big football day

Today's Champions League Final between Chelsea and Manchester United brings back horrible memories of Super Bowl XXXIX.

That nightmarish match up featured another two teams I completely loathe, the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles.

After much back and forth I decided to go with the Pats because I experience far too much joy giving Eagles fan a hard time due to their lack of a Vince Lombardi trophy.

It looks like I am going to go with the same logic this time around. Arsenal doesn't have a Champions League Trophy. I don't want Chelsea leapfrogging the Gooners in terms of European glory in Moscow tonight (this afternoon here in the good old US of A).

Man United 1 Chelsea 0

And if rooting for a meteor to hit Moscow tonight wasn't enough....we have United at 7:30.

So the good news is that DC scored on the road last Saturday night.

The bad news is that it was still another road loss.

Worse news: It is Karaoke night at Kilroy's and Duffman is showing up.

Bold Prediction of the Day: A win tonight and they turn things around. A loss and the season is over except for the killer tailgates.

United 2 Toronto FC 1 - United escapes the 51st state with another win thanks to two own goals.

Parkway Update: I didn't hit every light this morning on the way into work. Success is mine!
