Before this afternoon's Champions League semi-final between Barcelona and Chelsea (in Barcelona), I was eager to see the tactical and physical consequences of two of the best teams in the world--both in form, comprised of contrasting squads in terms of size and skill, used to playing in two very very different leagues--smashing against each other for 90 minutes.Considering a CL system that awards

Clint Dempsey had two crucial goals for Fulham in a win at Manchester City yesterday. Fulham are now in 8th place in the prem. Good for them.Dig it:

Here's something that continues a couple mainline JJ themes. A ridiculously good remix that I would argue is better than the original (see this and this) plus a version of Lady Gaga's Poker Face.It's called "Poke Her Face" (ha.) and was put together by Kanye and some friends, namely Kid Cudi, Common, 'Ye, and A-Trak. Enjoy.

Hey JJers, this might be entirely masturbatory, but I thought I'd put up a quick link to my thesis, just in case people want to read it.So here: Title page. Real deal Holyfield.

*Every* Friday, we're highlighting a specific video (or two, or three) for your end of week enjoyment.My apologies for making you listen to John Harkes, even for less than two minutes--but it's worth it to see Jozy Altidore's hat trick this past Wednesday in the USMNT's World Cup qualifier against Trinidad and Tobago.Not sure if he is the savior of American soccer, but he's 19, and probably our

Certainly, because it speaks ill of ESPN's commitment to the beautiful game.ESPN owns the rights to the next two World Cups and did a great job televising last summer's Euro Cup. They also supposedly bid a large sum to televise English

Landon Donovan is back from his brief loan spell at German league giants Bayern Munich. He goes from playing with Franck Ribery, Luca Toni, Miroslav Klose, Bastian Schweinsteiger, and other world class players (Lucio's my boy, and don't forget Podolski) to playing with Stefani Miglioranzi, Chris Klein, and Dema Kovalenko (Becks isn't back until later in the summer) and other MLS mainstays.Well.

One of the most frustrating players on Arsenal because he can score goals like these......with real aplomb. Super control, surprising speed and balance, and poised finishing.Yet since his horrific ankle break/dislocation in May 2006, he has failed to stay fit for any length of time; and in the time he has been fit, he hasn't played with the kind of consistency that would make him one of the best

THIS IS NEWS?I understand that we know care about what celebrities do..who they're dating, where they eat, what club they go to (JJ staffer ederms did a bit of paparazzi-ing on his most recent jaunt to LA) and the like, but we care about THIS?I'm amazed. Either it was a slow news day or ....well, I don't know what other excuse there can be.

So, Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" is good...but this is the best one ever.Yeah, it's in Japanese, and yeah, it's jpop, but the only thing you need to know is that Hamasaki Ayumi is actually kind of talented (she does all of her own arrangements and writes her lyrics). The song boils down to one lyric--"It could all be so simple: I want your love"-----Nothing changes.And on that note, I need to study

In fact, I may be the only person to admit it. It's a lousy song.But, I also have to say that her song "Poker Face" is amazing.The chorus' key is just amazing, and the "My po-po-po-po-po-poker face" bit is so good. If I could

Hey JJers. Isn't Arsene great?Aaaaanyhoo. Here's a mix of goofy songs, mostly hip-hop, whose humor derives either from a ridiculous concept, overt flamboyance, or just straight goofiness. About three of them came up consecutively on my party shuffle, and I just decided to extend it into an all out mix. There are some songs with naughty words, so it's not all sfw.

Last night, I was watching Kanye West's "Storytellers" on VH1. Not only did it make me want to listen to "808s and Heartbreak", but it made me want to examine Kanye's songs that are criminally underrated.By underrated, I mean, essentially, that the song wasn't a single and gets neglected when Kanye's canon is being spoken of. This was mostly motivated by the fact that 'Ye didn't perform "

I'm just going to come out and confess it (ha, like those ridiculously ubiquitous Proactive commercials that start with Jennifer Love Hewitt confessing her "love affair" with acne cream):I really like the Facebook 25 things phenomenon.

Yup. Adele won best new artist or sumtin last night at the Gramsauce so it just shows my knack for falling in love with party shuffle songs that catch my attention mid-studying.
