Some Final Thoughts on the World Cup

I was going to try and dish up some profundities on the World Cup, the Zidane debacle, etc etc etc...then I went over to Opinion Journal, and Bernard-Henri Levy said it better than I ever could have.

On another note, it's gratifying to see sports journalists stick to their principles and support the greatest athletes, even if they're not exactly the most popular people. I'm talking about Zidane winning the Golden Ball, of course, but I could equally be talking about someone like JJ Redick, who, despised by the majority of NCAA fans, still won the Wooden and Naismith...

Oh and I'm still bitter Italy won. Allez les bleus.
