and "The Blind Side." He knows how to tell a story.

I assumed Martina Hingis played for the other team.

Nah, didn't she date that Aussie tennis player Lleyton Hewitt, or something? She was not dykish at all...she just had that annoying European forehead.

Yeah, kinda like Helena Bonham Carter or Christina Ricci, but I don't mind it...

Seems like Natalie Portman kinda has the forehead thing going on, too, but maybe it was just in V for Vendetta...

I'd do my best to wreck Natalie Portman.

Actually, I'd probably last about 5 minutes, she'd tell me to leave and then I'd tell everything she had a stanky pussy

Fish Tacos!

Ditto on Portman

Ah, the portly man likes Portman...

Showtime has a show called 60 minutes sports - its a mix of some stories the actual 60 minutes does that just happens to be on sports and some new stories they do specific to sports just for the show.

The latest episode was interesting - talking about the 7v7 football squads - kind of the AAU circuit for football players that is doing more to highlight the players than actually playing high school football does, and its cutting off coaches access to money and sponsorship they used to get from corporate sponsors, colleges and various middle men.

They also did a story on fantasy football that was focused on how popular it is and how they have $80k money leagues now.

Finally, the one I wanted to talk about was kayaking the Potomac river just north of Washington where it becomes class 5 rapids. Its a disturbing story because a woman they were profiling dies while they are filming and they other kayakers go to extraordinary measures to retrieve her body. It was tough to watch but I couldn't stop.

yeah I saw that story--attractive and young--kayak went thought empty and they found her stuck between rocksunder water

more high profi;le athletes killed in things like skiing, extrme sports etc there there has been in autoracing the last 10 years

Speaking of, everyone is saying that movie "Rush" is incredible.

I'll watch it. racing was a bloodsport back in the day. If you've never seen Le Mans starring Steve McQueen it's a great movie with killer racing footage.

I wanted to see Rush last night at the theatre, but we would have had to wait over an hour. We saw Runner, Runner. It was a decent popcorn flick.

I saw it. Liked it. They nailed James Hunt and Nicky Lauda.

Someone needs to explain to Jurgen that, when you have a chance to bounce Mexico from the World Cup, you let Panama win the game. Fucking idiots.

I was just sitting here thinking the same thing.

I guess its not in a soccer players nature to take a dive

Yeah, riiiiight.
