By the way I did some number crunching yesterday and by my count had the officials actually called the matches as they are supposed to, Juve at this point should be just above Siena dangerously hovering in relegation zone...

Fvckin crooks.
Siena? Not bad. I was worried you were going to come up with Salternitana. (I'm sure Pado was a huge fan when he lived there.... especially on coffee can night.)

Why do you so often speak on matters that you have no information on (as well as matches you've never seen)?

You see Signore Stugotzo, the deal to bring the Hartford Whalers to Raleigh was completed just a few days after Hurricane Fran destroyed much of the city. I, myself was without electricity for 10 days and lost 18 large trees from my yard. Yes, a few landed on the house. So, in those days, hockey wasn't really on the minds of the people of Raleigh. The hurricane was, so it was suggested as the team name and received strong support. Of course some people were so traumatized by Fran that they thought it horrible to honor the devastation by naming the team "Hurricanes", but . . . whatever.
I'm thinking the Carolina Emphysemans would honor at least as much local devastation, but it would sound a lot less ominous... (That and the Carolina Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease would sound like a medical clinic or a bad 60s rock band.)

    P.S. Not planning any brokeback trips, but if you want to get together after World Cup that would be great.
    So basically I was right..they named the team after a natural disaster in which people lost lives, loved ones, their possessions, electricity and a few trees....nice. Only in Car-OH-Line-A...redefining the term "Cafone"

    Have a good one peeps....next stop Barca...if they let me on the train that is....

    Im working on my senior project, which is a on the correlation of residence to cancer rates in Shitesville, USA. Right now I'm punching numbers into Excel. I turn on the TV to stop the boredom and what do I see? COPS, AKA Shitesville's finest.

    Right Nick, ONLY in Carolina.

    Never mind: Miami Hurricanes, Iowa State Cyclones, Dallas Tornado, Colorado Avalanche, Tulsa Golden Hurricane, New Rochelle Pastrami Tsunami.

    Well, we booted the San Jose Earthquakes out on their asses just in time for the 1906 centennial. Ungrateful bastards coming in here with their disaster-mocking name ...
