getin2thegame I'm glad that people are discovering Fan Zone; We in the USA get to see the full matches repeated throughout each week, and it's fun. It helps if you are a fan of one of the teams playing, so it's cool for me that Arsenal is in this clip.
There are highlights like this every week, and this isn't even one of the best ones; this is more or less standard...

Thanks to Footy Mania for the find.

• MIXMAKERS captures some candids of Michael Jordan with a new lady:
Funny, we though he more into the chunky caucasian type.
• SPORTS FROG is shocked - SHOCKED! - that John Daly isn’t a morning person, as the gutty golfer missed a 9:33 a.m. tee time with Cheech Marin & Don Cheadle.
• Speaking of wake-up calls, PITCH INVASION checks their room key, as the Ghana national soccer team was booted out of their hotel - in their own country.
• Staying with the other kind of football, THE BEAUTIFUL ...
Soccer's Gus Johnson
AwfulAnnouncing —
I have no idea who this is but it's from Sky Sports Fanzone. The Soccer channel gets a fan from each team to announce the game, and I think they found themselves a gem. I particularly like the use of the word "rocking" about 17,000 times. An announcer that could learn Joe Buck (The Beautiful Game)
Gus Johnson, for shame
The Postmen // A Sports Blog // Chicago, IL. —
The Beautiful Game passes along the above video this morning, making note of the boredom suffered last night at the hands of Joe Buck:
In case Joe Buck’s borefest of a broadcast brought you down last night, I offer a remedy.
What better to lift your spirits than an out-of-bloody-control Englishman on press row?
That’s a good point, though I’m not sure this guy was on press row. The video claims he was on Fan Zone, which, if I’m not mistaken, is a show where two opposing fans narrate the action as it’s ...
All Announcers Should Be Like This Guy [Soccer]
Deadspin —
For a little slow-day-and-you're-probably-not-at-work anyway action, we present you this September clip of a Leeds broadcaster enjoying a goal a little too much.
As The Beautiful Game notes, if Joe Buck were more like this, we'd never hit mute on our television again.

A crazy announcer + Links of the Day
Obscure Sports Quarterly —
This clip may be a few years old, but listen to how excited that announcer gets. If only we had people calling games like that in the U.S.
Some great links I’ve found across the Interwebs:
Recapping one crazy experience at Cubs Con 2008. (A League of Her Own)
A ...
The magic of relegation...
Covered in Oil —
Ever scream so loud that you detach your retinas? Apparently the most exciting play in the world is a last-minute goal to avoid relegation. This guy puts the Oilers' Rod Phillips to shame, so much so that his colourman eventually tells him to shut up (something I can't picture see Morley Scott doing). Can you believe it?
Stop The Madness SLU…
Cardinals Diaspora —
I don’t plan it like this, I swear, but I’ve been sitting on this ’Modern Day Jesus’ clip for about 4 days waiting for Friday to post the link. In the meantime, the STL is aflutter with religious banter since the head coach of the SLU Billikens Rick Majerus banged out a few choice words at a Hill-Rod fundraiser last weekend. I don’t want to get all political on you baby, but I think the most Rev. Archbiship Raymond Burke is way, way out of line here. How can you possibly deny holy communion to the mascot of your university? Huh, answer me that? It’d be like UGA not getting fed at Georgia or like ...
There’s Nothing Like Fan Zone

That’s some serious nudity after Tottenham’s last goal.
Thanks to John Hughes for the heads up.
VIDEO: Fanzone calling of 4-4 Arsenal/Tottenham game
The Beautiful Game —
This is great. I might be ruining the ending by saying the Tottenham guy loses some clothes before it's over.
