09:57 AM ET 08.13 | When their careers first intersected, Peter Nowak's as a coach and Freddy Adu as a player, the relationship wasn't always harmonious. Nowak was a first-year coach with D.C. United in 2004 and Adu was in his rookie Major League Soccer season after turning professional at age 14. "When I came into the league, I always thought Peter was on me all the time for whatever reason," Adu said, drawing laughter from the media. "I thought he was, but he was trying to make me better. I saw that when I went to Europe." Nowak said the two kept in touch over the years and he has seen a growth in Adu, who is still just 22 years old.

Adu didn't mature: he went from green to rotten.
(I kid. Hope the young man figures it out still.)

Joel Campbell to Buttsenal deal done for about 1M Euro. Gunner signings: 18-year-old midfielder, 19-year-old striker, 19-year-old defender.... The urgency to win is burning, burning I tell ya'.

It is the Spanish Super cup, so there will be two in quick succession. Morbo!
Let me get into the spirit of the Classico: May flesh-eating bacteria strike Pootie's member. That's what he deserves for admiring Casey Anthony.

Let it be said that my EPL fantasy team (at least those who I can remember) are off to a flying start. Goals by Suarez and Cahill (plus a CS for the Bolton Messiah, that's right, GED) should have me positioned nicely for a mid-table start.

Clearly, Team Fear the Choo were motivated by the classic green hoops shirt and inspired by the performance of their Scottish brothers who laid a 5-1 asswhipping on Dundee.

Yes, although call me homophobic if you like, the term "head to head" has never sat well with me... Perhaps we can refer to it as the 1 v. 1 league?

Wow, we got 22 entries in the Take Them All League (traditional format). We only have 13 in the H2H league. C'mon, join up. Scoring for the H2H format will not begin until Matchweek 2. After that, it's closed off for the season.
