Van Basten II

I recommend the other set of this fine series.

With the closure of Soccertv.com the only place remaining to check out what's happening tv wise in the world of the beatiful gaame for those living in North America is this site. http://www.livesoccertv.com/fixtures.php Although i find it less reliable than the previous site.

After a huge essay on Joyce more than one thousand pages went for something lighter in every sense of the word.

Starsky and Hutch Laverne and Shirley The Odd couple

Aaron Goldberg Reuben Rogers Gregory Hutchinson

Just opened up the the second volume of the series and on the cover of the booklet it says Volume 2 1895-1927 instead of 1927-1934. Is that a mistake that has been repaired ?

Sergio Mora Peter Manfredo Alfoso Gomez

Woody Guthrie Woody Hayes Woody Woodpecker

Rather poor week in terms of entertaining matchups, watch NFL instead.

GB Indy NE Giants

Good luck, looking for to see you back on the board.

Happy Birthday

How the heck do you search for Sun Ra ?

I played a game of bowling with him yesterday, scored 185, rhumatism is creeping up on him, can not give a spin to the ball like he used to.

I actually taped and watched American Gladiators

I have an Immani Coppola cd that i enjoy a lot. Her lyrics are as dumb as it gets but for a long while i couldn't stop listening it anyway.

American sports fans are wussies, compared to fans from the other side of the ocean, being cursed at is the least of your worries over there.

Floyd Mayweather Jr Jerry Rice Fraklin Stubbs Not sure that Stubbs belongs in the same category but hey whatcha gonna do about it ?

Steelers went a little too conservative when they got back the ball with the lead at around the 3 minute mark. Then againwhen you lose by such a tiny margin, you can go back to a lot of things, Jaguars had the last word and they won, period.

Seems you had a great time, my main beef with the league, is that most teams play in a conservative way, French teams used to play with flair, not anymore they remind me of Calcio teams style of playing in the 80s sorry Porcy62 No offense, I too think that italian league' matches sucks most of the time, not only in the 80's, BUT, though I deeply hate Berlusconi for political reason, I have to admit that Sacchi's AC Milan with Baresi, Maldini, Donadoni, Costacurta, Rijkaard, Van Basten and Gullit was much more GALACTIC then today's Real Madrid. Overall I think that team played one the best football I saw in my life. Yep it was an amazing team, too bad at the time couldn't see much of them. I do think that Italian games are quite watchable, they were some years that we had at least on great game per week. But my favourite domestic team remains Chievo Verona under the helm of Luigi Del Neri when they got promoted Serie A. What a wild and exciting they were, great offence and not much relance of defence which made for terridfic and entertaining matches. I remember fondly a few derby matches against rivals Hellas Verona.

Seems you had a great time, my main beef with the league, is that most teams play in a conservative way, French teams used to play with flair, not anymore they remind me of Calcio teams style of playing in the 80s sorry Porcy62 You are right about French teams being very cautious especially when playing away. Your comparison with the Italian league in the 80s is spot on. The problem is that French clubs can't compete with richer English, Italian and Spanish clubs and they find very difficult to attract very good strikers. So many French players leave the country every year for financial reasons ( salary and taxes). It is a shame but I can't see things change in the foreseable future. Yet, the level is better than many people think it is and apart from Lyon, the rest of the clubs are of similar quality. In the English or the Italian leagues, the bottom five or six teams are really poor. It's one thing doing to do what you can with what you've got when you face strong european sides, but it does not excuse the poor quality of the domestic league, they all seem to play with the aim of not losing instead of winning. I look at a league like Bundesliga which isn't that stronger than the French Championship and there is a huge difference about the pholosophy of how the game is played.

Paal Nilsen Love that i singled out in my comments is one heck of a drummer that i saw two years ago with the formation The Thing which the heaviest jazz gig i ever attended. Familiar also with mister Ljunkvist that i saw with his formation Yun Kan 5 this summer he was aloso one of my coup de coeur of the last Montreal jazz fest.
