What was that? Sorry, team USA couldn't hear you over the sound of our medals clanging together.

Meh...Chicago won the Stanley Cup...

Wanted Hossa to go 0/3 in three years. =P
And apparently the Blackhawks are the lowest on the Chicago sports team totem pole. By a lot. Wonder what this'll do to that.

They used to have a 49 year title-less drought before this win: the Cubs have a 100 and something title-less drought.

I almost had a heart-attack a little while ago. The first round of Wimbledon is going on. And Federer almost lost it!!! But he won finally =D.

/win.

For the US people here, how do you think Kobe stands vs. Michael Jordan?
MJ's son is with me, he's good, but no MJ.

I like how you took out my comment about you guys being the best losers. =P

And yeah, Michael Jordan stacks up better than Kobe.
so i herd u liekd hatin vuvzelas
I wish I were a cat-dragon
I feel like it's hard to compare MJ and KB... like it's a different time, and I think that Kobe Bryant really carried his team to win the NBA finals (unfortunately)...
So I departed, leaving behind a pungent smell of brimstone. Just something to remember me by.
The longest tennis match ever just got over! 11 hrs and 5 minutes. Well, it hasn't been updated in the net yet, but : http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/ar ... Mp1btI4GoA. Isner defeated Mahut by 70-68.

Whoa.

My respect for tennis players just went up quite a bit. How do you stay up for that long?!

They're freakin amazing the only think I can do for ten hours straight is sleep! someone was saying that not only did they break all the records, they also broke the scoreboards.

Edit: Nadal is so funny, he set up a fbk event for his match: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=1 ... 447&ref=mf

And the description is "But I don't know when it starts or ends..."
=D.
Yeah, the scoreboard froze in between and then went blank. But later on, they took a photo with the score on the scoreboard.
And Fuzz, the match went on for three days. I didn't see on the first (because I had no idea this match would turn out to be so great and I didn't know the two players well enough) and the second day (because my cable operator hardly showed the match as more "important matches" were going on- like Federer's. For the first time in my life, I didn't want to see his match).

And yeah, the two were absolutely brilliant! And read this. Also, they complimented one another very well after the match.

Don't they realize nobody is fit enough to replace the Hand of God? They will never find that passion in anyone else.
Pfft. Just cause you have passion doesn't mean your a good coach. Also just because you were the greatest striker behind Pele doesn't make you a great coach either.
Don't try to inject sense into that. Maradona is the best coach in football because I say so. He is followed by Alex Ferguson. No arguing on all this.

He obviously the best coach judging by Argentina's result in the World Cup. =P

Bleh, Manchester United....

Nah, I like Chelsea best. But I admire Ferguson more than Ancelotti.
