Departure Of Arena Football Set To Cripple NBC
It's a day we've all been dreading. The Arena Football League's deal with NBC has expired, and NBC has opted not to renew it. I know, I'm as upset about it as you are. We shared so much this season through the ups and downs of the Arena League. It brought us all closer together....

God Refuses To Save The Queen
...but Portuguese goalie Ricardo saved just about everything. God left the queen hanging out to dry on penalty kicks, after 120 minutes of scoreless play. Penalties were 3-1 in favor of Portugal, and they'll be advancing to face the winner of Brazil/France in the semifinals....

Rick Reilly's Wide-Eyed Reaction Shots
Back in April, we told you about "The Beer Belly," a contraption that allowed you to sneak beer into stadiums through a fake beer gut. You would then drink there beer through a tube, or something like that....
Tossing Out Cards Like A Vegas Blackjack Dealer
Well, if there wasn't a rivalry between Portugal and The Netherlands before, there certainly is now. In a bizarre game in which the referee went absolutely batshit crazy, 16 yellow cards and 4 reds were handed out, tying a World Cup record. The official went through three different ink pens with all...
England Keeps Winning Ugly
One goal on a set piece was the difference between England and Ecuador. For some reason, Ecuadorian goalie Cristian Mora, he of the pretty painted face, left Beckham about 80% of the net to shoot at, and Beckham tucked a nifty little curveball just into the left side. Beckham then celebrated with ...

Live Blog: Portugal Vs. Mexico
It's bright and early today, perfect for a particularly rocking soccer game. (Match. Pitch. Whatever.) This one, similar to the Germany-Ecuador game yesterday, could be for the top seed in the next round, though Mexico hasn't nailed down their spot just yet....

Rick Reilly And His Rimshot
Honestly, we have nothing against Sports Illustrated superstar Rick Reilly. Sure, he mails it in seemingly twice a month, his sudden conversation to an anti-steroid advocate seems to only go for people not named Bill Romanowski and we have no idea what that "Riffs Of Reilly" thing is supposed to b...
