Alexi Lalas and his "superior intellect"...

I don't think ESPN soccer commentator Alexi Lalas is very in tune with satire and may not be the brightest crayon in the box overall.

He made his third guest appearance on The Colbert Report last night, to defend the sport of soccer in the face of recent news that hundreds of games all over the world may have been fixed. Colbert preceded the interview by poking fun at the sport, its over-dramatic actors, I mean, players, and its seemingly constant adrenaline-pumping 1-0 matches.

The interview went fairly well for approximately the first two minutes. However, in the final minute is where Lalas seemed to get irritated.

He said, "I pity you (Colbert), because you don't understand the beautiful game of soccer..."

He also had this to say - "It takes a superior intellect to understand the beauty of the game..."

Then shortly after the show, I'm assuming the soccer commentator heard from someone that he shouldn't have taken Colbert too seriously, because Lalas then tweeted, "Wait, Stephen Colbert is just a character?"

Ah, yes... ...as you were saying about superior intellect?

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
