There are times that I question why I have chosen to dedicate my life to writing about sports; most notably on those nights and weekends that are spent working rather than exposed to friends, fun or nudity.

So that's what it looks like when the Chicago Blackhawks are playing near their best, eh?
Sunday's 7-4 beat down of the Philadelphia Flyers in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup finals should be a stern reminder of what one of the league's best offenses looks like when it's clicking on ...

So today I was perusing the news when I came across an interesting thing: Some baseball expansion team named the Baltimore Orioles have fired their manager.

Apparently, a lot of people don’t like Bryce Harper. They think he’s a no good, cocky punk. Take a few snapshots of any 17-year old kid and you can draw any conclusion you’d like. I got laid on occasion, it didn't mean I was some lothario. (Oh, how I wish...)

Now to the group most of us have the greatest interest in. Our group, Group C. Ever since the draw with the U.S. getting plopped with England and then two seemingly weaker foes in Algeria in Slovenia, optimism is high Stateside.

Well, do they? Hey, it’s sports - anything can happen. Who would have thunk we’d beat Portugal and Luis Figo in 2002?

And like we promised, we're continuing with our World Cup preview. And in case you missed Wednesday's opener, no worries.
Here’s your class ...
