Germany hasn't been producing star quality players like they used to in the past. Guys like Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Lothar Matthäus, Klinsmann who could turn it up a notch when they needed it.
Don't count them out, though. They probably won't win, but they will find a way to be respectable. |

Kirby Puckett sadly passed away at the young age of 44. He was one of the greats whose career was cut short by glaucoma and now dead from a stroke. The '91 World Series is one of the classics of all time. He will be missed.
Even though I was never a Twins fan, RIP Kirby. |

The political creed is: do what you can get away with, only if it contributes to your personal gain.
So I would say no taboos were broken. |

| What a joke. Like I said, they're all the same. Plus, the other guy who was elected as a liberal and changed sides, all out for themselves. Don't give a damn about anything but themselves. |

That's why golf is not a sport. |

VicVega VicVega: Well curling, darts, and pool are considered sports, and generally you do them drunk. I think if it appears on TSN or ESPN it's fair to call it a sport.
So is golf. |

As far as I can tell most are good and some are very good. |
