Is it possible to hate both the Olympics and soccer, without being a terrorist or communist?

Because I can't stand either.

To each their own. My opinion is as long as you give respect to those who do love the Olympics and soccer, you can be respected for not liking those things.

I'm softening my stance on soccer. I actually watched the whole game yesterday and liked it.

I really didn't mean any disrespect to y'all with my "flopping" comment. I just saw several replays where the guys went down after being bumped. The guys would get up, stare down the ref and throw up their hands.

There were also some serious hits in the game.

Again, no disrespect.

Just say for a minute, a man had an opportunity to move to Knoxville area in April/May. What would be the best school for his son who is a kicker?

I know Maryville. What else you got?

Didn't the DC at CAK coach TEs and special teams at UT?

I would research the schools/coaches that use kickers the most. Some high school coaches just don't trust kickers and rarely use them.

Farragut had a really good kicker a couple years ago. He ended up on scholarship at Tn Tech. CAK has a good history of kids getting football scholarships.

Talk to coaches before you make a move.

It's all good. I just think its an overemphasized point by those who WANT to find fault with the sport. I am the first to say I HATE flopping, diving, and play acting. It was never a part of the game I played and I never knew it really existed until I began following the professional leagues. I'm not really sure how you get rid of flopping and play acting because how do you tell someone, "you're not really injured" because sometimes you don't know. So I've learned to look past that part of the game as an annoying inevitability.

Anyone know the general timeline on a hamstring strain? I guess Jozy is getting a scan tomorrow so it could still be a tear, but they are calling it a strain right now.

I "popped" my hamstring several years ago playing on a softball touring team. You could literally hear it. If this is what happened to Altidore, he's done for the World Cup. I was out of action for a month and couldn't really run at full speed for 6 to 8 weeks.

This is true. I reread some of my posts and I came across very jerk-like. I apologize.

Flopping is just one fault. Soccer is a snoozer!

Several moving parts here. My wife and I are very excited, Jr not so much.

Tell him he will get to go to a lot of UT games being that close. Maybe he already does. Moving is always hard on everyone, but I would go back to Knoxville in a heartbeat, if the opportunity ever presented itself.

Btw, check out the Brazil-Mexico game at 3 PM (ET). The Mexican players like to roll around like they got shot when they are fouled, but it'll probably rain goals in the game.
