Nobody said it's ``like'' any other sport. Soccer has a better claim to the whole ``world's sport'' title than any other, no question about it. Why is that? Surely there is more than one reason, and amongst them is a pretty clear correlation that holds for more than just soccer. ``Marketplace of ideas'' suggests a more conscious choice than is the actual reality. Whilst I appreciate your timeline-based suggestion, the bottom line is that the colonizers influence the colonized. Is true. The rest is a matter of degree, and at that point, for me, whatever.

Since you like high end bikes, are you interested in CAT racing bikes from Switzerland? I've known the company owner's wife for 20 years. If you're willing to spend the big bucks and travel to Switzerland to have the bike custom built to your body, let me know. Seriously.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

NY Daily News:
Hope Solo’s nephew used BB gun to stop booze-fueled assault: report
Two-time Olympic soccer gold medalist Hope Solo got sprung from jail Monday, as it was revealed she allegedly punched her teen nephew while he tried to fend her off with a BB gun.
The 32-year-old goalie, busted for assaulting her sister and nephew Saturday, was freed without bail and ordered by a judge to stay away from booze.
She drunkenly barged into her 17-year-old relative’s Seattle-area home, told the teen he’s “too fat and crazy” to become a pro athlete and punched him, the boy stated in court documents, TMZ reported. She also called him “a p---y.”
He said he “went into a back room and got an old gun that does not work, pointed it at her and she kept coming at me.”
Solo was also ordered not to have contact with her sister and her nephew. Her next court appearance is Aug. 11Grammar... The difference between feeling your nuts and feeling you're nuts.
