So everyone has probably seen Maradona's famous goal against England. But maybe fewer have seen it with the original Argentine commentary. Suffice it to say, I almost put this in the "beast" thread for the announcer alone. The dude absolutely loses his mind, nothing in US sports announcing is like that. Which is a shame, cause it's awesome.

Translation of what he says (Guga can correct me if I mess anything up):

"They're going to pass to Diego, now Maradona has it, two defenders on him. Maradona touches the ball. The genius of world football starts to his right. He leaves the third behind and is going to pass to Burruchaga. No Maradona was always going to keep it! Genius! Genius! Genius! It's there it's there it's there it's there it's there and GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! GOOOOOOOOAL! GOOOOOOOOOAL! I WANT TO CRY! HOLY GOD! LONG LIVE FOOTBALL! GOLAZO!* DIEGO! MARADONA! IT'S MOVING ME TO TEARS, FORGIVE ME! MARADONA, IN AN UNFORGETTABLE RUN, IN THE GREATEST PLAY OF ALL TIME, COSMIC LITTLE BARREL,** WHAT PLANET DID YOU COME FROM, TO LEAVE SO MANY ENGLISHMEN IN YOUR WAKE? TO BRING THE WHOLE COUNTRY TOGETHER IN A TIGHT FIST? SHOUTING FOR ARGENTINA! ARGENTINA 2, ENGLAND 0! DIEGOAL! DIEGOAL! Diego Armando Maradona. Thank you God, for football, for Maradona, for these tears, for this Argentina 2, England 0.

*There's no one-word translation for "golazo." It basically means "really awesome goal."
**He literally calls him a "cosmic little barrel," but he means that Maradona is short and stubby.

Just wanted to break a little sweat and get my HR up a bit. Kept it nice and relaxed but still managed to get the rope caught a few times. Frustrated and would have been embarrassed had there been anyone else around.

for the record, he was joking.

I ate chicken. Am I roided? Should I give up on sports?

I know, no and yes.

Chicken isn't made in laboratories

Posted Hickson's 800 lb DL video in Lyle's forum. He said this:

Whenever people ask me about steroids and GH in meat, I'm pointing to this kid: see, the stuff's helping.

please explain to me what the fuck that has to do with lyle.

Everyone who dedicates themselves to the barball over a considerable amount of time should be respected, regardless of size or the load that happens to be on the bar.

with flander's caveat (i.e. 20 years of doing it wrong and getting nowhere doesn't count), i agree with this. i'd actually expand it to say that long-term dedication to doing anything well deserves respect.*

*inb4 what about serial killers?

ah, so borderline MR it is. sorry, man. that's a heavy cross to bear.
