Hey boys and girls, thought I’d toss an open thread out there for everyone who’s watching the game today. Feel free to rant, rave, yell, scream, and otherwise support the USMNT (or not, as warranted).

Ed. Note:  I need a breather, and I need to make something to eat. So I’m just going to be ultra lazy, and turn this into Last Call. For those of you who are just strolling in, feel free to raise a glass to the USMNT, or bemoan their performance – both are equally warranted in my opinion.  Last Call is open, come on in.

Ryan Miller - He's been the rock.

Okay, kids, here we go.  USA – Finland in the Men’s Hockey semi-final, with the potential gold medal rematch with Canada around the corner.  The game is on NBC right now, so let’s dissect it right here!  Pull up a stool.

Hey folks, thought I’d give you a repository for your sports derision for the day. And my trademark gratuitous chickie:

For you Olympics nuts, your current medal count:

• USA 4
• Canada 1
• Sorry, the UK hasn’t won any yet.

Carry on then!

So, I’m pulling out the dumb fun classics for all of the patrons to play. I’m sure FD didn’t want you to know this, but this is the actual online application to become a player for the Mets. All you have to do is hit the ball away from the gloves or into open gaps. You know, the things the actual Mets can’t do.

Have fun with this game, and hopefully it won’t let your bosses know that you aren’t working.

This is pretty much an amalgam of all of the dumb things we had to put up with in 2009. Go ahead and slap everyone from Carrie Prejean to TiWoo. I’ll get back into rhythm as I wind down from real life. Have a ball with these louses, gang.

I’m going to do something a bit different, patrons.  Today, I have these weird ideas in my head.  The main idea, though, is what I think are the top five insane sports around.  I don’t mean violence, either.  I mean, sports that you probably wonder about sometimes.  Let’s go to the youtube, gang!

5. Sepak takraw - This is what you get when you combine volleyball rules with footy rules, folks. There are no hands in this game, ever. This game is found across Asia, so you can imagine how fierce the competition does get.

There’s only very few people in sports history who become larger than an entire sport.  The people you know that make your sport complete.  This man is one of those few.
