1985
If you played sports in the mid 80's, this movie was one of your favorites.
Vision Quest
written by Darryl Ponicsan, based on the novel by Terry Davis
Louden (Matthew Modine): I was at the hotel, they told me you took the night off. Thought you were sick or something.
Elmo (J.C. Quinn): Of course I took the night off, dummy, isn't this the night you wrestle Shute?
Louden: You took the night off for that?
Elmo: Yeah, shaved, got a haircut and everything.
Louden: You never took the night off to see me wrestle before, they'll dock you for that.
Elmo: Hey kid, money ain't everything.
Louden: It's not that big a deal, I mean it's six lousy minutes on the mat. If that.
Elmo: Ever hear of Pelé?
Louden: Yeah, he's a soccer player.
Elmo: A very famous soccer player. I was in the room here one day. I'm watching the Mexican channel on TV. I don’t know nothing about Pelé. I'm watching what this guy can do with a ball and his feet. The next thing I know he jumps up in the air and flips into a somersault and kicks the ball in, upside down and backwards. I mean, the goddamn goalie never knew what the fuck hit him. And Pelé gets excited and he rips off his jersey and starts running around the stadium waving it around over his head. Everybody's screaming in Spanish. I'm here, sitting alone in my room. I start crying, yeah that's right, I start crying. There's another human being, a species which I happen to belong to, can kick a ball, and LIFT himself and the rest of us sad-ass human beings up to a better place to be, if only for a minute. Let me tell you kid, it was pretty goddamn glorious.It ain't the six minutes... it's what happens in that six minutes.

Don't want to Jinx it and I Ain't Superstitous
Well, I ain't superstitious, black cat just cross my trail
Well, I ain't superstitious, oh the black cat just cross my trail
Don't sweep me with no broom, I might get put in jail

August 15 is almost here
Before the pigskin is set on the tee and before the calls of "Mr. October" arise, the English Premier League will kick off on August 15. West Ham has no proven offense, but that doesn't squelch my optimism (yet). I have started a free EPL fantasy over at the official EPL site. It is free to join. The league information is as follows:
Login: 453310-142278
Please join if you have any interest at all. I will put up a prize for the overall champ and probably a weekly prize for anyone that beats me in the weekly head-to-head matchup.
Up the Irons!
