Andriy Shevchenko is asked “why not call the world football game soccer to avoid all the confusion once and for all regarding which game is which?”
I ask, “would the americans rename American football (NFL) as Dockey if the world decides to call it that?”
Heh.
Update: Geoff points out that he is being asked to call American football Soccer and keep calling football football. I guess I got confused. Wouldn’t the suggestion, if followed, make things all the more confusing?
Also, how would American fans take to rest of the world calling their football soccer?
Maybe we should call every thing Dockey and settle the issue once and for all!
Well, it does show that all the pre talk counted for nothing. Go for a player because he is attacking or defensive? If the difference in talents between the attacking and defensive player is huge, would it not be sensible to chose the much more talented player and then trade him off intellegently? The returns will not come? If the player in question is indeed that talented, why could a proper trade not be worked out?
It’s the end of April, which means sports fans are asking two questions: Who the hell is Mel Kiper Jr.? And when is he going away? The annual draft onslaught has been in full force since well before the college bowl season began, and this year it’s being laid on thicker than Ed Hochuli’s neck. At this point, the NFL draft has become the most overanalyzed, belabored event in all of sports…
Thankfully, it will all be over Monday, and we can get on to what’s really important: exhaustive NBA draft coverage. Now there’s a draft where the coverage means something and you don’t get a bunch of early-pick busts. I can’t wait to choose between my Michael Olowokandi and Joe Smith jerseys and take in some exciting first-round action.
