On the Eve of the new Season...

[vansmack]

I'm hearing there's nothing to worry about for Fox Soccer+ to be on Directv.  It will likely run about the same price as Setanta.  No word on whether or not Fox moves all the best games to FS+ because of the fee though....

March 1 is date I'm hearing for both Fox Soccer Channel to be in HD and FS+ added to the channel lineup for Directv.  It is not likely that DTV subscribers will get Man United-Aresnal in HD this weekend (I'm not certain about other providers).

I'm moving on to "brownies" now because I'm still on such a buzz....

This was a horrible idea.  I'll let venerable share some of the brilliance that spewed out of my mouth last night, but all I really remember is being catatonic and puking.  Maybe a whole brownie was too much....

By now we're all rooting for Rooney for Captain of England because he'd never sleep with your wife (though you'll want to keep and eye on your granny), but this one I didn't see coming:

John Harkes left off 1998 US World Cup Squad because he was sleeping with Eric Wynalda's Wife

as far as the terry situation goes, they cant stick by him. let the guy have a private life, but how can you tolerate a leader sleeping with a teammate's wife. coming from the usmnt view, anything to unsettle a team in your group is a good thing i suppose

i have fox football fone-in on the dvr and havent watched it yet. it just hasnt been as good without steven cohen, up until now i suppose

[vansmack]

as far as the terry situation goes, they cant stick by him.

They dropped Terry this morning, but I bet that's less exciting to you than this move:

Best says no to Toon #9 Shirt: "That shirt has to be earned."

I love players like that...

[godsshoeshine]

yeah, right stance to take, especially because it hasnt been a popular signing. not sure why it hasnt been

[godsshoeshine]

also i am at home for the snowpocalypse ii, so i get to watch a steam of todays match

[godsshoeshine]

oh poo, no tv anywhere on the net

[hutch]

Ref that didn't see Henry's handball is going to be a ref at WC..

Disgusting but not surprising.... FIFA stinks.

The Champions League final has been moved by Fox Sports from FX to your local Fox Network for Saturday May 22 - NATIONWIDE.
