A quick reminder that tonight at 9 EST you can catch "Once in a Lifetime: the Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos" on ESPN2.  According to wikipedia the Cosmos were:

"It was the dominant NASL franchise, both athletically and financially. The Cosmos gained even more attention and prestige for signing the great Brazilian player Pelé for the last three years of his career as a player. The NASL folded after the 1984 season, but the Cosmos attempted unsuccessfully to operate as an independent team for an additional year."

Please take 5 minutes to let your legislators know that you oppose Deleting Online Predators Act (DOPA). Like much legislation with a why would you oppose it type name, the bill is overreaching and censors legitimate speech.

Cutting off social networking's legitimate uses is bad enough, but DOPA also gives the FCC wide latitude to define the block-list. It potentially covers IM, blogs, wikis, discussion forums, and other sites far beyond MySpace. Despite its limited exceptions, DOPA will restrict children's and adults' online research, distance learning, and use of community forums, among other activities.

Last week, I moved this blog, email, and other sites including Soccer Blogs, to a newer, more powerful server. The database is mauve, which Sandy tells me is the best color for a database. You should notice its a lot peppier - about 100% peppier, than the old server which was beginning to show its age. Thanks to Patty, Ginger, and anyone else who found some migration bugs ("I can't find your Blog!") for me.\
