A bit of music for your listening pleasure. We frequently make the case for soft rock/yacht rock. Genres that are cool, sophisticated and wonderfully measured. In other words, genres that are awesome. In the spirit of awesome, there is no way I could keep Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer to myself. The genre is Chap-Hop, which will soon be self-explanatory.

Futbol Frenzy Segment on Morning Joe?

by Miriti Murungi

Morning Joe

Holy bejesus. I’ve seen it all.

I was watching Morning Joe this morning. Judge me on that if you will. I was kind of paying attention as Al Sharpton and Joe Scarborough talked Glenn Beck, Martin Luther King, and whether Sharpton will allow Beck to reclaim Martin Luther King’s dream. Sharpton basically concluded that Glenn Beck should have a different dream.

As the Sharpton segment finished, I heard someone reference a segment recapping the weekend’s football action after the break. Surely the reference was about the ol’ gridiron variety, so I paid no attention. Continue Reading »

The Federation Needs To Get This Bob Bradley Thing Right

Bob Bradley Decide

From Soccernet:

U.S. Soccer Federation president Sunil Gulati and Bob Bradley met in Los Angeles on Thursday, but no decision was made regarding Bradley’s future as head coach of the U.S. national team, according to a source with knowledge of the discussions.

No timetable has been set for when Bradley’s situation will be resolved.

Perpetual limbo.

Seemingly no one knows anything about the negotiations that are not taking place about the U.S. manager position.

We do know, however, that Bob Bradley is interested in opportunities in Europe. The only reason to reveal this tidbit is because Bradley is, well, interested in opportunities in Europe. Continue Reading »
