Over at Soccer FanHouse, I’ve been writing a little about the so-called rumble between Columbus Crew fans and the Inter City Firm , a band of West Ham United hooligans. As you can see from this video , the actual confrontation turned out to be ...

Football Players and Gang Signs
 
The NFL is reportedly looking into players throwing up gang signs during on-field celebrations . You know whom they should be investigating? The cheerleaders… For the record, this won’t be the last time I use this video. It’s that awesome. ShareThis

Quick Note: RSS Feeds
 
Those of you who read FanHouse might have noticed a few changes going on over there over the last week or two. AOL finally got their hands on FanHouse.com and is shifting things around, which has resulted in many little things breaking. However, they fixed the author RSS feeds today, so the feed of my FanHouse posts in the right-hand sidebar is working now. So if you want to add my ...

A youth club in Sydney, Australia, is funneling players to Croatia. Somewhere, an Irishman is grinning at the karmic retribution of it all...

Crazy gridiron-loving Brit plans to hit all 31 NFL stadiums in one season. Has anyone told him yet that he's only going to see 17 games? Or have they finally mastered teleportation without telling us?

AFL Aims for Year-Round St. Patrick’s Day
 
Australian Football and Gaelic Football can’t seem to get away from each other. AFL clubs keep sending scouts to Ireland to swipe young talent with dreams of playing professionally. The International Rules series keeps finding new life, despite being little more than an on-field brawl most years. ( Collingwood boss Mick Malthouse is in as Australia’s coach this year, too.) Now AFL ...

Let’s See If MLS Gets This Taken Down Again
This is the video that MLS originally had taken off YouTube, possibly illegally . I have a copy of it, so if it gets taken down again, I’ll be ready. Bill Archer has an interesting take on this story here . (Hat tip: The Offside and ...

 Is Major League Soccer Breaking the Law?
Is Major League Soccer Breaking the Law?
I don’t think it’s any secret that I have my issues with Major League Soccer. It’s a cheap league run by cheap owners, its overhypes everything it does, it doesn’t pay much of the talent it has nearly enough, its playoff ...
Leigh Matthews Endoreses Ruining the AFL
 
Brace yourselves, Aussie Rules fans. Brisbane Lions head coach Leigh Matthews is about to make you very angry… “If you can milk a free kick then I think you do milk a free kick. I’m certainly not going to be a moral arbitrator that you shouldn’t milk free kicks. There’s no rules against trying to milk a free kick provided it doesn’t put you out of the ...

You Can’t Spell RUGBY UNION Without P-O-R… Wait, What?
 
Rugby viewers in New Zealand last weekend got a little surprise with their sport — four minutes of hardcore porn . It seems a scheduling screw-up caused Prime TV to switch off from the game and over to Desperate Black Wives 2 . As opposed to Desperate All-Black Wives, I suppose… The mother in this news report — which, sadly, does not show the slip-up — seems ...

This Will Get Your Saturday Started
 
The 2008 Tri-Nations Rugby Union series kicked off today in New Zealand — you may have seen the giant ad for it to the right there — and what better way to get it started than with a big fat haka from the All Blacks? If that doesn’t get your blood pumping a little faster, nothing will. (In case you’re wondering, yes, the Stellenbosch ELVs are being tested this ...

All’s Kinda Quiet at Maryland SoccerPlex
 
Despite my continued attempts to play up this tournament on FanHouse , U.S. Open Cup fever hasn’t exactly swept the nation. You can tell this by comparing and contrasting the atmosphere at D.C. United’s weekend trashing of the the L.A. Galaxy with the scene at their 2-0 win last night over the Rochester Rhinos of USL-1. Abram Fox at DC Sports Box did that for us : How strange ...

Wizards 4, Railhawks 2 AET
 
Well, I guess Curt Onalfo doesn’t really give a shit about the U.S. Open Cup until he realizes his side is down 2-0 in the second half to a mid-table USL-1 club. That’s when he throws Claudio Lopez into the game and tells him to start pushing forward. One goal and one bad penalty — which led to Railhawks fans singing, “Who’s your father, who’s your ...
