Nightly Wrap Up
If There Was Ever A Time To Watch Some Soccer, Now Is The Time

Today's blog goodness

1. Phil Jackson was sort of pissed about the officiating in Game 2.
2. LA's getting a jump start beating down the Celtics.
3. Speaking of beat downs, the Rays are beating themselves up.
4. Leon Powe dunks like Dr. J. Well, not really.
5. Did the NHL extend the Stanley Cup Final for ratings?
Other FanIQ site goodness

1. Considering how bad the reffing was for Game 1 and 2 of the NBA Finals, why don't you grade the work the refs did yourself. I gave them an F-.
2. Here's Phil Jackson's full post game interview.
3. And here's your weekly update of celebrity news. Hayden Panettiere is single, and apparently curious. I'm totally fine with that.

Tonight's TV goodness

There's not much on tonight. In fact, there's nothing. Let me make the suggestion that if you want semi-decent sports action, you should tune in each morning and early afternoon to Euro 2008. It beats watching Cold Pizza or Around the Horn, and the acting is better than any daytime soaps. In other words, I'm suggesting there's a lot of diving in European soccer. Especially since it (diving) was invented in Italy. In fact, it's Italy biggest contribution to the world right behind Rome and fat opera singers.

Arena Football League: Los Angeles at Utah (ESPN2, 10 p.m.)

College baseball: NCAA Division I super regionals: Game 3, UC-Irvine at LSU (ESPN2, 7 p.m.)

Major League Baseball: Cleveland at Detroit (ESPN, 7 p.m.)

Couldn't have happened to a better guy. It is a shame that injuries shortened his career like they did.

I meant diving was invented in Italy. I'm not sure where soccer was invented, i think England, but diving was all Italy. That's cemented in history.

One of the earliest forms of soccer in which players kicked a ball around on a small field has been traced as far back to 1004 B.C. in Japan. The Munich Ethnological Museum in Germany has a Chinese text from approximately 50 B.C. that mentions games very similar to soccer that were played between teams from Japan and China. The Chinese kicked a leather ball ( hair-filled ) and it is known with certainty that a soccer game was played in 611 A.D. in the then Japanese capital, Kyoto.

The Romans played a game that somewhat resembled modern soccer. The early Olympic games in Rome featured twenty-seven men on a side who completed so vigorously that two-thirds of them had to be hospitalized after a fifty-minute game.

Once they reached the hospital, they sprung back up as if nothing had happened. And thus, the great tradition of diving was born.
