I Am The Illegitimate Son of Diego Maradona

...now that I have your attention, what a weekend that was! Stateside we had the Super Bowl, or as the English like to call it, Ye Supre Bouwl. The game was mostly notable for the bad showing by Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who, by the way can out-WAG any footballer I've yet come across.

Over in the Premier League we had some interesting matchups. Spurs nearly pulled off a dream win against ManU before they Paul Robinsoned themselves. Liverpool finally found a strike pairing that worked, primarily because it didn't include Dirk Kuyt or Andriy Voronin. Chelsea was the first victim of years of pent-up Jermain Defoe frustration. They won't be the last.

I promise that Blue and I will have some cracking new content this week, including a feature on All-Continent teams, some analysis of football economics, and late-to-the-party coverage of the ACN and Lomegate (better known as the African Playe of the Year Award.)

Until then, I leave you with this:
