Midweek Duldrums
By: jon | July 3rd, 2008I have found myself bored this week. I think it had to do with the emotional high of the LA match, the inability to go to the Rochester match on Tuesday, and the lack of another game until next Tuesday (which I need a ride to). So I troll the other DC blogs in an effort to find something interesting.
Poplar Point Perspective, following D’s lead, has written an interesting piece about the incredible disappearing Fred. I think he’s right when he says that the expectations on Fred are much higher due to his talent levels, and that fans expect him to finish the chances he creates. Fred was a goal scorer in Australia, and he was in 2007. He can be again. He just needs a confidence builder. Next time we get a penalty (that won’t decide the match), let Fred take it. I know that won’t happen, but I think it could break his duck, and snap him out of this string of sitters he’s squandered.
Goal.com has an interview with Bryan Namoff here. I read the interview, and thought it was incredibly stupid, until I saw this disclaimer at the beginning…
Remember those Choose Your Own Adventure books as a kid? Well, our latest feature is basically a Choose Your Own Interview. We contact one player or coach each week, tell him to choose 10 numbers between 1 and 200, and then ask him the corresponding questions from our long list of 200 random questions. If the interviewee selects his numbers wisely, then it’s a piece of cake. But if he selects a question that’s more difficult and, perhaps, a bit embarrassing to answer … hey, unlucky, son.
Makes much more sense now.
There really isn’t anything else to talk about. It’s Fourth of July weekend (aka death of blog readership) so I won’t be back until Monday. Enjoy your break. Eat more than you should.

My god, you are so right. I have had the most unproductive weeks in my career. All I do surf DCU stuff. I read RSS through MS Outlook so when you posted the last one it imediately showed up. I got so freaking excited. Hmm…now what?

Some folks choose to shoot a gun into the air to show how excited they are to celebrate Independence Day. Sadly, some of them do so after the consumption of “adult beverages”. So please keep the
following data in mind if you contemplate such a display of patriotism or are anywhere near someone who might contemplate such a display of patriotism:1. A .30-caliber bullet will come out of the muzzle of a rifle traveling at about 2,700 feet per second.
2. The bullet will climb to an altitude of about two miles.
3. [This is important!] It WILL come back down to Earth and it will hit whatever it hits traveling at about 300 feet per second.
4. A bullet going 200 feet per second will penetrate your skull.
5. The entire round trip journey for that bullet will take about a minute.
Happy - - and SAFE - - Fourth of July!
