Video: Colbert Asks "Is It Time For America To Care About Soccer?"
The Offside Rules — Last night Stephen Colbert addressed the Confederations Cup run and it's impact on the game in this country on The Colbert Report. Of course this being Colbert means it was 50% piss-take, 100% funny. He even had His Ginger Majesty™ along for the ride talking Azteca. It's madness I tell you, madness. This is the type of acknowledgment that makes me feel like a normal sports fan and not a member of a oft-ridiculed cult. I love it. ...

Video: Stephen Colbert asks is it Time to Care About Soccer?
You Been Blinded - Now in Dazzling HD — The United States’ soccer team got the country interested in the world’s game for a few days last week by pulling off an upset of number one ranked Spain. The U.S. citizens were ready to go into full bandwagon mode when Clint Demspey and Landon Donovan put Team USA up 2-0 against Brazil, but the Brazilian rally put the party on hold. Being the loyal American that he is, Stephen Colbert supports the U.S. soccer team, and makes a good case for supporting soccer in general. ...

The July 4 Weekend is Nearly Upon Us
The Big Lead — This is what you may be doing this weekend - behind the wheel of a boat with a bikini-clad WAG giving you a rub. Mr. Robot is a lucky fellow. We’re t-minus 24 hours until the holiday begins. Our weekend posting schedule we be as follows: Whenever the mood strikes us. There will probably be something Wimbledon-related; maybe something on Manny’s return, and probably any earth-shattering NBA moves. And no, Gortat-to-Houston does not qualify. We’ll be talking Transformers tomorrow. Jozy Altidore said it was terrible, and 17-year-olds know movies, so we officially have no hope for it. Wish we had spent today like ...

Is it time to care about Soccer, now that USA is good? Colbert Report, Video
NESW Sports, Sports Videos — Is it time to care about Soccer, now that USA is good? Colbert Report, Video. It is still weird to see Colbert with this hair, but anyways, I guess he is right. I hate that I will most likely have to cover the World Cup next year. On the bright side, it will be more interesting than just baseball all summer long. Now don’t misunderstand me. I love baseball, but this is a sports “Video” blog and baseball sucks at letting bloggers have access to their wonderful sports. ( I have said this many times, but I am constantly maddened by it, so I bring it up every now and again. ) Hat tip You Been ...
