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.
That's gonna test the tubes' carrying capacity.

That video is terrific, yerfatma. Loved watching the whole team come out to congratulate her!

Can't believe she made that shot.

A few games ago, after Bruins' players had hit several posts in a period, announcer Jack Edwards claimed that there was a conspiracy and the puck had a magnet embedded in it. Of course he was joking, but it almost looked like there was some sort of homing device in there for that shot. Good for Gramma.
Interesting name for the service manager, Joe Jock. There seems to be a sporting event connection here.

Just more proof that sports fans are the scum of the earth.

Somebody should have reminded him that, while in the box, keepers may use their hands. Not that kicking the shit out of the guy wasn't an effective strategy, but it may have been cathartic to punch him once or twice.

That was extraordinary. And yes, I was shouting "get the fuck in" when the keeper was aiming to ensure that the skinhead fuckhead would sire no children. What does the Dutch FA do? Replay behind closed doors seems like the best compromise.
Perhaps Sepp Blatter will suggest that they make up with a handshake.

What would they have to make up? There's no racism in skinheads.

To follow up: Esteban's red card was rescinded, the match is to be replayed behind closed doors, and the pitch invader's off to the slammer.
