Words to warm a woman's heart

I heard Rod Stewart's 1977 song You're in My Heart today, which of course is often played on the airwaves. It's a tribute to a woman who is "beauty and elegance," but also, "a rhapsody, a comedy" and "every love song ever written."  But the real compliment is when Stewart says (at 3:00 of the song) "You're Celtic, United, but baby I've decided you're the best team I've ever seen."  What woman would not be charmed by that?

Stewart is a big soccer fan who used to kick balls from the stage into the crowd at concerts and my firm was once involved in a case where a fan was injured by a ball at one of his concerts at the Spectrum in Philadelphia.  His two favorite teams are Manchester United and Glasgow Celtic.

Following the lead of The New England Revolution, D.C. United is planning a 20,000 seat stadium within the City.  The New York Times reported today that the MLS team hopes to split the $3 million cost with the City and build at Buzzard Point on the Anacostia River, within a mile of the Capitol and the National Mall and a few blocks from the Washington Nationals' baseball stadium.  Later in the day the City Council approved the plan, which calls for the City to split the cost with United.

D.C. Mayor  Vincent G. Grey predicted that the project, which is to include development of three adjacent acres, would create $1.6 billion in economic opportunity, including 1,000 full-time jobs. 

United finished first in the Eastern Conference in the season just ended with a record of 17-9-8 but lost in the conference finals to New York Red Bulls.

Yale tops UNC in shootout (not really)

This is a pretty funny video of a PK shootout in the men's College Cup final between the inept penalty kickers of Yale and the even more inept shooters from UNC.  It seems that after a perfect first shot the Bulldogs can't find the back of the net while the TarHeels have a knack of finding Yale's heroic goalie, Scott Sterling.  The clip was produced by Studio C, the comedy show on BYUtv.
