Another international soccer tournament, another chance for the American side to get humiliated on the world stage. The United States' stunning run in the 2002 FIFA World Cup seems like a distant memory at this point. Every time they lace up their cleats and take to the pitch, they lay a stinkbomb of epic proportions. I'm not sure how much more of this I can take.

I have a friend who is a daily fixture on televisions around the world. His wife is also a noted celebrity who spends plenty of time on the small screen. Their kids love watching mommy and daddy on TV. Yesterday, I saw a feature about a Major League baseball player that featured his kids. They loved going to the ballpark and hanging out with dad. I was even a little jealous of the kids, as they got to run around the locker room and hang out with all the players. The fact is – these kids grow up with dads who are larger than life.
