The Czech's were likely the most exciting team in Euro 2004, and should've won it all. Yesterday they put in a totally dull effort, albeit a winning one and a controversial one thanks to a couple non-calls that might've put the Swiss on the penalty spot...Portugal looked fantastic in the second half particularly yesterday, and I'm not just referring to their propensity to find the grass over every stiff breeze...the Euro account - based on a $100 wager per game on the money line - sits at +$261 after a 2-0 open. For today, Pinnacle's odds are up and I'm favoring Croatia at -108 (a lock, folks) and Germany at -210. Loving both those picks, though Germany having that mental midget Jens Lehmann in goal is cause for concern...so the Jays are in the thick of the AL East race, pitching their tails off, you've got a hot night, the lid open, no other pro team playing in town and only 23,649 show up? Is baseball dead in Toronto, or just waiting for the bandwagon set? Either way, a shame. Speaking of few fans, did you catch A.J. Bust-ett's act Saturday? After getting booed coming off the mound, Burnett mockingly tipped his hat and when asked about the fans reaction, he said "we have fans?"...Toronto FC travel to Houston to face the defending MLS Champions, who are struggling mightily this year. Will be a tough test regardless. Coverage is on The Score at 8:30...a visit to Chris Chelios' Detroit restaurant was enough to leave a dent in it. At least no staff were killed...Big Brown went dropped a big brown in the bed and finished 9th of 9 at Belmont. Good night...Johnny Damon had a 6 for 6 day yesterday, including a walk off hit to lead the Yanks to a win. 6 for 6 is damn impressive. Is there a Yankee position player earning his money more than J.D.?...Roger Federer takes on Rafael Nadal in the French Open final this morning. Considering his resume, Federer is a shockingly large underdog. Then again, Nadal has been invincible in Paris thus far...memo to Matt Hughes: find another line of work...have a great Sunday.

i'd venture to say the czechs were the worst team on the day -- even worse than turkey. wow.
had no idea AJ did that. what a putz. making millions for his lifetime .500 record and he thinks he's earned the right to say that shit?
JP's probably having words with him today.
so you made that part up!?
Off-topic, but am I the only one who thinks the NBA's newest split-screen "There Can Only Be One" commercial with Magic and Larry just doesn't work, and may in fact be a little creepy?
I feel sorry for Swiss and Frei. Too bad about his injury. Even with a win against Turkey it will be difficult for them to go through and they might need points from Portugal to make it now.
Also confirmed that Pogrebnjak will miss the whole tournament. I had Russia as a serious outsider before that but hopefully they can still go through (on behalf of the Swedes of course...)
Nope, the Burnett thing happened. Here's an article on the tip of the hat bit (as is that picture). I heard the "we have fans?" comment on SportsNet Connected.

Total dick move from a rank amateur. How he's worked alongside Halladay and not learned a thing is beyond me.
yeah i read a couple burnett articles and he basically apologized all around. so i didn't see the "what fans?" thing and thought maybe you just added it for colour!
Bk, those commercials were wrong from the start and always a little creepy..same with the NBA where Amazing happens.
Czechs were terrible and looked depleted with all those injuries. They won't go too far.
As pathetic as the Burnett thing came off cause he's always on the DL...must admit it's pretty funny.
fed-ex is getting derailed!
totally agree with Mr.Kennedy about the Magic/Bird pic...damn creepy if you ask me
regarding Big Brown....my girlfriend is a horse fanatic ( grew up on a farm and has trained horses all her life )and she mentioned to me before the race even began that BB didn't look right...i'm wondering if the fact that the horse ran without steroids had something to do with it ;)
The Leaves finally got their coach, and to tb's chagrin (or better, empathy with him?), it's Ron Wilson:

AJ could very well be the weakest link of our rotation. Hope he walks...
