The midfield is made up of same player styles. They do not have a quarterback who can distribute, all are big players with little speed and below average defence. A-Rod is a bright spot as is Heath. They have little chance of a medel- They need to go with youth....speed.....and a controling midfield... Wow, the USWNT defence cannot man-mark anybody. The midfield is made up of same player styles.

Currently I'm watching the Men's 150 mile bike race with no breaks, no commercials and no commentary. Just the whatever audio the mics can pick up, which on occasion includes overhead helicopters, cheering fans, bugs chirping and even the whirring of the bikes themselves. And the video quality? My goodness it is really top notch and it's an utter travesty to lock people out like they have. Oh and NBC felt it was alright to slather the entire site in Doubleclick.net ads. Glad to have various addons that strip those nasty things away. Because 90% of the suckers out there use XP and IE6 or 7. ;)

You and I are both awake right now. And not only from source, but from svn? Why does NBC do this? Good Lord. You and I are both awake right now. And not only from source, but from svn? Why does NBC do this?

If you're on Linux it looks like there's a program out there in an alpha state that should allow for Silverlight to be used: http://www.mono-project.com/Moonlight You will have to build the package from source, and I don't know if it'll even work for the NBC site.
