		<description><![CDATA[I know; it still drags on for a few more days. What little interest I had evaporated when the U.S. team lost to Ghana. I watched about 15 minutes of that match, an experience that only confirmed my dislike of watching soccer in general and the World Cup in particular

		<description><![CDATA[The Lords of ESPN have apparently decided they don’t need many viewers this month. After regular showings of games from some British soccer league, they have decided that World Cup soccer is just what American sports fans are pining for this summer. Or maybe they’re not so sure &#8211; they’ve been inundating their viewers with <a class="read-the-rest" href="http://www.curmudgeons-progress.com/culture/espn-entertainment-and-soccer-programming-network/">Read the rest </a>]]></description>

Sports writers continue to give evidence of the wisdom of Knight’s choice. An article on the USA Today web site reminded me of the inability of many sports writers <a class="read-the-rest" href="http://www.curmudgeons-progress.com/culture/vocabulary-lesson-clinch-vs-win/">Read the rest </a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been a Cardinal fan since I first started listening to Harry Caray broadcast their games on radio.  Yes, Harry Caray &#8211; before he went to the Cubs, before he went to the White Sox, before he went to the Oakland A&#8217;s. Harry broadcast games for the Cardinals.
Actually I started out as a Yankee <a class="read-the-rest" href="http://www.curmudgeons-progress.com/sports/sports-its-the-cards-in-5-woohoo/">Read the rest </a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a statement worthy of the Supreme Court&#8217;s recent hair-splitting rulings, the NCAA announced a hare-brained policy that aims to keep member schools from &#8220;using racial/ethnic/national origin references&#8221;.
