Here in LA we get a lot of flack for not having a food culture. I for one, think that is actually a good thing because you tend to not get brainwashed early on to one culinary style AND I think you are more willing to try something that is a little different. Speaking of different, there is the food truck phenomenon. Now that they are regulated, and they are no longer like the “roach coach” I had parked out in front of my high school, I love ‘em.

If you are in Seattle this weekend, come kick it with us at Kells on Friday night. The fine folks from all the “Designated Players” sites will be hanging out and we want you to come kick it with us. We’ll be at Kells Irish Pub Friday night starting at 9pm. If you are in the Seattle area this weekend, come through. Nuff said. It’s going to be a great night and we hope all of you can make it by. There is a $5 cover at the door charged by Kells (none of which has to do with us nor will it be going to us).

Injured Liverpool pair Steven Gerrard and David Ngog are fit to return for Saturday’s crunch clash with Manchester City. Skipper Gerrard has been hampered for several weeks with a groin injury and in the absence of their talisman Liverpool have suffered damaging defeats to Fulham in the Premier League and Lyon in the Champions League.
Ngog, meanwhile, suffered a broken nose on France Under 21 duty this week. His absence would have been another blow with star striker Fernando Torres already sidelined with a groin problem.
On Monday, Floyd Mayweather (40-0) released a statement through his publicist expressing concern that pound-for-pound and world welterweight champion Pacquiao hasn’t been more aggressive in pushing for a showdown that could be the most lucrative event in the sport’s history.
The release said Mayweather listened to several comments made by Pacquiao’s promoter, Bob Arum, and trainer, Freddie Roach, but “still has yet to hear Manny Pacquiao himself say he wants to fight him.”
