It's intentional


Just kidding, my brother from Florida got a real kick out of showing off articles about the Florida team winning (I don't follow hockey).

Out of curiosity, how exactly do they open a soccer match?

They do a kickoff - Each tem is standing in its own half, outside of the central circle. Only two players are allowed inside, both from the same team (determined by throwing a coin - the team that wins can pick either they want the kickoff, or they choose the side of the field they play on in the first half). One of them passes the ball to the other, and that one can do whatever he wants, but he usually passes it back to his teammates. But I remember one time the other guy didn't pass it back - he made a shot because he saw the opposing goalkeeper was standing far away from his goal. It went in, and it was the fastest goal ever - less than four seconds (it took the ball that much to reach the goal)

I think they should be the target in SKeet.

Well, the poll is pretty self-explanatory.

Explain to me why politicians should open any sporting event: I thought the function of politicians (for them that approve of such a thing) was to administer the country, not flounce about looking self-important at the start of spectator sports. Then again I may have misunderstood this whole 'politics' malarky entirely...

Kerry's pitch is as weak as his policy, so I guess Baseball is out.

Ride pace for the first couple of kilometers in a cycling race.


Can you imagine it? Dubya out in front of the peloton, his belly prominant in his tight fitting outfit, his face red as he gasps for breath trying to remain in front, while the rest of the peloton yawns and stretches their legs. I'd pay to see that.

I think they should be the target in SKeet.I like skeet!

First bull in the bullring?
