Crystal, let me explain the difference between golf and american football.

In golf, the players wear these specially made shoes with steel spikes in them so they can stab the grass and try to kill the roots,
next that failing, they take clubs of steel and beat the grass silly taking huge tufts of grass and sending it screaming in pain to the
next hole.  That failing to work, they beat it to death with these clubs as if the grass had somthing to do with them missing this
tiny white ball that was sitting on the grass or in some cases they run a wooden spike into the grass to set this tiny ball on. This is
called tee'ing off (and when they miss the little white ball they are really tee'ed off).  Then they ususally have several people with
them which try to squish the grass and spike it also.  Then if that's not enough, they drive a 1000 lb cart over it to finish the job.
Later the grounds keeper (you remember him from football above) starts looking for them with a rope in his hand (he is not very
happy)  meanwhile, these guys jump in there english sports cars and beat it out of the park to the bar to brag about how much
damage they have done, and keep it written on these little score cards.  laughing as they drive away, drunk from too much to
drink, in what they call the "club house".  The club house is the place where they keep all the files to "sharpen" all those clubs for
the next day of beating the grass.

Now in football, its not so bad.  They just bury the head of the opposing player in the grass and leave it.  If he lives through this

ordeal they get to do it agian. ;D ;D ;D :o Now for more information on this contact scotish rob.  The scotistish are pros at doing
this...LOL LOL

I wanted to say a little about Wimbleton or more specifically Li Na the No. 12 ranked female tennis player in the world.  I love sports and I love Chinese women, so nothing more natural than watching these beauties play.  Li Na was born and lives in Wuhan and turned pro in 1999 and was the first chinese tennis player to break the top 10.  At this moment she is play Serena Williams, and she has already beaten Venus once so I think she can win this match.

when she was 8 years old her coach had asked her parents if she could switch from
badminton to tennis because he thought she played badminton as if she was playing
tennis and he saw the potential in her game.

they agreed and the rest is now going to be written for her

I hope Holland wins as they haven't won before. Realistically, I think Brazil, Argentina or Spain will win ... not that I follow soccer at all. I think it's a boring sport but I know that lots of strategy & stamina are involved in the game.

I was shocked that Holland played a physical match. After getting 5 yellow cards, I thought they were going to be followed by red cards. Imagine playing with 5 guys ejected. Felt sorry for the Spanish guy who got kicked in the chest ... Ouch. Though I was rooting for Holland, Spain deserved the win.

All in all, it was a boring match. With all the physical play, I thought I was watching a hockey game. I was hoping for the penalty shootout.

I work with a Dutch person and even she was ashamed of the overly physical play of the Netherlands.

Well done Spain, they've been the best team in the world for the last two years and it is about time they won the World Cup!

Dave I heard that Steinbrenner passed from a heart attack at 83.  Not a Yankee fan but have a respect for baseball and it's past. Steinbrenner like him or hate him had a deep impact on baseball.  He really loved the game.

A very smart businessman. His Yankee TV/radio station rights are a billion+. After buying the Yankees in the 70's for a faction of it's current worth, they're the most valuable sports franchise in the world beside a couple of soccer teams like Man U.

Seinfeld tv made him an even bigger cult figure among today's generation.

Manchester united----1.8 billion
NY Yankees-------------1.65 billion

the worth of the two

Steinbrenners cost with his 13 partners in 1973----- 10 million

not a bad turnaround for the original investment

i used to love the battles between him and Billy Martin,Dave Winfield

A quick question for those that live here, is there any local competitions for rugby etc?  When I move here I would like to coach rugby again, I did it for the national Navy side and would like to coach a local saturday run around the park team just for some fun.
I WILL have my revenge for having to be clean shaven......once I learn how to tame my Dragon.

Yes there are in Guangzhou and Shenzhen area not sure about the other cities. actually for football
or as we call it soccer in the USA. not sure about the rugby as that is a lot tougher than the football
from what i have seen and i dont think that is played here?? but i could be wrong
