Panic fc 279th amazing thread... not for the soft or the weak.

I can't stand Olympic puff pieces. The other night, they did a thing on the Prime Meridian. I said to the TV, "Come on! Show sports! I don't tune in for this crap!"

I need a day off.

Wait, I already had a bunch of those just recently. Never mind.

George Will on Mike and Mike.

Fascinating thoughts on future of football.

Me too. Labor Day is not that far off.

what did he say?

Jeff update: Still not feeling well. Needs infection to go away so he can start medicine for Crohn's again.

US getting pantsed by Italians in vball.

Oh god don't remind me, i have so much to do between now and then

Will discussed his column from Sunday about dangers of football.

http://www.postcrescent.com/article...orge-Will-column-There-s-no-way-make-NFL-safe

Basically, he suggested that parents will start to steer their kids away from playing football as more evidence indicates more health hazards of playing.

Get well, Jeff! We are all counting on you. For what, I have no idea.

Wish I could watch the volleyball.

Team Handball will have to do.

Sweden vs. Denmark ...

This video is hilarious!

That is AWESOME! Absolutely AWESOME!

It was Mens vball. We lost.

Will - I think I heard someone else make this point a few months back.. yeah, it was ME!!!

Jeff - thanks.

No idea what to eat for lunch.

team Handball - I had the kids play a version of this in PE, they loved it.

This sport would be great in the US.

Swedish coach has a really bad haircut.

I'm not in a great mood. People are asshats.

Beach volleyball!!!! Brazil!!

Manure and Barcelona ... Rooney pk blocked and he misses the follow up.

If it weren't preseason I would suggest he watch out for the odd hairdryer flying in his direction ...

Brazil v Argentina in hoops. This looks like a fun game to watch.

Tiago Splitter is a cool name.

Luis Robles signs with MLS and ends up with the team that he trained with NYRB. Interesting that 9 teams passed on 28 year old keeper with Bundisliga 1&2 experience. Here the Revs are with a 37 year old has been keeper and they had the first shot at him.......Guess they think someone better will come along in the next few weeks

I don't think he has enough games at either Bundesliga levels to be picked up too high in draft.

Revs - if it requires money being spent, they will always side with voting no.

I found out today that 4 people are actively seeking jobs. Two are being recruited by the Childrens Hospital. calling for an all out Jihad!

You should call Children's Hospital and start a bidding war. I'll make the call if you want.

This made me laugh:
Ives Galarcep ‏@SoccerByIves
I spent Jeff Larentowicz's first three years in MLS constantly calling him "Tim Larentowicz." Who is that? Someone I went to school with

Pretty sure this is going to be our last year in Alabama. This new school regime is not to my liking. Maggie's mom is no longer with us and her sister is moving to Atlanta in less than 2 weeks. Other than her grandfather in Alex City, there is no reason for us to be here anymore.

Is that Bruce Sutter's son?

A bidding jihad!!

When deciding to move somewhere, choose Philadelphia! Come for the incredibly high violent crime rate, stay for the fact that it's expensive to live here.

Went to Philly once ... that was enough. Saw the Liberty Bell, went to the old Vet, got yelled at by some corner market store owner, saw Rocky, Rocky II, Rocky II, and Rocky IV. I got my fill of Philly.

So back to NC?

Bama - I'm ready to go. Nashville would work.

Yeah, but you haven't toured some of the best parts of the city like Kensington! Or North Philly! You also haven't experienced the drug trade, either!

*Note: I also sometimes hate Philadelphia
