Nobody? Really? I hope that’s because you’ve been spending so much time watching the World Cup at work- or maybe skipping out on work to watch it. That would make me feel better. Well, even if you didn’t send in your submissions, I’m sure you’d like to know what the answers- yes?

We’re going to make this quick, folks: Lifehacker’s got about three different ways of getting rid of vuvuzela droning from your World Cup broadcasts. I’ve tried none of them, but if those little plastic horns are really driving you nuts these may at least be worth a try. Check it out if you’re interested and [...]

So, yeah, I missed yesterday. Not my fault; the alcohol prevented me from remembering the dullness of the Ivory Coast-Portugal game (you’ll get your fancy little French name back when you play better, guys), and while the New Zealand-Slovakia game was entertaining (particularly the final goal), it’s hard to get that excited when I’ve heard [...]

FJM Style: Pro Football Talk

I realize “FJM’ing” is kind of played out in the sports blogosphere, and nobody can do it quite like Ken Tremendous and crew, but I felt this article on Pro Football Talk needed to be discussed. I realize that once every four years a lot of the American sports media gets on one of two [...]

Here’s the deal: I took this whole first week off of work to actually watch the games properly, and I want to take advantage of that with a recap of the day’s action. I’m clever enough to not put the score up there (for all you office workers who will watch this later), but everything [...]
Coming out of the Closet with Fuse: The Siena Collection

Somebody once explained to me the reason that people are nostalgic, or more specifically, why we generally tend to remember the “good things” and forget the “bad things” in our lives. The reasoning was that hanging on to all the negativity that goes with bad memories would essentially cripple one’s psyche, that it would be [...]

I guess we all know what the main talking point from yesterday will be, now, don’t we? To sum up, Robert Green’s horrendous “effort” at (as Fuse so often likes to point out) Clinton Drew Dempsey’s fairly tame skipping ground shot was lacking, and the USA equalized. Steven Gerrard had exposed Ricardo Clark, Carlos Bocanegra [...]
