Blogger Round-Up

Some of you regular visitors who read our comments may be familiar with Jess, who is a local Twin Cities gal. She's been one of our most regular visitors for awhile. Some people may not know that's she got a blog of her own, with one of the top blog names in existence, I Was Told There Would Be Bacon. Am I throwing a shout-out because she won our first public contest, and I have yet to deliver the winning Jesus statue? Possibly. Also, after the 35-W bridge collapsed, I thought she wrote a very simple, heartfelt little piece on it. I must say, she handles the prospect of riding by the wreckage every day, while one another bridge right next to it, better than I would. Of course, I didn't particularly care for or trust bridges before this event, so there you go. Anywho...

In the course of an email discussion about something or another, it was revealed that one of Jess' friends did not care for Two Stupid Dogs. This is crazy talk. And I realized after that exchange that Two Stupid Dogs was on the air regularly almost 10 years ago, and many of you young pups maybe have never seen Two Stupid Dogs. So, before we get to our Sports Blogger Round Up, an episode of Two Stupid Dogs, titled simply, and brilliantly, "Red".




On to the Round-Up!

From Ladies..., we get an interesting discussion amongst the ladies about what it means that some men seem to think they can't possibly be 'real' football fans. We hold no gender-bias here, Ladies (or, as I prefer, Womyn). Come watch football with us; we'll cook omelettes for you, and brew Earl Grey tea, and respect your opinions. And you will probably find a way to complain about that. We're looking squarely at you, GordonShumway.

This Suit is Not Black is reporting on a Beckham Imposter. Awesome. Anyone who can fake that voice without giggling deserves to cheat people. It's a working class British Paul Lynde, and that's not easy, people. (Alternatively: Beckham's voice is more incongruous with his body and ability than Tony Gwynn's, but less than Mike Tyson's)

It is possible that we don't check in with We Are the Postmen often enough. First news that most Chinese women living in Milwaukee are thugly. That bit of deliciousness is followed quickly by news that one of the dim bulbs who stars on one of MTV's "reality" shows went on a date with Josh McRoberts, and found him not worthy of a second date. Good instinct, Golddigger!

From the City Pages BALLS blog, a simple metaphor using Kevin McHale and the character of the director from The Player.

According the Beautiful Game, sneaky Brazilian waterbug & Das Assistmacher Kaka is down with the Adidas "Impossible Is Nothing" marketing plan.

That's one of my favorite episodes! I also love the one where they're trying to open the door so they can buy cookies from the Fudgy Scout girl.

I should really rethink my choices in friends when they don't like such comedic genius.

Does this offer apply to both types of football? Because, you know.

Also, I wouldn't think Josh McRoberts was worth a first date.

Amanda, I can't speak for all the soccer nerds who write for this site. But as far as I'm concerned, your knowledge of Barclay's Premiership would allow you that sort of respect.

We would be wrong not to mock your team of choice however. Your team is a horrible conglemration of dirty hacks and self-indulgent pretty boys.

Hotspur! Hotspur! Hotspur!
