I watched the big game on Sunday (that's the World Cup final for all you American readers) with co-blogger Frank and Ben Powell. We were in Cancun and the atmosphere among the locals was pretty exciting. I admit to having turned from being a big soccer hater to someone with a gruding respect for the game. But still wouldn't it be just as effective to use Roshambot to determine the winner instead of penalty kicks?

Also some stuff from God's sport (that's baseball for you goshderned feriners):

Brandon Dutcher points to a Moses bobblehead promotion that reminded me of the "Opening Day Genesis" and the hilarious "First Baseball Game" (I can find two bits of it here and here).

[I just received a worthy comment from Wilson Mixon: "Very interesting, but historically dubious. It would appear that baseball got lost somewhere along the way. Otherwise, why would Jesus have had to ask, "Where are the nine?" (Luke 17:17)"]
