I guess you would have figured it out eventually, after some sort of DNA test, you creep.<BR/><BR/>I saw your College Football / Simpsons deal months ago and sent it to a bunch of people but had no idea you were the creator of the link. I just figured it out when looking at John Pezold's blog: http://www.pezold.blogspot.com/<BR/><BR/> Anyway, good work. I will be checking your blog out. I know I won't understand it but it will be a good waste of time. Well, it will be a waste of time at least. Always nice.<BR/><BR/> Take care. See you at the next reunion for the HHS Class that I wasn't in.<BR/><BR/> DonnieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11250715.post-1151430191563537342006-06-27T13:43:00.000-04:002006-06-27T13:43:00.000-04:00Univision was sold today for $12.3 billion with a ...Univision was sold today for $12.3 billion with a B.<BR/><BR/>They better not mess with their, umm, content.

The last straw was Rece Davis' postgame analogy of a late goal being the equivalent of an NBA "buzzer beater." If Americans are ever going to understand the "Beautiful Game" we must not only PLAY like the other countries do, but describe the game the same way. A scoreless tie doesn't end "nothing to nothing." It's "<I>nil</I>, <I>nil</I>." Simple stuff like that. My wife is English and she's deleted ESPN off the remote control until mid July. Too bad we can't get the BBC's coverage for all those who do not understand what <I>futbol</I> means.
