Hey Brewer

A couple videos since I can’t sleep. Less than 12 hours before the 2nd leg of Manchester United vs FC Barçelona in Old Trafford.

What a goof.

Brilliant. Guess who directed this (hint: not Peter Crouch. Not even Ini Kamoze.)

Just concluded, the first leg of the semifinal match between FC Barçelona of Spain and Schalke 04 of Germany, played in Shalke’s stadium, the Veltins-Arena (which is located very close to the Veltins Brewery). Barça had ridiculous amounts of possession in the 1st half, scored early, and took the one goal lead into the break. Now, if you have been following this team as of late, you know the second half of an away match where Barça has a 1 - 0 lead has only two outcomes:

- Barça survive a barrage of attacks and headers and win 1 - 0.
- (much more likely) Barça hang on for awhile but eventually give up an equalizer, and possibly the go-ahead goal.

I’m of course referring to Ray Hudson, the likable old man who does commentary for GolTV, and his reaction to Ronaldinho’s chilena against Atletico Madrid. (AM would somehow win 4 - 2 despite looking like complete shit.)

Because let’s face it, it looks like Shaq, it acts like Shaq, but that ain’t no Shaq. Or at least that ain’t no superman Shaq. But you, sports fan, know that. Sports media knows that. This guy hasn’t played in a month, and when he was playing with the Heat this year it was even money that he’d reach 6 fouls before he reached 6 boards.

So why play him so many minutes? It was his debut with the Suns also; common sense would dictate that there’s no way a practice or two would already make him fit into their system, and if ever there was a case of making a rotund, cheezburger-buffet round peg fit into a square hole, this is it.

What Wes Wade lacked in Premier level experience, he made up with in hair.

A long, flowing, golden, mane of smash mouth, goal scoring, Samson-like, power giving hair.
