I had a great fourth, headed out to the lake cabin and enjoyed 75 degree perfection, sat out at the end of the dock, swam in the lake, read a good book, barbequed NY steak for dinner, wow was awesome!!
Hawk I know you can't help yourself with Avenger spoilers, you would probably watch screen shots of them setting up the outhouses on the Avengers set, lol. I am going to try and stay away from most of the Avengers stuff except for the teaser trailer outside of that I think I will not watch any of the later trailers since I am going no matter what. Really do hope they have a teaser from comic-con.
It is interesting that so many people become soccer fans when America does fairly well in the world cup, maybe it is patriotic fever or something, but I am not one of them. Never played the game as a kid, played football, baseball and basketball until HS then football and basketball in HS. So never grew up loving or watching the game. My three best friends all played youth soccer and still love the game although they all played HS basketball or football and not soccer. They always try to get me excited about the World Cup but generally I cannot watch a game longer than a few minutes. Don't mind watching the highlights of goals scored or great saves, but I have never in my life watched an entire soccer match. I get that it is the most popular sport in the rest of the world, but it is what the sixth or seventh most popular sport in America. Golf gets better ratings than professional soccer in America, outside of the World Cup if America is doing well. I did find it funny that some of the soccer commentators were saying American soccer is gaining more respect around the world and that cracks me up. The average American could care less if the world respects us in soccer. I am sure in Europe, South America, and many other places young athletes grow up dreaming about being soccer players but in America the best athletes dream of playing in the NFL, NBA or MLB roughly in that order. The majority of America's best athletes play in the those three major sports so American soccer is hardly getting our best athletes to play the sport. I am not saying that there are not other great athletes in America playing other sports in America there most certainly are, but it is clear that our very best go where the big money is. It also seems like every time America does better in the World Cup or Olympics that it is the dawn of Soccer becoming one of the major sports in America and time and time again that is never the case. However there are fans in America who are incredibly passionate about soccer and more power to them. I just have never found it to my liking.
Since I read most of the Avenger comics, IM and Hulk I am getting a does of Original Sin and Rogue I agree I don't like this change were now Tony is responsible for Bruce becoming the Hulk, what a bunch of crap. There are some guys at Marvel that consistently want to make him an *******. Whether it is this or the time thing that is going on now, where again Tony is responsible, or the Illuminati, Tony becomes the bad guy, please, lol.
