SportsFilter: The Saturday Huddle:

A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.

John Oliver on the first African World Cup.

And I'm pleased to see sports talk in Ghana is just like in the US.

While you're at the Daily Show site, you should check out the 'alternative ending' segments that Oliver and Stewart recorded for the outcome of the England-USA match. Oliver mentioned it in The Bugle, saying that it was the best acting of his life.

Okay, those postings on the Ghana sports page are like an awesome alternate reality of American sports comments:

It is your gono that is acting up. You moron..

College World Series Is Moving On: Next year the Series will move three miles north to the $128 million TD Ameritrade Park in downtown Omaha. Gone will be 61 years of tradition Rosenblatt Stadium has been the tournament's home since 1950 and perhaps the event's iconic, clubby charm.

It would appear Bud Selig made the right decision in moving Blue Jays/Phillies series: G20 Protests turn violent: storefronts smashed, police cars set ablaze

Pffft. These aren't that bad as far as riots go. Quebec City was a shitload worse.

Cops have been very restrained. It's been ok. No hippie skull-crackings.
