Kings/Lakers
White Sox/Reds
College football/basketball players receiving money
Pete Rose gambling on baseball
Ben Roethlisberger's sexual assault (alleged)
2004 Red Sox being roided up (along with the rest of MLB)
Tim Donaghy

...and on, and on, and on.

There are controversies and scandals throughout the sporting world. Soccer doesn't have a monopoly on these practices. They're just the most visible because it's the world's biggest sport. I'm not that impressed by this story, and I'm still excited for this year's World Cup.

Great game today: Barca dominated Arsenal but ended up with the 2-2 tie. Awesome match!

Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.

Indeed.

I was attempting to be inclusive towards gentlemen of the other persuasion. I hear there's a few of said gentlemen on the old 'NN.
