As is common with the American soccer fan, much attention this pre-season has shifted toward something completely ancillary to the success of the game in the United States. And I worry that unlike screams for single table to make the […]
The Brians posted earlier, but we have some other awards to give out before the big show. Without further ado: Best Use of an Obscenity: The audience at my showing of We Bought a Zoo sure thought they had paid to see […]
