The New England Revolution won 3-2 over Sporting KC. Guess who assisted on the Revs first goal? Come on, guess! Please? Yeah, it was David Beckham. Very funny, guy. Actually, Benny “No Nickname” Feilhaber played in Marko Perovic to give the Revolution an early lead. For more on this story, and reason #1 that “Contributor Networks” are stupid, please see the Yahoo article on Barry Feilhaber’s influence on the New England team.

I must say the officiating this year has been so sporatic, unregulated, haphazard, with no consistency whatsoever. I realize some refs will card more often than others because they are on an ego trip, but Davies should have been redded for the mere promotional attempt of entering a car. If that’s not excessive celebration, I don’t know what is. And then someone goes and high fives a fan, guess that’s up there with TO pulling out a sharpie to sign the touchdown ball…
Re: “Philly better than Reading.” Without a doubt, we have a much richer urban culture – Reading isn’t even officially a city but both a town and something called a unitary authority. It is something of a university town and it does have that cool music festival. And, did you know, Philly and Reading both have a Broad Street? But I definitely think Philly is better. What?
Well played, Farnsworth.
The letters to The Fiver have taught me everything I know.
