Backdoor Cuts - 07/14/06
July 14th, 2006

• I feel like Virgil Sollozzo when he found out that Don Corleone survived the hit. It’s bad news for me. The fucking horse, as Barbaro will heretofore be known, is still alive and kicking. He’s suffereing from laminitis, which the doctor describes as an “exquisitely painful” condition. It could still go south at any moment. Whenever the fucking horse decides he doesn’t want to stand on the bad leg anymore, he’s getting the axe. And it might make me a bad person, but… I’m still rooting for it. I just don’t believe that the horse isn’t suffering, and it seems like even the best-case scenario has the horse still fucked-up for quite sometime. I don’t believe these efforts are motivated by anything other than million-dollar horse semen. Kill it.

• If you’re not American, or even if you’re just bilingual, the Toronto Raptors might be interested in signing you. In fact, they just signed The Swedish Chef.

Bruce Arena is out as USA Soccer Coach. No need to run him into the ground any further, in fact, I think it would be more appropriate to thank him for everything he’s done for USA Soccer. Yeah, we were disappointing in the World Cup, but if you were to give Arena a grade on the job he did, and the marking period came before the World Cup, there’s no way it’s anything other than an A. USA Soccer, as a whole, made great strides under Arena. Maybe it’s time for some new blood to take it to the next level, but let’s make sure Arena gets his gold watch on the way out.

• Danks of themightymjd.com podcast fame, has started his own little blog, and then promptly taken a vacation from it. Danks’s interests include soccer, college sports, New England sports, Big East football, and the Chippendale’s calendar. He’s got a few posts up there now, so give it a look if you get a chance today. And, speaking of the podcast, we should get that going again sometime next week. I’ll keep you posted.

    Regarding Barbaro, it’s been said he can’t be used to breed anyway, due to his leg, so I doubt that’s a factor. However, Sports Central posted a story calling Barbaro “an attention whore” and got flooded with hate mail from a largely-female contingent of Barbaro supporters: http://www.sports-central.org/sports/2006/07/12/barbaro_craves_the_spotlight.php

    Sigh. The feedback is entertaining, though. Some people have no sense of humor, it’s pathetic. The best thing received? Someone wishing the writer would get run over by a semi. And that’s a quote!

    I made a sarcastic post on Deadspin about Barbaro, and had a pastor e-mail me and tell me to go to hell. True story…
