SportsFilter: The Friday 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.
The Christian Science Monitor on-line edition has a look at athletes who swap nationalities and how it might be the result of recruiting rather than the athlete's instinctive choice.
To me this is not too different from switching employers to one who offers you a better career opportunity.

The Tulsa Drillers have a bat boy with flair. (YouTube, inane chatter from some lady - worth it)

Are you kidding me, Ufez?! That is amazing. I want to talk to the girl that walked away in the middle. How good is the beer around there?

Nice clip, Ufez. He has some moves, to be sure.

I haven't been to the new Drillers Stadium (yet), but given that it's Oklahoma, they probably sell watered down (2.8%) generic lite crap.
In other words, plan ahead.

Oh crap, I'm hyperventilating here. The playoffs haven't even started yet and the Hurricanes are already facing a Game 7. Come on fritsy, will your boys to a win tomorrow.
