U-S-A, U-S-what?...to Greece? In basketball? Really?

Anyone who follows this blog knows that 2006 has provided the best summer ever for your heros at 7502. Fortunately for our masochistic-Seattle-sports-fan selves this summer included:

• The US Men's soccer team forgetting that we use our hands in sports in America
• Frequent displays of incompetence by Mariners players, coaches, and fans (Seth)
• The Sonics got sold to a bunch of Okies who want to move the team to BFE
• Floyd Landis's amazing steroid-powered comeback in the Tour de France--unfortunately he got caught
• The Storm were eliminated in the first round of the WNBA playoffs
• Every American track star from the Olympics was caught doping
• The Seattle Sounders are on the verge of not making the A-League playoffs

Note: Upon further review I don't actually care about those last 4 items at all

• Mr. Anthony, Mr. James, Mr. Anthony, and Coach K just got knocked out of the Basketball World Championships by the basketball powerhouse that is Greece

Is anything being done to make sure the rest of the world doesn't start playing football? Seriously, we're going to need to start inventing new sports to win.
