Re: U.S. loss and Travis Best

Talk about people with too much time on their hands.  Who really cares how
well this team does in this competition.  So they lost, it doesn't sound
like the end of the world as we know it, now does it? They in effect are on
summer vacation, with some moducum of pride on the line, but really how far
is that going to carry these guys that might normally take each other's
heads off in a regular season or worse a playoff game.

Let's continue to sweat getting a PG, and unless those FA's are also playing
in this tournament, then again, who really cares. Let's worry about how much
sweating Vinny is doing about now. Any MA sitings for our new wonder boy.

Sounds like preseason fantasy league hoo ha to me.

Are you ready for some Football?
