12:50 AM UCLA hoops? Don't ask.

8:35 PM Jerry Jones is my Sensory overlord.

8:02 PM Joan Hellyer of the Bucks County Courier Times somehow reports with a straight face, "A Harry S Truman High School senior was found not guilty of disorderly conduct Monday in connection with his run across the school football field while dressed up as a cow during a game timeout."

7:49 PM Gerald Cosley of CSTB notes irony of NBA banning former Sacto Kings scout for gamblin, as gambling money funding the team. And: "If there's really zero tolerance for wagering in the NBA, when do the Bobcats announce they're disassociating themselves from Michael Jordan?"

England Out of 2008 Euro Cup With Loss to Croatia

Posted by jason on Nov. 21, 2007, 6:50pm

BLIMEY! CROATIA KICKS ENGLAND OUT OF 2008 EURO CUP: Despite the best efforts of Israel and airport security, England has done the remarkable and failed to qualify for the Euro 2008 Cup.

The hopes of the English nation that had risen with the Israelis’ dramatic upset of Russia last Saturday, came crashing down on Thursday with a 3-2 home loss to Croatia.The English only had to manage at least a tie with Croatia in order to qualify for next year’s European Championship.

Instead, the team will miss out on their first major soccer tournament since the 1994 World Cup. And England coach Steve McClaren will likely be sent permanently off the pitch.
