A) Americans will never like soccer, unless it becomes less boring.

B) People downloading films putting the film industry out of business is laughable. If movies are worth watching, people are going to go to the movies (see: movies still setting records for opening weekends)

C) Apple is going to have to lower prices no doubt, I just wish it would've happened about 2 months ago

QOTD: 6...maybe 7

Links: That babysitter video is classic...

QOTD: Being a Jets fan and only 23, so basically only experiencing the rough years, I couldn't be happier with this move. It's a no brainer!! I was saying it from the second speculation of Favre getting traded began. I'm gonna say 10-6... The team really underperformed last year and they've rebuilt the line on both sides of the ball... And Cotchery and Coles is one of the most underrated 2-punch at wide receiver in the entire NFL. I hope Favre puts them on the map.

QOTD: 6-7, Is there a chance that when the Jets play the Pats one Favres many, many errant passes beans Brady in the eye?

If americans can watch nap time favorites like baseball & golf they can watch soccer.

I call bull**** on the piracy article. Piracy has always existed. It won't not exist.

It's on the film industry anyway to make going to the movies a better option than downloading movies.

Explain baseball then.

Soccer is waaay more entertaining than baseball.

Baseball, like all good American sports, has breaks.

So you'd rather spend 4 hours on a baseball game that stops all the time (commercials and what not) than a soccer game that has 90 minutes of action and no commercials except during the half?

Seems ridiculous to me. I could watch two soccer games in the span of one baseball, football, or basketball game.
