Jozy Altidore and Giuseppe Rossi are new buds at Villareal (translation from club website).

“Rossi, who lived his early years in the U.S., and Jozy Altidore, American by birth, form an inseperable duo both on and off the field. The ongoing language barrier has favored Altidore to be supported by Rossi at the moment of integrating into the group. “He’s my best friend. He’s helping me out a lot in the locker room and, besides, we have a lot in common,” Jozy commented…”

A good friend of mine just took delivery on his GTR. And talk about patience, he’s had his name on the list for nearly 3 years. More pics and hands-on commentary soon…

Over the weekend I took a trip north of the border to visit Toronto and meet a couple friends and go to the FC Dallas-Toronto FC game.

After driving about 6 hours (I live in OH these days) I got to Toronto and checked into the Canadiana Hostel and met the crew. Staying at a hostel was a pretty random idea, but the location was great, there were a ton of Euro backbackers looking to grab a brew at one of the hundreds of local pubs, and of course it was dirt cheap. Hey, who needs air conditioning?

The Texas invasion force does not seem to scare the locals…

We walked over to pre-game a bit with the Red Patch Boys. Meeting the Red Patch Boys was very cool - let’s be honest, it can be strange to meet a bunch of Texans rolling up - but the guys could not have been nicer and we had some good laughs here. Notice the boots with shorts look, Yikes!

A Lot More Pics After The Jump…

Last night The Wifey and I caught up and had dinner with our Argie brethren, Lucas and Andres at Zip Sushi over in the Arts District.

Thankfully this time Lucas kept his shirt on, but I think he convinced The Wifey to let me go to Argie with his this year for the Newell’s v Rosario Central derby.

If you haven’t gotten down there to check the scene out, I definitely suggest it as it’s a pretty amazing place to hang out.

No, that’s not some two-body/one head bulldog.  Just Nesta (lighter shade) and The Duke having some fun in the front yard (and Ace’s flower bed to the right).

John C Reilly and Will Ferrell are at it again with the guys who made Talladega Nights.  Question, do you like Guacamole?

Colin Farrell is a funny f*cker and he’s on his way back to the big game.

After a sick kick off party at The Room in Hollywood to celebrate with our friends who’ve supported us since the beginning  on Thursday night,  it’s time for delivery on our Spring ‘08 line for Bumpy Pitch.  Special thanks to the players (Galaxy, Chivas USA, US Women and Hollywood United, ok and you too Max), buyers and Red Bull, 42 Below Vodka and 944 Magazine for the support that night.  We’ll have pics up in the next couple days.

If you’ve ever wondered who Tottenham Hotspur Dimitar Berbatov dates, here’s your answer.  Introducing model Tedi Velinova.

There’s no denying that I love snowboarding and I’m addicted to Brighton Ski Resort in Utah.  Yes, I have a season pass and now that Nike has come out with its Air Force 1 inspired snowboarding boot, I need to give them just a bit of love.  Now I’m wondering when we’ll see 59 different colors on this one style.
