Soccer in the Lower German Leagues, a Target for Bribery
For a few sweet hours on Saturday, none of that mattered. SSV Ulm beat F.C. Eintracht Bamberg, 3-1. The Ulmers dominated the game and loved every minute of it.
Who cared that only 39 fans in Ulm’s black-and-white colors made the trip to Bamberg, a journey of [...]

Some NFL goodness this Wednesday…
What’s wrong with Jay Cutler & the Bears?
“At the end of the day, every single thing that’s going on with Chicago’s offense, and I haven’t even mentioned a running game that is probably also the worst in the NFL, everything is conspiring against Cutler. So now you’ve got a [...]
0-0 last week for 0.00 units which makes week 12 my 4th best of the season. Sad but true. Back to the usual posting schedule this week.
Stats of the Week
