I haven’t played soccer since I was 13, when I was on the “yellow” team and basically watched people run around me. One time, I scored a goal against my own team. I was pretty terrible. But I’m sure I can speak for all of you when I say those FIFA World Cup commercials I’ve been seeing since January have renewed my spirit for real “football,” which has pretty much been dormant since Brandi Chastain hit that shoot-out goal against China and made everyone think a woman in a sports-bra was slutty. Was that 11 years ago already? You’ve got to be kidding me.

Time to Finally See What Those U2 Commercials Have Been All About

Scenes from the Green Line…
It's too early for this hat.
With the Lakers up 2-1 on the Celtics in the NBA Finals, combined with the fact that the C’s played terrible last night and the tried-and-true are probably wounded this morning, this guy might have a serious death wish. Even his bench mates don’t want to be near him.

You Can’t Handle the B-E-E
The title of this photo is Spelling Monster. Thank you, Fox News.
Get ready for one of the greatest sporting events of all time that doesn’t require any physical exertion whatsoever, unless of course you win and you’re super nerdy and you do a weird half-jump, half-dance combination. That’s right! It’s the Scripps National Spelling Bee!
Oh my God, I’m so E-X-C-I-T-E-D! For years I have been tuning into the Bee solely to bask in its quirks and hilarity. I love when the kids ask for the language of origin. The concentration on their faces as they scribble with their finger on the back of those godforsaken neck nametags. The stumbling as they ask for the word to be used in a sentence. The Drama! The Intrigue! The Intensity! (There’s also a big chunk of time spent making fun of these er, spellers, because I was super nerdy, and I grew out of it – kind of, not really. So I have some license.)
