That's a matter of personal preference.

College is a time to learn new things about yourself.

I know! They're not on as much as they were in the '70s. I may have to move to Albuquerque just to take care of this.

Throwbacks day in Seattle yesterday!

Ooooh! Make me one too!

In a conversation I had with my nephew, 6, the other day, it was revealed he had no idea who Bugs Bunny was.

Syndicator to review allegations Ann Coulter lifted material By HILLEL ITALIE AP National Writer NEW YORK (AP) - The syndicator of Ann Coulter's newspaper column is looking into allegations that the right-wing pundit has lifted material from other sources. "We are reviewing the material and expect to have a response some time next week," Kathie Kerr, a spokeswoman for Universal Press Syndicate, told The Associated Press on Friday. The New York Post and the Web sites Raw Story and the Rude Pundit have raised numerous questions about Coulter's columns, which appear in more than 100 newspap

OK, sorry for the FUs.

Hey man, fuck you. You don't know me; you have no grounds to call me an idiot. Since soccer in this country is number four or five on the list, they may well need to do things not typically done in American professional sports to get by. I think, though, if the New York team would rename itself the Cosmos, they would see a lot more support among fans who were kids in the '70s and loved the team when they had Pele, Chinaglia and Beckenbauer. Whether that support would mean more revenue that whatever Red Bull Inc. is paying them, I cannot say. But again, fuck you.

And this on shootouts from N.Y. Daily News' Filip Bondy: "Italy won itself a tiebreaker, finally, captured its fourth World Cup title on kicks, 5-3, after a 1-1 tie. The Italians had earned this one, for sure. They knocked in all their penalties, without a hint of the usual psychic meltdown. They certainly were the best team in the tournament, and probably the better side on this night. It's funny how these tiebreakers seem so arbitrary, yet always go to the more formidable side."

I would not put it past the Marlins to contend for the NL wildcard.

No. Are you aware of this thing they call "photobucket?"

I will never support the MLS New York team until it does what it has to to start calling themselves the Cosmos. (Which is apparently pay somebody $2 million for rights to the name.)

Too soon to tell on either, but both were effective enough on Saturday.

I will occasionally throw in a comment about the Mets, like how I am gratified that they entered the All-Star break with a better record than the Yanks, which results in me getting a free lunch sometime this week.

Put a little more effort in to it! You can do it!

I think Zidane became unhinged when Buffon took that header away from him. Congrats to the Azzurri. They certainly played well and deserve to be the champions.

We had some of that at Christmas. Smooth, but hardly worth the price.

I don't think I've ever listened to that record in its entirety.

When Valentin struck out in the 9th, I hit myself so hard I left a mark.

back in the '70s, it used to be the NL winning all the All-Star games. In terms of World Serieses, let's see: 70 - Orioles 71 - Pirates 72-74 A's 75-76 - Reds 77-78 Yanks 79 Pirates Slight edge to the AL in those terms.

It's very good. Much better than a jam band could scrape up, I'm sure.

I would at this point pencil either the Sox (Rouge) or the Yanks out of the wild card, as it seems either Detroit or the Sox (Blanc) will take that. The Yanks spent tons of money in the '80s, and it didn't get them squat. And the Knicks lead the payroll in the NBA. It's not just spending, it's spending wisely and being lucky, which personified the '90s Yankees.
