Fun little "article" (More like a powerpoint presentation) on the "worth" of each Premier League teams kit ... based on the combination of the manufacturer deal and the sponsorship deal. htt

Real shitty day for Everton. Could only muster a draw against a team that wasn't even in the EPL last year.

It looks like "Super Mario" Balotelli will leave AC Milan for Liverpool. Big signing for them getting one of the biggest and most recognizable stars in the game. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/liverpool/11048148/Mario-Balotelli-confirms-he-is-leaving-Milan-to-join-Liverpool.html

There's replay on the NBCSN website. After a match is done, it's there for a day or two. Not quite HD but good enough.

Now that my son is playing soccer and I'm coaching, and right on the heels of the World Cup, my interest level in the game has gone way back up.  I've been watching somes games and highlights from the EPL these first two weeks.

Looks like the marquee games for this week are Everton/Chelsea and Tottenham/Liverpool.

When my soccer nut friend got me into watching the EPL several years ago, he also "made" me pick a favorite team.  As much as I'd like to have somebody to root for, I couldn't really do it because it seemed so artificial.  (To get him off my back, I chose Middlesbrough :doh: )  I'd still like to have a team, but I think the only way for it to happen without actually having a home team will be for it to just happen almost without me realizing it after watching a team a few times.  Wonder who it's going to be?!?!  (The only thing I know for sure is that it won't be a team from Manchester ;))

Everton Chelsea!!! Whoo. I predict they take a 2-1 lead and give up a Eden Hazard stoppage time goal. You heard it here first.....I say Everton. :-D. You could bandwagon, or pick a fun, decent team like Everton, Stoke, or Swansea. You kinda have to do some research, or else you'll end up with a awful team that gets relegated...(*Cough Cough Middlesborough)

Yeah, kinda makes games easy to watch in that you're never stressing out.  I'm just kind of always rooting for good play and whoever is down to score the next goal. :beer:

I'm just a total front-runner. I like Chelsea and Everton, but also Manchester City and Liverpool. I don't mind Arsenal either. Anyone but Man United though. Can't stand them.

I am definitely the opposite when watching sport. When I'm watching as a neutral i always find myself rooting for the losing team, no idea why, just do! I don't often watch sports though where i am 100% unbiased on who wins.

In the EPL, i support Liverpool so never a full neutral as there is nearly always a result that would favor us. I never want Chelsea or a Man U to win though. The closest i come to a neutral spectator is when i get to catch the odd NBA game, unless Denver are playing i have no preferences. I've been to Denver a fair amount and the first NBA game i saw was with some Denver fans so I've become attached to them.

Haha, sorry! I got the wrong end of the stick so to speak. I took " whoever is down to score the next goal" to mean whoever to most likely to score next which i then inferred to be the winning team. :-P Do you see where i got confused though?

LOL, whoops.  Yes I do see it now ... although it hadn't occurred to me when I wrote it.  Me and my dangling participles. And I gave @RonTheSavage crap for something similar just yesterday!! :doh:

      Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.

      Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
