Yesterday Bruce Arena hammered US Soccer in his Sports Illustrated interview for being unprofessional. Today the Dallas Morning News gives us a little more insight into just how unprofessional can be. They are trying to screw FC Roma from Dallas out of their $10,000 bonus for being the last lower division team standing in the US Open Cup. They are using "small print in the contract" type bullshit to give the money to someone else. A total joke. But us fans who tried to get tickets for the World Cup from these fuck-ups know first hand how unprofessional they are - the tickets were available first come first served, and they made us FAX our requests in, while having only one line to do it on! I guess they are still living in the 1980's.

“No, not soccer. Hopefully, something more physical.”
What, like golf?
Yeah, funny how Tiger wants his kid to play a more 'physical sport' this is the guy who is known for getting angry when people are TALKING when he's trying to putt the little golf ball.
Can you imagine if he had to endure a slide tackle by Craig Waibel, Dema Kovalenko ?
Tiger would last all of 45 seconds on the soccer field.
I actually wonder if he said what he said about soccer to tease his Swedish wife... Maybe I'm lonely but when I read the qoute I pictured his wife reading that and getting angry at him and the two getting into a wrestling match... Of course when I picture that happening his wife isn't wrestling Tiger rather me... mmmmm swedish nannies.
