NFL: Sound FX - Romo's bad day →
Oh, Tony, man. There’s a reason he’s my fall boyfriend.
“Did he catch the pass?” DID HE CATCH THE PASS? Dude just broke his collarbone and what’s the first thing he asks?
Warrior.

Firesheep aims to protect →
Websites have a responsibility to protect the people who depend on their services. They’ve been ignoring this responsibility for too long, and it’s time for everyone to demand a more secure web. My hope is that Firesheep will help the users win.
Please tell me I’m not the only one with a moral problem to this. The idea of putting people at risk in order to illustrate a...

RIP Paul →
The tentacled teller also experienced the downside of fame, receiving death threats from German soccer fans angry that he annointed Spain as winners over his home team and even being slammed by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as an agent of “Western propaganda and superstition.”

2010 MLS Expansion Draft
I decided to take a gander at who the Dynamo will protect, just for fun.
Domestic Players:
Chabala - I think he’s key to our backline.
Davis - Good skilled player, has some international experience, is a leader in our midfield.
Cameron - No brainer. Our best player at this point.
Ching - He’s the leader of this team, and I don’t think he’ll go anywhere else. No...

An Open Letter to Timothy Joel Cahill →
I don’t know what I was thinking of when I wrote this, as I had just woken up in the middle of the night to do so. In fact, I don’t remember most of the process.

Bullying
With the attention that this issue has gotten in the media lately, I thought I’d write my piece on it. The idea that someone is tormented so much that they are driven to suicide simply because of their sexual orientation appalls me, and people are right to be angry and want to do something about this. It shouldn’t happen. Gay and bisexual teens face torment from so many angles —...

So about that Wayne Rooney thing...
In my mind, there are three possibilities here as an Everton supporter:
A. One: Rooney leaves for an astronomical amount of money, which gives Everton a few million to spare because of the sell-on clause in his contract. WIN.
B. Two: Rooney leaves for cheap, less than or equal to (or not much more than) the 26 million that he was originally valued at (because Everton gets 25% of that...

A former professional football (soccer) player describes his experience with match fixing.
Dynamo's Geoff Cameron apologetic for red card →
“I let the team down, and I take responsibility for that,” Cameron said. “I apologized to the team after the game and I told them I let the team down. That usually doesn’t happen. I usually keep my cool.
“I’m not a guy that throws punches or anything like that. It happens. People make mistakes. I got to move on from it. I learned my lesson, and that’s...

the future of USMNT?!Will Bob opt to sit Mikey?!?
This pisses me off. I like Edu, but Bradley is in many ways a better player than him. He needs to work on his distribution a bit, but this woman doesn’t even look at their scoring records. Mikey has scored HUGE goals for the US (srsly. Ask Mexico, Egypt, Trinidad & Tobago, and, oh hai,...
Oldest: Lilly, 39.
Youngest: Morgan, 21.
Lilly’s first cap came two years...
– Soccer Insider, on the WNT roster.
I mean, in one way, that’s amazing. In another way … is Lilly a serious option for next summer? Eeesh.
(via needsmorekittens)
Lilly is awesome and basically all who I want to be, ever. However, a 40-year-old non-goalkeeper on our World Cup roster? As much as I...

Defense, Benny. Play some.
After tonight’s game against Poland I got to thinking about individual performances. There were good ones: Jermaine Jones (mostly) Stuart Holden (mostly), Clint Dempsey, Steve Cherundolo, Tim Howard. There were average ones: Carlos Bocanegra, Oguchi Onyewu, Michael Bradley, Alejandro Bedoya, Jozy Altidore. And there were bad ones: Maurice Edu, but he gets a pass because he’s not used...
