Random Sports Roundup

Just from weekends spent in front of the tube, it seems to me that kicking is becoming a bit of a lost art in football. Heck, missed field goals are pratically a tradition in some parts of the country. Looks like the kicker drought is trickling down to the high school level, as half the teams in the Alameda-Contra Costa Athletic League are carrying female kickers. At that level it's probably more about the technique than pure leg strength anyway.

Talk about girls kicking balls, the Women's NCAA Soccer Tournament starts this week. Kind of a bummer that Stanford has to play Santa Clara in the very first round, and potentially run into Portland in the round-of-16. Just another case of the Western region getting screwed in tournament seeding.

Not that I care all that much about tournament seedings, unlike some other folks. I mean, I love Bracketology as much as anybody, but isn't picking a tournament bracket before the season even starts a little premature?

The Rangers are going to need another attraction at the ballpark if they decide to trade away Alex Rodriguez. How about a visit to the George W. Bush Presidential Library? Make your own joke, it's so easy.
