There are many times during a Sox broadcast when I truly wish Remy would just shut up. He too betrays more than a hint of arrogance in some of his commentary, but because of his longevity and association with the team's success, it is overlooked. In his defense, he is one of the better analysts in the sport, but he and his partner (not limited to the current one, but going back over the years) tend to get off the track and forget about the game. I would hope he was joking, but I'm not too sure he was.

Re: Morgan goal
I had to watch that a few times to figure out how that worked. Even after understanding it, I'm still stunned.

She's a bona fide striker, but that wasn't just a striker's goal: that was a bit special. (Marking was non-existent, though.)

I was supposed to be at that game and couldn't make it or watch it on TV. Arrgh. Hope there was a good crowd at Harvard Stadium like they had for the mid-week WPS match in Rochester.

Ah, not as nice as Mario Balotelli's shot.

When I saw the name I thought you meant this guy. My bad.

If you watch the clip carefully, you can tell which one it is because he doesn't have those God-awful Crocs on.

Yeah, I'm with you on that, those crocs are brutal.
I saw the clip but before I did I thought it would consist of the preparation of braised duck.
