biggest hat in the ring

Maybe I am deluded. Maybe I tie my heartstrings to the newest soapbox too fast only to aid the ripping out of that engine which powers my body and soul when the platform is pulled out from beneath my feet. Hyperbole?

Beckham Book By Bueno & Canales in the Offing

3
Whilst thumbing through The Ball is Round: A Global History of Soccer in bed the other night, I wondered to myself "when is someone going to do the first book about Becks in America?".

It’s Biden (Why Not Pia)?!

14
I opened up MSNBC this morning and saw the news that Obama has picked Biden. Probably a smart move ... experience and gravitas and whiteness and all.

McCain Continues to Flounder; USWNT Heads to China!
