How about the fact that United's match is not broadcast at all this weekend on FSC, FSC+ or ESPN?  Pretty shocking.

ESPN3 at 4:00AM?  Really?  I have to check to see if I can get Deportes somehow so I can tape it and hear them gush about Chicharito all match in Espanol....

what could espn possibly have on like 5 networks instead of live sports they already paid for at 7am or 4pm eastern

I actually had to watch United recorded in a bar (stupid Comcast not offering FSC+).  Knowing that my favorite pub records all the matches, I walked in wearing ear plugs and handed the bartender a note that said:

"I have not seen the Man United match, nor do I know the result. I would appreciate it if you could put it on one of the TV's in the back.

Oh, and I'll take a Guinness.

Smackie"

He loved that...

I was hammered all weekend because this game went so well.  I sobered up for a 10 mile run and got right back at it.  Even the Irish can't fuck up a 4 goal lead at home...

This is going to make Poland-Ukraine so much more enjoyable.
