I kid you not -- a pair of rabbit ears. When is the last time anyone did that? I was about to send the Queen up on the roof with a roll of tin foil and a wire coat hanger.
Public Service Announcement for you kids, rabbit ears is an old antenna, I was not bending an actual animal in order to watch television. I don't do that until the playoffs.
Was walking in a small town up there in Marin wearing an old 1999 Mile High Club jersey, and a Rapids fan stopped me to talk a little footie. Loves the new stadium, wishes the on-field product in it were a little better the way his team is playing. Bet he's a little happier after the whuppin' they put on New Eng-er-land Thursday night. Plus, he makes the schlep down from Boulder to the games, so he gets to complain.
From the Yanks Abroad department, how about a tip of the cap to Marcus Hahnemann, who turned in a clean sheet over the weekend at a little place called Old Trafford to earn Reading a 0-0 season-opening draw with Manchester United. And the opposition didn't get much easier a few days later, as he had to face Chelsea on Wednesday and was beaten twice in a 2-1 loss.
Man United and then Chelsea in just a matter of days ... and I thought a long weekend with the in-laws was tough.
