So the USA lost a tough match to Ghana this past weekend in the knockout round of the 2010 World Cup. Only in soccer can a third-world nation like Ghana beat a powerhouse like the United States. Ghana probably couldn’t beat the USA in a game of Tic-Tac-Toe, but somehow they beat us in soccer.

The reason for this: The vast majority of us Americans don’t give a shit about soccer.
Sure we get a little excited for one month every four years, when the World Cup comes around. We go out and be nice little capitalists. We buy Landon Donovan jerseys and drink at 9:30 am at our local bar when the game is on. We curse at the referees for calling off-sides (even though we’re not quite sure how off-sides works in soccer. Why is there no blue line?), and we don’t understand why they don’t just stop the clock when the ball goes out of bounds.

But once the World Cup is over, we’ll go back to our American football and baseball and we’ll make fun of people for watching the MLS. Soccer won’t even enter our thought process again until the next time David Beckham is on TMZ. Even yesterday, with the World Cup in full swing, SportsCenter led with the Tampa Bay Rays/ Arizona Diamondbacks game. (more…)

As everyone knows by now, Tiger Woods has fallen victim to a marriage scandal that so many other high profile athletes in the past have also dealt with. Alex Rodriguez, Kobe Bryant and Woods are just a few big name athletes whose infidelity has been well documented in tabloids and other forms of media.

While their reputations have been scarred forever, one athlete who has banged a countless number of beautiful women continues to have a spotless reputation. This man is DEREK JETER. Do you know why? Because he’s NOT MARRIED.

Any professional athlete, especially an athlete the caliber of a Tiger Woods, should NOT get married—at least not until much later in life. Derek Jeter has slept with Ms. Universe, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Mariah Carey and who knows how many other hot chicks. Only NOW, as he enters the back-end of his career is he finally starting to settle down. He’s been with actress Minka Kelly for quite some time now. (more…)
