Belated congratulations to both Yuck and hrudey on fine seasons. For me, looking at this game beforehand, it was a win-win as both these fine managers are BB buddies of mine. And hrudey, your'e right: sometimes it's better to lose by a few points than by one or two at the buzzer. But it is still not easy—and both of you have been very gracious. Good luck to all the clubs in II.4 which still remains as BB's "Group of Death:-)"

No love for "distinguished others?" How anthropocentric.

Your center was good at rebounding the basketball last night. 14 offensive rebounds!

Just saw that the SF Warriors won despite a fan playing 34 minutes. And they got GDP guessed on top of it. It was still pretty foolish to not at least have a $5k backup. But they really lucked out.

Player of the game: Lucky Fan. 3-5 shooting & an assist vs. an $83k center. He even made intelligent fouls to finish the game.

As far as predictions go: You'll never top picking the winning team, but being off by over 130 points! I don't think that's ever happened before. (by someone who knows what basketball is)

Random soccer thoughts:

Is anyone watching the world cup? The no commercial breaks is really nice. The flopping Dutch doofus (no offense clogs) I saw... not so much. Watched Mexico almost win & it was pretty exciting. (their coach is fat & awesome) But then a flop & a ref awarding the equivalent of a 50 point free throw undoes the entire match. Feels like such a waste of time in retrospect.

Penalty kicks deciding tie games (including the finals) is also awful.

I agree. It's like calling pass interference on a Hail Mary and awarding an extra play from the one. You never see that. I am watching as many games of the cup as possible. The Dutch are one of the more exciting teams to watch. Gotta hand it to Mexico, they were a real shit show a year ago and to be minutes from advancing to quarters 12 months later is incredible.

I think the Americans have a decent shot at advancement. Injuries and a red card make this almost a 50/50 affair. That would be a major momentum build moving forward for the program and statement by Klinsmann.

I haven't watched as much of the tourney as I might have otherwise, but I invested a lot of time watching hockey this postseason since the Kings decided to win in as long a road as possible for the first three rounds. I did watch almost all of the just-concluded Costa Rica - Greece game, though, and that was pretty stunning. Felt like Costa Rica would have had a real gripe if they had lost based on the non-call on the handball not long after their first goal, but I always say that if you're a team that wants to be winners, you overcome adversity or accept that you didn't do enough to win otherwise. Amazing to see them survive being down a man for essentially the final hour and then come up with the quality of penalties they took.

I've watched a lotta of Fiona Apple lately. Does that count?

I've watched as much of the World Cup as possible. It's nice to feel patriotic and get some sort of reward from the team. They finally figured out how to finish a bit. Belgium is scary though, I feel like out midfield is going to need to play well for any chance. I've really enjoyed watching Columbia...I get excited saying James Rodriguez with the accent. It makes me feel cultured. As an Arsenal fan, I just want them to buy a bunch of strikers I keep watchng.
