Some may not like it, but we are the giants of MLS.”
But Donovan quickly catches himself
“Then again, we have [...]

I got a rather unusual email the other day. My first impulse was to dismiss it automatically.
My second was to think, “Well… The world is a strange place. I suppose it’s possible.”
Tell me what you think. Here’s what it said:
Hi Laurie,

Category: Off the FieldThe Person Who Made This Scares Me a Little
By: Laurie | 5 Comments
If the person who made this sculpture did it tongue in cheek? I’ll be the first to laugh.
If he/she was serious and sincere, though? To be honest, the thought leaves me a little frightened.
Either way? This is just a little…bizarre.
These photos came to me from Martha, formerly* of Italy Offside, [...]
