    Soccer has been popular here for years. Even before I was fan, I saw people wearing their team's jerseys all the time

    I wouldn't worry about Deford (or Dracula as he is looking more and more like) I bet a savvy computer person can put together quotes from him saying soccer/world cup will a) never get an American audience B) only get a small audience c) only will get an audience every four years D) will get big audiences if the US is good E) will get big audience for big event matches etc etc etc.. He is a man that once lived in a world where boxing and horse racing were huge sports but will deny that the US can change in its sports preferences. I think its fun listening to him as its fun to see the stereo-scope: relics from our past.

    espn tilted the best of the best poll against a soccer play? Today sportscenter anchors allegedly told viewers to vote for the gridiron play for the sake of change. I can't link but the poll results and comments are still up in the sportsnation section. I guess this sort of thing is expected from espn but I thought I'd share it.

    It was only a matter of time before some yokel would come out of the woodwork and put the blame on the sport itself for the untimely death of Ricardo Portillo. If you feel like losing some brain cells...there you go:
