no one puts there hands up when falling. All people put there hands in front of themselves to protect their face. FAKE FAKE FAKE. I think the refs were in on the fix.
The wimpiest sport of all time
I was listening to Colin Cowherd this morning and he was interviewing Doug McIntyre of ESPN(soccer). If I hear one more time how well conditioned and how tough the game is I am going to puke.
Mcintyre was moaning how tough the game was and in the next match with Portugal that both teams are going to be tired. They have 5 DAYS OFF.
I could possibly understand some fatigue on a match on the third day but i even think you should be fully recovered by the 3rd. day These people are in their twenties.
I always hear how much they run. Bullshit. Watch a game closely. They stand around all the time. When the ball is on one side of the field everyone on the other side of the field are standing around. Midfieleders do run but by large it is short(20 second bursts of speed).
The NBA in the playoffs had a game every other day for 6 weeks. There is hardly any rest. Football plays games all the time 3 days after a Sunday game and talk about taking a pounding. Football is brutal with gigantic sized people causing mayhem.
I am a great believer in conditioning. when I was young i typically played 2 hours of basketball followed by a 5 mile run in 37 minutes with the last 3 being 6 minute miles I followed that with 250 sit ups and 150 push ups.
Even now at 62 I ride 16 miles a day on my bike and I am about to start doing the pushup/situp regimen again.
GIVE ME A BREAK.
Post of the day- Heats Spurs
If Heat fans who leave early donated just one can of food each
we could end world hunger.
I can't take credit for this but I can post it.
Samsung-what a crappy company

The Great Smartphone War
For three years, Apple and Samsung have clashed on a scale almost unprecedented in business history, their legal war costing more than a billion dollars and spanning four continents. Beginning with the super-secret project that created the iPhone and the late Steve Jobs’s fury when Samsung—an Apple supplier!—brought out a shockingly similar device, Kurt Eichenwald explores the Korean company’s record of patent infringement, among other ruthless business tactics, and explains why Apple might win the battles but still lose the war.

On August 4, 2010, amid the bustle of downtown Seoul, a small group of executives from Apple Inc. pushed through the revolving door into a blue-tinted, 44-story glass tower, ready to fire the first shot in what would become one of the bloodiest corporate wars in history. The showdown had been brewing since spring, when Samsung launched the Galaxy S, a new entry into the smartphone market. Apple had snagged one early overseas and gave it to the iPhone team at its Cupertino, California, headquarters. The designers studied it with growing disbelief. The Galaxy S, they thought, was pure piracy. The overall appearance of the phone, the screen, the icons, even the box looked the same as the iPhone’s. Patented features such as “rubber-banding,” in which a screen image bounces slightly when a user tries to scroll past the bottom, were identical. Same with “pinch to zoom,” which allows users to manipulate image size by pinching the thumb and forefinger together on the screen. And on and on.

Steve Jobs, Apple’s mercurial chief executive, was furious. His teams had toiled for years creating a breakthrough phone, and now, Jobs fumed, a competitor—an Apple supplier no less!—had stolen the design and many features. Jobs and Tim Cook, his chief operating officer, had spoken with Samsung president Jay Y. Lee in July to express their concern about the similarities of the two phones but received no satisfactory response.

for all you samsung fans read about a really scummy company filled with thieves. I will never buy one of their products. Go ahead and defend them.
Mr. Ryan "We see a pattern here"
If this fedex shooter turns out to be white then just like you see a a pattern with "inner city" people not having a work ethic we see a pattern of white people not being able to handle guns. Almost all of the mass killings in the country have been white males with just a few exceptions. There is a pattern here. maybe we should restrict guns for white males.
George Hincapie: Lance Armstrong not to blame for Cycling's dope culture
Source: Examiner
Lance Armstrong said he is still a seven-time Tour de France winner despite being stripped of his titles for doping because the cyclists he had competed against also cheated, AFP reported.
"Yes, I feel that I won the races," said Armstrong. "I know that is not a popular answer, but the reality is, it was just a messy time. It was basically an arms race, and we all played ball that way."

To everyone who dissed lance please learn something about this sport. Hincapie is one of the most respected cyclists around. This was a witch hunt by the anti doping agency. EVERYONE DID IT.
Learn something about the sport before you criticize about it.
