Carlito’s Link Dump (02/15/2008)
Yes, into everyone’s life, a little rain must fall — and if you live in North Carolina these days, the rain is not nearly as annoying as it used to be. Rain has become a symbol of hope for those yuppies in Cary who are terrified that their lawn won’t be nearly as green as their neighbors.
Meanwhile, our man Carlito stands there and wishes he could give the rain falling on him to North Carolina — or anyone else, for that matter. It’s all just a matter of perspective, really, and hopefully some of these stories from the last week or so will provide some extra perspective into your own football experience.

It’s an FA Cup weekend in England. Show of hands: who’s paying $16 to watch Man U v. Arsenal? Not me. I’m going to take a good look at Super 14’s opening weekend and see if these new rules really do make rugby union more fun to watch. I’ll report my discoveries on Monday. Oh, and the Champions League knockout stage begins next Tuesday. Expect a lot of coverage of that on FanHouse.
Enjoy your football, everyone!

*raises hand* Though it’s only $10 out here in the flyovers. I was only going to spend that on rent, so no loss.
And if I hadn’t dragged my ass out to the bar, I wouldn’t have seen the Liverpool-Barnsley result while I ate breakfast. I win at life.
