Almost 4 pages and the game hasn't even started yet.

It was horrible. I immediately lost all respect for him after the Barca jersey 'prank' after Spain won the World Cup.

Ugh I just realized that I'm going to miss the first quarter unless my class lets out early.

I honestly wouldn't mind Barca if it wasn't for the whole Fabregas drama. Walcott fans are a rarity. Dude was tearing it up though before the injury.

I think I might end up blowing off my powerpoint presentation, which is due tomorrow, for this.

By the way the official Fifa evaluation for Qatar (released several weeks ago) was awful. Normally I don't like playing the role of the conspirator but if it wasn't any more obvious that there was foul play...

People tried to say the same thing about South Africa.

Women in Qatar have to dress up 'modestly'. So no more of this: http://iamkoream.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/miss_world_cupfull.jpg http://cdn.bleacherreport.net/images_root/slides/photos/000/258/796/cutebrazilfan_display_image.jpg?1276563589 [expletive] this.

I know unoriginal thread but I didn't see one on this here. Players: Landon Donovan Theo Walcott Cesc Fabregas Messi Brian Ching Teams: Houston Dynamo Arsenal Don't follow any other teams besides those two. I do despise Barcelona though.

I miss having Ron on this team.

Houston alone has almost twice the population of Qatar. Terrible.

The accusations of bribing voters makes you wonder how big of a role that played in the decisions. I love the Russia pick but picking Qatar over the United States is a joke.

Wow.

0 points (0-4) in just 7 minutes of play for Jarrett Jack. Yikes, he's really struggling to fit in New Orleans (at least statistically).

Weird game. The most points scored by a player was 16 by Michael Beasley and Shawn Marion (neither shooting particularly well). Darko and Love (he did have 15 rebounds but...) struggled offensively and Dirk had just 10 points and 1 rebound...and yet the Mavericks win by 14.

I think the worst case scenario is that the signings are voided and Miami there draft picks (starting 2013 or 14 since they traded the rest to Toronto/Cleveland) much like the situation with Joe Smith and Minnesota. Anyways I'd actually be in full support of this investigation if Dan Gilbert wasn't the one heading it. The guy can't get over the fact that he got dumped (on national television).

I'd say they are just in a funk right now but a healthy Andrew Bynum would be a big help though.

You're forgetting about that blowout loss to the Mavericks. The Rockets do have my attention now but I still don't like our chances.

Jordan Hill. Honestly this may be his best game ever just because of his tremendous defense on Gasol.
