Sports Moratorium

The Great Sports Moratorium continues with one exception: The European 2008 Championships.

With the exclusion of soccer, all other sports topics are banned until further notice. The ban comes courtesy of the following choking teams: San Antonio Spurs, Pittsburgh Penguins, Houston Cougars softball. The crappy play of the Houston Astros also contributes the ban. The sports ban will remain in effect until the beginning of NFL training camps or until such events warrant the lifting of the ban.

Now to Euro 2008. What a fabulous ass kicking the Dutch put on the current World Cup champions. Words cannot describe this glorious victory for the men in orange. If fact I won't try to describe the action. Just enjoy the goals.

The first goal by Ruud van Nistelrooy in the 26 minute. It was a contraversial because the Italian golie pushed an injured defender out of play but the Dutch player was ruled on side.


The second goal put through by Wesley Sneijder minutes later in the 31st minute of play.


For good measure, Giovanni van Bronckhorst finished the scoring and put the hatchet in the Italians in the 79th minute.


Fuerza Azul trips to regroup against the Romanians while Clockwork Oranges hopes to continue the goal scoring against the French.

It's good to find some joy in an otherwise bleak sports landscape.
