.... I'm not a forensic expert, but I think the guy on the far right of the picture is getting ready for a healthy dose of some soccer cleats to the midsection. This is South American Cup Final aftermath. Watch the video as it is a good example of the mob mentality. Near the end of the video, everything seems to be calmed down until the Penarol player (in the picture) does his best Jackie Chan impression.
But even more interesting is watch the crowd literally start hopping and swarming like somebody kicked over a fire ant nest. Classic.
... maybe a job at Target or WalMart would have been a better second option? Let's hope she at least got a good grade in criminal procedure in law school.
.... This is great news, as teams have been dying to get their hands on him for the last two years. He is the most feared center back in the world and is fearless in the air. Add a world class attacking midfielder and United will be poised for number 20 and another Champions League Final.
..... While we are all fixated on Anthony Weiner having phone sex with women (yes another blatant lie to America only remedied by being caught), we have the final chapter of what might be the biggest fall from political grace in American political history going largely unnoticed.
John Edwards faces prison time over his use of campaign funds to cover up cheating on his cancer-stricken wife and fathering a love child.
He deserves everything he is going to get.
Some may say that Nixon was a bigger fall, but Nixon was somewhat redeemed by his public service post-Watergate and became a sympathetic people to many prior to his death(still a villain to many as well). But Nixon had Ford to pardon him; so will Obama pardon Edwards? Hardly...touching Edwards now would be political suicide right before the 2012 election.
The media loved him, the liberal press worshiped him and the Democrats saw him as an up and coming face of the new Democratic Party. I can't even say this is sad, except for his children who unfortunately will be known as his children. Even if they accomplish anything in life, they will always be the "child of disgraced former presidential candidate John Edwards."
If convicted, he loses his freedom, what is left of his personal life and, most importantly for me, his license to practice law.
... Look, everyone knew Chicharito was a huge part of the season. But lest we forget, while Chicharito was getting up to speed and Rooney was pouting about his contract, Berba was quietly carrying the team.
Personally, I think Fergie got it all wrong only letting Berbatov start 5 of the last 20 matches.
He is the manager and you have to respect his decisions, but think what an uproar there would be if Kevin Durant wasn't even allowed to suit up in the NBA playoffs? I mean, Ferguson will do it his own way and he has a warehouse full trophies to prove it, but occasionally you get one wrong and this was a huge error in my mind.
Berbatov not even on the bench for the Final? Michael Owen instead? The man scored 20 goals in the toughest league in the world. There is something more to this than football, because it has to be one of the stupidest decisions by Ferguson in a long time.
.. He is already a legend. He has won (I believe) every trophy a club player could possibly win. This EPL title is his 10th. If United beat Barca then he will have 3 Champions League trophies. Like last year, he will only stay if he thinks he can contribute and we should respect any decision he makes because he has earned it.
MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) -- Manchester United's strong on-field season has been accompanied by a 30 percent rise in commercial revenue, according to its latest quarterly financial results released on Friday.
Turnover for Manchester United Ltd in the three months to the end of March rose one percent to 75.2 million pounds compared to the same period last year, driven by the large rise in commercial revenue.
Commercial revenue for the period was 24.9 million pounds ($40.5 million), taking the nine-month total to 75.3 million and putting the Premier League leaders on track to break the 100 million-pound mark for the first time when full-year results are released.
United have been increasing their territory-specific commercial ventures, such as mobile phone service deals in single countries.
"The strength of the new commercial strategy is demonstrated in very strong revenue growth," a United spokesman said. "The combination of global partnerships and deals that relate to individual countries has delivered a significant rise in income."
United are one point away from a record 19th English league title, which they can secure with a draw at Blackburn Rovers on Saturday, while they have a chance of further silverware when they take on Barcelona in the Champions League final on May 28.
