are you ready for some futbol?

no, probably not but.... some quality matchups today. first up tottenham v. chelsea at 11am on fsc. they are two of the top six teams in the english premier league. and no, i have no idea where tottenham is. chelsea won the premier league last year. at 230 from italy, lazio faces juventus pitting two of the top four team in serie a also on fsc. and goltv has two la liga games the better of the two has barcelona playing real sociedad. that would be one vs eight starting at 250.

and finally on a rainy day in secaucus, the jets hope to wash away the execrable taste in their mouth from their thrashing on monday night by the patriots. it was really the kind of beat down that can only be forgotten by avenging the lost should they meet again in the playoffs. it was that ugly.

the apostle paul was on snl last night. youd think with the "big" itunes noise recently hed favor us with some beatles to push some product, but no, just two "classics" from the wings catalogue. what an iconoclast!!
