New Mexico Women's Soccer: Probably Tougher Than Cristiano Ronaldo

Soccer can be a rough game, especially in the top-flight European leagues, where jersey pulls and raps on the shins are basically part of the fabric of the game. But it's apparently roughest in the Mountain West Conference's Women's Soccer Tournament, where BYU beat New Mexico 1-0 in the semifinals and probably only scored a draw in the battle royale. The two teams combined for what would seem like...

Fort Hood Shooter: "maybe the Muslims could stand up and fight against the aggressor"~Video

Major Malik Nadal Hasan, the shooter in today's Fort Hood attack, had made his pro-Islamic views well known in the past. Why was this lowlife allowed to continue to serve?

Hat tip to Patrick.

Bachmann was a gas

I hate to bring this up on a Friday night or, honestly, to go here at all, but we live in a country where carrying around pictures of the Dachau death camp to “protest” health care reform makes you an authentic representative of real America. I wish there was a more pleasant way to say this. [...]

What Will It Take to Make Women's Soccer a Mass Spectator Sport?

A little while ago, I spent some time thinking about that question and came up with a tentative answer: women's soccer needs more jerks playing it . I'd say the fact that ESPN Sports Center featured these highlights from the semifinals of a mid-major conference college tournament (i.e., not exactly the World Cup) helps my argument.
