Keep us updated as it unfolds, Giss. With my (HS) season still half the school year away, I'll live vicariously through you. I love coaching club, but there's just something special about the HS season that cranks my tractor.

Sportsmanship is a topic often overlooked in coaching. It gets better as players get older and play at higher levels.

Yep - watched the game live. According to reports, the beach ball was actually punched on to the field by a Liverpool fan. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/ 8308907.stm I remember a similar incident recently when Man City were knocked out of the FA Cup by a balloon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXmVqbcSVqc Technically the ref should stop play to clear foreign ...

Yep - probably the best coaching course I've taken. You don't need to be able to play at all. When I did it, they brought kids in to take part in the sessions.

'MATURITY IS WASTED ON THE YOUNG' " SOCCER IS DIVIDED INTO TWO PHILOSOPHIES - -IF YOUTH ONLY KNEW -IF AGE ONLY COULD"

Of course he has the right to spend his money how he sees fit. The group interested in buying the Rams also have the right to remove him from said group if they see fit. Which they did. The fact is Rush Limbaugh has made obviously ignorant, if not downright racist comments about at least one player in the NFL. This is well known and there were already players speaking out that they would never ...
