Viral Video



New Jersey Nets "star" Devin Harris (I never heard of him), in London for a pre-season game, get schooled by Londoner Stuart Tanner.

Apparently Tanner is a bit of a streetball legend in London.

I like the nutmeg dribble.

David Beckham's Right Foot

I watched Love Actually last night (one of my favorite movies) and laughed when Hugh Grant, playing the Prime Minister, described Britain as home of, among others, "David Beckham's right foot; David Beckham's left foot..."

Here's that famous foot in action (hat tip to 4 Eyed Keeper)

England Pays Women Footballers a Pittance



BBCSport: England women angry at £40 wage

Teamtalk (uk): England's women earned £40 a day
England women's team can scarcely believe their talent is worth only £40-a-day each - the payment they received at the recent World Cup.


England's Football Association probably spent more money on airfare for all the mucky-mucks to go to China to pat themselves on the back about all they've done for women's football. While paying the players like counter help at McDonald's. Go ahead, wear the national team jersey for pride. Because you're not in it for the money, unless you're a man.

No wonder Kelly Smith kissed her boots -- she was looking for holes.
