Where can I find a clip or video of a soccer (or any sport) player flipping his shirt over his head?

August 15th, 2012 6 comments

In some international sports like soccer (or football in england), players celebrate a major goal or score by taking the bottom of their shirts and flipping it over their head (covering their face and exposing their stomach) and yelling GOAL!!! or something while running around and pointing upwards, I need to find a clip or video of such actions, will you please help me find a link?
I meant an actual link to such a video.

check out youtube.com-u can find just about anything on there.

Should I apply for Early Action compared to Regular Action?

August 8th, 2012 2 comments

I am a senior in high school and would really love to attend the University of Notre Dame. I plan on applying there, but I don’t know whether to apply for Early Action or Regular Decision. The main reason is because I am taking the SATs again on October 1st and want to get my score as high as possible. My first SAT was in January, and my was a 1750 (630- Math, 550- Reading, 570 Writing). That’s not bad but on CollegeBoard its says that the average Notre Dame students scores a mid-600. The SAT scores won’t be released before November 1st either, which is the deadline for Early Action. I am in the top 5% of my class, taken almost all Honors/AP classes, a varsity football player, sports editor for the school newspaper, hold a part-time job, and over 60 hours of community service. So basically my question is should I apply for Early Action or wait for my SAT scores from October, which will most likely be a little higher, and apply for Regular Decision?

SAT scores take about 3 weeks to get, so if you’re taking the October 1st SAT you should get your scores before Nov 1. If the colleges you are applying to have early action, I would definitely recommend doing that. You are not binded plus it shows that you have a great interest in attending.

Has anyone had worse luck than this in fantasy sports?

Hello. I’m in a 12-team head-to-head league this year, and I feel I’m having one of the unluckiest seasons imaginable. Just look at all the details in the screenshot below, which highlights Week 13 action. Yes, that’s me, El Kapitan, about to lose yet again this week to go 4-9.

Anybody had worse luck in fantasy sports?

The problem here is that, going into this week, I had the 4th most points overall in my 12 team league, yet was sitting at 4-8, in 10th place. I can handle having a bad team. I can’t handle having a great team, but being plagued by unlucky matchups where I’m pitted against the highest scoring person each week. To top it off in week 13, I lose by 1. Argh!
@ Joe – It definitely works both ways in a H2H league! I hope you have continued luck through the playoffs.

I’m in a 14 team PPR head to head league, and i’m in 6th points wise, but 1st in my division ). My points are 1315 to 1281(my points and record will change Tuesday, but I’m not gonna do the math), I’m having the opposite luck you are having, but there is someone in my league who has the most points by over 100 points, who is 5-7, and in 8th overall, his score to score is, 1467 to 1456!! Sometimes you hate to be in a H2H league, but not me this year. LMAO!!! Here’s my league. (I’m Pack Attack Again87). http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/507426

What do think about a massive football game played on a battlefield ?

June 23rd, 2012 3 comments

There was a cool commerical during the Philly / Minnesota game. It looked like football players running on an oversize football field. It got me thinking about a "football war game".

A lot of sports have a mini-version like 3 on 3 basketball. Well, how about going in other direction. Super size it!

What do you think about having a humongous football game on, say an old Civil War battlefield? Make it 500 on 500 players. Blue and gray. Pound some drums. Fill the field with smoke. Sh*t your pants! Have the endzones be a mile away from each other. Nonstop chaos; total mayhem. Running, jumping, handoffs, trick plays, passes, hits, tackles, the usual… only on a titanic scale.

Maybe there would be 50 footballs with separate battles going on.

When a tackle is made, the ball carrier and the tackler are considered "dead" and have to leave the battlefield until there’s a score kinda like in paintball.

Naturally, there would have to be all kinds of rules to make it work.

Run 50 cameras to try and get all the action on film.

Make it open to anybody with enough nuggets to suit up.

What do you think? Call it the Civil War Bowl.

wow dude, pretty good idea.
never would happen
but a good idea nonetheless
