That announcer just dissed Clint.

jediwands

No. I'm as red as my Ohio State sweatshirt I'm wearing.

I missed it while talking to my mom I assume. What did he say?

I thought Dempsey has had a couple good runs so far but as a whole Fulham is off in pretty much every aspect of their game. It's so frustrating.

ETA: At this point winning this match is a stretch. A tie is all I think they can hope for unless they up their play dramatically. It seems next to impossible to get 1 goal. Then again you have to actually take some shots in order to score.

Such a different style of play from Tuesday's match. Lots of ball control and good passing. Too bad the only team doing that is Tottenham.

Fulham are playing better second half.

jediwands

I know. Fulham is lucky they are not down 0-2 right now. That shot should have gone in. I love how the announcer called that miss "unlucky." If that would have been Clint he would have said Clint handled it improperly.

everwoodfan52

I know that I sound biased...but I really think that Clint has excellent ball control. When he has it..he doesn't often lose it and he always makes good passes. Now...his teamates! That's another story.

Gera should have been put in sooner. I don't know why he's benched.

I know. That bald headed dude is working hard and getting hacking calls against him but he seems to hold onto the ball too long and the momentum seems to be killed as a result. A couple times I noticed that. I also don't understand why they are constantly clogging the middle. Play your outside wings more in order to open things up in the box.

They are putting on the pressure though out of desperation I think.

everwoodfan52

I was not able to see the end...(getting ready for company)....but it looks like the desperation didn't help.



It looks like Liverpool and Manchester United had a better day...both won.

jediwands

A bad, bad day in soccer for me.

Fulham loses. I don't like Liverpool, they win, and when we needed Manchester United to win for Fulham they don't but win today. Suckage.

I hope the rest of the day/evening in sports is a good one. Looking forward to seeing your OU play tonight, Alan.

ETA: Big Ten is 2/2 so far in Bowl Games. Given I root for Minnesota and Ohio State I do like to support the Big Ten. This is about the only time I attempt to cheer for Wisconsin although it's soooooooo damn hard sometimes I cannot go there no matter how hard I try.

The Crow

Well, I'm playing for 3rd place in two leagues tomorrow, and in the church league I'm in the championship. My lineup there, as of now, is this:

Joe Flacco QB
Ahmad Bradshaw RB
Steven Jackson RB
Michael Bush RB
Mike Wallace WR
Dwayne Bowe WR
Marcedes Lewis TE
Nick Folk K
Patriots DST

I'm toying with subbing in Josh Freeman in for Flacco, because the Bucs have to win to even have a chance to get in, and the Ravens are just playing for a bye. Also, I'm a bit afraid of Bowe and Wallace not doing much, but the only backup I have is Danny Amendola, or I could pick up James Jones from Green Bay, or pick Jacoby Jones back up or maybe Kenny Britt from Tennessee. Thoughts Michelle? (or anyone else)

jediwands

I am on AIM with Shelby who is on her phone so here are her thoughts:

Agreed definitely about Flacco. I think you should keep him for the reasons Shelby said. Hmm, I think I'd also keep Bowe and Wallace. I'm not high on Amendola... Jones from Green Bay could work but I think the game between Green Bay hosting Chicago is one of those typical huge rivalry games where it's a defensive slug-fest for the most part and if Green Bay is even remotely as cold as Minnesota today (it's FREEZING) and I'd imagine they'll get that Lake Effect from Lake Michigan, the weather combined with the typical style of play between Green Bay and Chicago with Chicago's defense would be iffy for Jones to do anything for you.

YAY again for your success in your church league!

Wisconsin/TCU

Wow man it's like I cursed the Big Ten by talking about them today... 0-5 today. Dang. Wisconsin looked moronic just now on their last possession. Man. Okay there's like 7 and change left and you're down by 8... you act like you have all the time in the world without caring about being down by 8, needing a two point conversion that cannot be counted on and with only one time out! You cannot bank on getting that two point conversion... not only that... they were running through TCUs D so for the conversion attempt... you... pass? Nuts. LOL.

Here we go, Oklahoma!

Congrats, Alan, on the OU win!

According to ESPN:

A couple of X-Mas gifts my son's friend gave to Lana...the new Rangers Jersey.




and with the bib...






She's probably going to have to wear that during games.

If David goes and not Landon....I'll be so pissed.
