Are You Shitting Me?!?!? 0-5

My crappy soccer team gives up 5 goals to the Germans.  Most teams do not even score 5 goals in a whole tournament.  Who the fuck is this team anyway...a bunch of terrorists if you ask me.  With a name like "Supporting Lebanon"  I guess they should lose. What is the goalies name who gives up 5 goals?.... Hezbollah.  Bean this all your fault you snaked my Arnsal team in the draft.   Is this touney one and done?  

PGA?

Conatus -

Is this weekend's PGA Accenture Match Play a scoring event? Lefty picks up a tourney win last week but sadly no points for 2 cats.

Fake Sick; Meet me at Barristers

I'm going to Barristers (on Meramec in Clayton across from Miso) to watch all the action from the Pitch! Get out of your dreary places of employment and meet me there. The games are pay-per-view, which adds excitement. Dan? Just get one of those little plastic poking birds like Homer Simpson used. No one will notice you are gone. Herman, Guiness this afternoon? Patty...oh, never mind...some things are hopeless.

UEFA Preview

The round of 16 is about to begin and here's a quick preview I essentially plagarized from other sites. These teams will have rematches in a couple weeks to determine who moves on to the next round, but games start tomorrow:

Tuesday 1:45 PM:

Lyon v. Barcelona (Matt) - Barcelona is generally considered the best team in Europe and the favorites in the tournament. They should crush Lyons who play in the relatively weak French league.

Arsenal (Ben) v. A.S. Roma (Bussman) - Supposedly two attacking teams who are pretty fun to watch. Both teams are having slightly down years, but have an outside shot at winning the whole thing. Arsenal has a couple young stars and is a slight favorite in the match up.

FC Porto v. Atletico Madrid - Even matchup between two non-contenders.

Inter Milan (me) v. Manchester United (Lyons) - Best matchup of the first round. Winner of this is right behind Barcleona in their chances to win the tournament. ManU is on fire and has dominated the Premier League lately, but could be without 5 of its top defensemen against Inter Milan, who is similarly dominating Italy's top league and has one of the best strikers in the world in Zlatan Ibrahimovic. United is favored, but probably has a better shot at tying here and winning the return game on their homefield where they are 12-0-1.

Wednesday 1:45:

Chelsea (Campbell) vs. Juventus - Two good teams, but Juventus has injury problems and Chelsea just fired their coach so they're in a bit of disarray. Chelsea has a ton of talent and should win.

Real Madrid (Herman) v. Liverpool (Pat) - The second best team in Spain against the second best team in England. In the Spanish league, Barcleona has left Real Madrid behind, but Liverpool still has a shot at Manchester United. Probably the most even matchup of the round. Real Madrid has the tradition, but has been pretty weak in the Champions League in the past few years, while Liverpool might be more focused on resting guys and staying healthy for the Premier League.

Villareal v. Panathinaikos - Two teams that won't win and nobody owns. Villareal did tie ManU in the group stage and Panathinaikos stole a win from Inter Milan. Still no chance for them.

Bayern Munich (Brian) v. Sporting Lisbon (Zig) - Two mediocre teams in a mediocre matchup. Apparently Sporting Lisbon has never beaten a German team in European competition and are heavy underdogs here.

Transactions 2/22-3/1

Big Update

New points have been added for Thursday-Sunday.

Sorry I fell off for a few days. Please check your points, transactions, ect. to make sure I got everything right. Especially Dan. My eyes are a little glazed. If I made a mistake, Dan, I think it would have been to give you too many points. I have you down for a win each from VCU and Portland since Thursday.
