I got in last night around 8.30pm, met up with Jake and Koluder and headed over to Cantina Laredo across the parking lot for a quick bite / bevvie.

While we don’t have to be at Pizza Hut Park until 4.30pm-ish, we do have a 9.30am meeting.  That’ll consist of going over the run down, prep and meeting with RSL’s Jason Kreis.

The US Women’s Team represented at the legendary The Price Is Right yesterday with host and Seattle Sounders FC co-owner Drew Carey.

The taped show will air on CBS June 13th.

I know if I had the chance to be on that show I better get to play Plinko!

Beans, Ace and I love Complex and read it religiously. Yesterday they put up 5 of the funniest television screw ups we’ve seen in a long as time. Here are two of them.

This is one of the best Cursing Tourette’s I’ve seen in a long time.

What’s his wife going to say the next time he’s going climbing?

Just got back from the other side of the hill after picking up my custom ear from Hollywood Aid Services.

I met with Jeff last Thursday as he had to take a custom fitting of my right ear. The process included taking little bit of string, stuffing it in my ear and then taking what looked like a glue gun full of goop and filling my ear with it.

After two minutes or so and a lot of jaw movements to make sure it fit perfectly, Jeff grabbed both ends of the string and pulled the dried up goop out.

This is the magic they achieved above 4 days later. And here’s a simple description of how it works.

It fits perfectly in my right ear and attaches to a cord that goes over my ear, clips onto the back of my shirt and plugs into a 4″ by 4″ box that hangs off my belt on the right side of my butt. That box also has a spot where the mic plugs in.

And that my friends is how I communicate with the guys (sometimes girls) in the truck.

RTE Sport Wrap Show is coming strong with their opinions.  What’s in those water glasses?

Conan is such a show off.  Art imitating life once again Mr. O’Brien?

Found this picture of Peter Crouch’s girl today over at Complex. Abigail just seems to pop up everywhere these days. After effectively taking over Britain, Abbey (apparently she likes to go by that) is headed stateside with a new TV show starring none other than Angie Dickinson. I don’t know about you, but this sounds like a train wreck to me. Although anytime a TV show has that quality to it, you can bet it will be a success.

A little unknown fact that often goes reported with Abigail Clancy…her brother is actually a professional footballer too. Now you know…
