Professional soccer star Fabrice Muamba suffers a heart attack on the field. Slideshow in the linked article shows his rivals wearing shirts supporting his recovery. Very nice, shows that these guys know what's important and where rivalries end.

Also, Muamba survived 78 minutes without a consistent heartbeat. Amazing what people can survive.

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)

Meanwhile, the New Orleans Saints put bounties out on opposing players, offering prize money to the person who can hurt another player the worst... I think they call it "American exceptionalism."

Even though I achieved a 93-3 record record in Wrestling in my High School Wrestling career, the only photo in my almamader is my "Sportsmanship" trophy.

Not that it's the same, but when I moved on finally from the HS wrestling cult, my coach practically begged me to come back to wrestle after I told hime I wouldn't cut another 9 lbs.

He wouldn't have asked me otherwise, I'm sure, but he had nobody at the higher weight.

I relented, and so I wresteled, fat, at 135, a weight almost 10 lbs higher than I ever wrestled in my 4 year carreer and suffered my only pin in my life.

Thanks coach...

6StringJack....

46 Pins...

15 Technical Falls...

32 Decision wins....

2 embarrassing losses in the first year due to "locked hands" and not knowing the rules and breaking them

1 loss, a hard core pin, wrestling against a guy 2 weight classes above mine to appease the coaches, the last match I ever had....

I still shook his hand.....

Some of the sissy babies on my team who wresteled since they were 4 years old and they were embarrassed in front of their dad-coaches threw chairs and made bitches of themselves

I just went home with my GF and we dry humped for 3 hours in my car because we were still virgins.

Hope She's doing well now :)
