took the weekend off from soccer so i could focus on the knicks collapsing in round one of the nba playoffs but now im back for the game of the week, this afternoon's matchup between manchester city and manchester united. man city is essentially one game behind man u for the lead in the premier league with three matches to go. so anything short of a win will all but clinch for united.
bumped up to espn proper at 3pm est.
we all recall my similar effort from my indoor soccer days...

as a long time second year fan of barcelona i can say without equivocation that this has been the worst week in the history of barcelona football what with their disappointing second place finish in la liga and their even more disappointing ousting from the semifinals of the champions league. and just to cap it off their much beloved (aside from this week) coach has decided to step down. this article flops into the mind of pep guardiola to tackle his motivations.

ya know how they always try to sell movie by proclaiming "from the director that brought you..." well i just saw an ad for battleship that went with "from hasbro the company that brought you transformers" in an effort to tie it to that franchise.

was listening to david cross on the wtf podcast today. he has had his credibility called into question for doing voiceover work on the alvin and the chipmunks movies but as they have grossed over a billion dollars and provided him with a lifetime of f.u. money, i think he can live with his decision. and as it turns out two of these were written by a high school friends brother (ive mentioned this before i know) who also wrote both kung fu panda movies. he also wrote the animated monsters vs. aliens. these are his five movie credits, total domestic gross over 900 million and 2.4 billion worldwide. he is now the 28th highest domestic grossing writer of all-time. his first non-animated film is in pre-production with freaks & geeks co-creator and bridesmaids director paul feig behind the camera.
