http://www.davesfootballblog.com/ - It's always football season somewhere.
The boys at TheCup.us just alerted us to the news that two more clubs — the Tampa Bay Rowdies and Crystal Palace Baltimore — have broken ranks with USL and officially joined the new Team Owners Association league . For those of you keeping score at home, that gives the TOA a total ...

O MY GOD ONE TIME I TOOK A SNAP TURNED AROUND AND THREW THE BALL OVER MY HEAD AND SAID WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Seriously, it’s more fun if you’re listening to this while watching that video.

You’ve got it all figured out. You’ve broken through the backline. You’ve got an angle on the goalkeeper. All you have to do is slot the ball home and celebrate your goal.
Then, this happens…

After watching Jake Delhomme shit the bed against the Eagles in Week 1 this year, I fully expected the Carolina Panthers to have a very long and very ugly season . So I tuned out and focused on my Steelers, who then proceeded to shit the bed twice against the Bengals — which was no fun ...

This is how France got into the 2010
FIFA World Cup. There was nothing legitimate about this
goal. Thierry Henry clearly used his hand to direct the ball and set up William Gallas for the game-winning score. However, none of the officials saw ...

Three years ago, I wrote about Carolina Panthers v. New Orleans Saints game in which the Saints, down by four points with 1:56 left to go, failed to stop DeShaun Foster from getting a key first down and let him run into the end zone for a touchdown. The Saints then scored a TD of their own less ...

What better way to start the week than with an old guy flippin’ the bird?
Yes, Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams was clearly enjoying his team’s win over Buffalo yesterday, so much so that he proudly stood up, pointed at the Bills, and gave them the finger — two ...

Does anyone really know what American club soccer is going to look like in 2010? Because after the news of the last two weeks, I’m starting to wonder.
For starters, we’re on the verge of having two competing 2nd-division leagues in this country next season. The Team Owners ...

We have apparently reached the portion of the NFL season where everyone is bored to death and looking for random crap to talk about. Never mind that there are two rather important games this weekend with AFC playoff implications. (Bengals @ Steelers, Pats @ Colts) No. The world has decided ...

Until yesterday, I had never heard of Groote Eylandt , a small island off the coast of Australia’s Northern Territory that became part of the Arnhem Land Aboriginal Reserve in 1976. Groote Eylandt is home to the world’s largest manganese mine, which produces 3.8 million tons of the ...

As I sat here getting ready to watch my Pittsburgh Steelers in another big Monday Night Football game, I watched Ron Jaworski give a bit of his usual solid game analysis. As you can see from this video, David Anderson of the Houston Texans has seen some of Jaws’ analysis as well ...

Every football team needs an enforcer. Bolton keeps Kevin Davies around for a reason. University of New Mexico defender Elizabeth Lambert, however, seems quite willing to ignore that fine line between playing hard and playing dirty. Or maybe she just figured that if Troy Polamalu’s ...

The FIFA 10 commercial asks that question. This e-mail exchange might answer it:
Yeah. All the Premier League matches on ESPN won’t make the haters go away. Neither will the next World Cup. The rest of us will just have to live with it.

Some of us will have a good giggle over Tatum Bell’s claim that the UFL’s Florida Tuskers could beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers . I wouldn’t completely dismiss that idea myself, given the way the Tuskers are running over those other three teams. Plus, in a one-game shot, Jim ...

My latest piece for EPL Talk takes a closer look at how Fabio Capello is adapting NFL coaching ideas and techniques to the England national team — and how Portsmouth goalkeeper David James wants to go even further with those ideas.
And I think I speak for most Premier League fans when I ...

Y’know, in most cases, I don’t like to see a player from my favorite team getting blown up like this, but let’s be real. Hits like this one that Adrian Peterson delivers on William Gay are a big reason why people watch the NFL.
On the other hand, Peterson was compared ...

I’m a little late to this one, but I think it deserves a much more detailed analysis…
