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

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

Also, replacing one trouble maker with another ;-)

You surely mean the Tottenham game on Sunday ?? :-D

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:

      Your Golf Game - The Uplifting Topic

      By StKildaSenators ·

      I've been really happy with my game dispite not playing a tonne this year.    My two biggest weaknesses have had turn arounds. Driving and chipping has got much better. Used to slice my driver terribly every time, but managed to not hit 1 bad slice today. Chipping has just started to turn around, only mishit one from a weird lie where I didn't commit to the shot. Of 8 rounds this year, two in the 80s, three below 95, and only one over 100 (with horrible greens).    Just got to work on trying to at least go to the range once or twice a week for some consistency. Hit I think 4 really bad miss hits, and was a little slow starting with 3 or 4 mini slice/hooks with irons on the first few holes. Still much more good than bad shots, but more practice should get that good swing happening more and more frequently.

      I definitely have a better outlook on BD after watching his YouTube channel and his appearances on Grant Horvath’s channel. He’s an odd character but he loves the game and is considerably more entertaining than Scheffler and many other PGAT players. I do however continue to see Koepka as a total douche.    I’m pulling for Rory but won’t be disappointed if BD wins. It’s just a damn shame he’s with LIV.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 44. (15 Jun 24) - took yesterday off (was on the road all day, home after midnight kind of thing). Today was back to it - played local course as a solo.  Played one of my fave formats of rotating thru the tee boxes - adds dimension to the approach game.  Best part of the day was the wedge play with a first ever hole out eagle on the par 5 13th hole.  Drive was tight to the left needing a punchy iron to get back to the center of fairway.  Left about 80yds to the flag, figured an easy GW would leave me close for a birdie putt.  Caught it solid and watched it one hop into the hole….over all a good day of working on the game.

      Simple, Specific, Slow, Short, and Success - The Five "S"s of Great Practice

      By WillieT ·

      As @iacas wrote “This applies to golf, too. Relentlessly chip away at whatever you’re seeking to change. It’ll add up over time in a big way.”  Have to say my work on key points is seeing consistent results -  slowly chipping away at a better approach game, leading to more GIR and nGIR which makes for easier pars and more up and downs.
