SportsFilter: The Wednesday 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.
Went through a slideshow of last year's Super Bowl celebrations in New Orleans, followed by this year's homecoming and rally in Green Bay.
Rejoice ye in the mighty contrast in all its splendor.
(Although I think a person could fit right in wearing a cheese bra to Mardi Gras.)
Loved the pix of the fans shoveling out Lambeau.
Couldn't help noting that the sports-minded young women of the Badger state far prefer the Clay Matthews #52 jersey over all others.

Grotesque and a little sad: previously-banned cyclist Riccardo Ricco ends up in hospital with kidney failure after apparently trying a home transfusion with blood he drew and stored in his freezer, in emulation of doping techniques from a bygone era.

FULL CASTROL RANKINGS - Messi, Ronaldo seem reasonable enough as 1,2 but Lampard and Malouda are not currently the 7th and 8th best players. Still, I appreciate rankings that give love to defenders, though I would expect the best goalie to slot in higher than #22.
