Oh and Qatar got the World Cup in 2022 based purely upon its merits.

So the Olympics is removing wrestling. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/12/olympics-drop-wrestling-ioc-2020_n_2668195.htmlAlso in discussion was taekwando, modern pentathlon, and field hockey. Field hockey is pretty cool, so I'm happy they kept it. Here's what pissed me off about the decision. The criteria were as follows: The board voted after reviewing a report by the IOC program commission report that analyzed 39 criteria, including television ratings, ticket sales, anti-doping policy and global participation and popularity. So you're saying that nobody was watching wrestling and/or buying tickets. Yet Modern Pentathalon, a sport where almost nobody could name all 5 events involved, somehow made the cut? Made the cut ahead of one of the oldest competitive sports next to just running around? Modern pentathlon also benefited from the work of Juan Antonio Samaranch Jr., the son of the former IOC president who is a UIPM vice president and member of the IOC board. Oh, I see. It gets better though. They are up to add a new event now. We could very well get sport climbing, roller sports, or wakeboarding. The idea of wakeboarding replacing wrestling as an Olympic sport is just wrong.

So I've gone through with it, and have started playing American Football here in Aus. Does anyone have any recommendations on what I should look for in a WR helmet? Also, gloves - yes/no? Pretentious douchery or good aid?

If it ain't cold, why would you wear gloves as a wideout?

Yea, I'm getting mixed reports on gloves. We are coming into autumn here in Aus, and will be playing throughout winter, and I've already noticed how tricky it can be to catch a really fast thrown ball with numb fingers. But on the other hand, gloves do seem kinda wanky. Still, should be fun though.

They definitely help when it's cooler. It's been a few years since I played football, but for Fall and Spring Ultimate I wear them. Numb fingers + trying to catch = lots of drops and receiver gloves are just enough to help with that.

Grip, cushion, and protection for your hands from the turf.

I don't know if you guys have been following this Mike Rice stuff, but the guy is a major douchebag. Rutgers is getting ready to have some major backlash in the higher ups. Things are still dirty with the NCAA, but it seems as though the schools are actually starting to hold some people accountable......when they have a gun to their head.

Rutgers was at the bottom of the Big East. That makes firing your coach a hell of a lot easier while appearing to give a shit about student athletes than if you had Louisville-like numbers.
Bobby Knight never had a problem getting a job and I have to imagine that he did a hell of a lot worse than this.

There's worse on video- when he choked Neil Reed. That almost got him fired. I can't imagine that people would put with this shit now. Look what they did to Paterno.

As a huge Liverpool and Luis Suarez fan, I have to say it stunned even me while watching the game. I didn't know he'd done it before. I cannot imagine what makes you think 1) you won't be seen and caught and 2) why the fuck would you bite a dude in a football match? THE FUCK? He'll be suspended the rest of the season and some of the next and he deserves every bit of stick he'll get for it.
But goddamn is he an amazing player to watch.

Amusing article on biting in sports Highlights being mentioning the Uruguyan (sp?) Rugby team that crashed in the Andes and clip of dog at the barstardized version of Gaelic football/Aussie Rules that Ireland and Australia play annually.
