Il bounty program degli Hogs Reggio Emilia
Tratto dalla brillante Ultrafootball, fanzine che esce da... 29 anni. Vi
lascio al testo relativo al... bounty program degli Hogs Reggio Emilia,
giusto per far capire quanto sia esilarante il contenuto. L'autore è
Maurizio Zanni, che ha giocato a football una... vita, fino a pochi mesi
fa. Tanto per inquadrare il personaggio: un giorno volle fare uno
sconto di 50 lire sul prezzo di Ultrafootball, ma dal momento che la
rivista è gratis unica maniera era quella di... allegare ad ogni copia,
fermata con il nastro adesivo, una monetina. Detto tutto.

Comunicato della BCS
Arrivato adesso. Son troppo bollito per tradurlo, però.
Statement by the Eleven Conference Commissioners and the Notre Dame Athletics Director
“As part of our deliberations, we have carefully considered a number of concepts concerning the post-season structure for the BCS. From the start, we set out to protect college football’s unique regular season which we see as the best regular season in sports. We are also mindful of the bowl tradition and seek to create a structure that continues to reward student-athletes with meaningful bowl appearances.
“Having carefully reviewed calendars and schedules, we believe that either an 8-team or a 16-team playoff would diminish the regular season and harm the bowls. College football’s regular season is too important to diminish and we do not believe it’s in the best interest of student-athletes, fans, or alumni to harm the regular season.
“Accordingly, as we proceed to review our options for improving the post-season, we have taken off the table both an 8-team and a 16-team playoff.
“We will continue to meet and review the exact structure for what a new post-season could look like. We are making substantial progress. We will present to our conferences a very small number of four-team options, each of which could be carried out in a number of ways.
“We have discussed in detail the advantages and disadvantages of in-bowl or out-of-bowl games.
We have discussed in detail the advantages and disadvantages of campus sites or neutral sites. We have discussed in detail the advantages and disadvantages of various ways to rank or qualify teams.
“Our process is proceeding as we have planned and we look forward to further conversations.”

Super Bowl XLVI: i controlli di sicurezza
Tutti, anche i giornalisti nel giorno del Media Day, devono lasciare borse e zainetti lungo una linea bianca tracciata per terra, e allontanarsi. Passano poi un cane addestrato a rilevare la presenza di esplosivi e un addetto con analogo strumento manuale. Poi c'è il via libera, e ognuno recupera la propria borsa.
