soccer
a sport that americans ignore, except for one month every 4 years, when they act like they give a rat's ass about the sport. once the US team is eliminated from the world cup, they ignore soccer once again.
soccer is futbol to many. but in the us, we like football.
dude, seriously, i mean i'm a big sports fan. i love football, hockey, baseball, basketball, racing, boxing- hell, i'll even watch bowling. but i just find soccer boring.

Kia
kia is the name of an awful little korean car manufacturer. unlike their korean rival hyundai, which has made significant improvements to their vehicles over the past 2 decades (although kia is in better shape than korean car maker daewoo, which could only handle the us market for 3 years), kia's quality remains relitively low. the cars have gotten better since being first introduced to the states in the early '90s, and they are well know for their great warrenties. but build quality and reliability where they should be. also, kia interiors have a strange smell, which is acredited to the packaging in which they are imported.

Alabama Of The Northeast
the alabama of the northeast is the nickname given to central PA. members of the media from outside of the state percieve pennsylvania as a 'swing state'- one that could go either left or right politically. this is far from true. PA is actually a state that his 2 distinct regions. on the two ends of the state you have the urbanized areas, which are traditionally moderatally liberal. this includes philly, allentown, scranton-wilkes barre in the east and pittsburgh and erie in the west. these (good) parts of PA are generally a mix of center-right 'union democrats' and true northeastern liberals. however, central PA is by far the most conservative area in the Northeastern US. this area is called an 'alabama' because it's known for having a lot of rednecks (due to the fact that this is part of appalachia).

Ryan Leaf
perhaps the biggest flop in NFL history, Ryan Leaf was the #2 overall pick by the San Diego Chargers in 1998. the only player picked in front of Leaf was Payton Manning, and the Colts (who selected Manning) considered taking Leaf until just before draft day. needless to say, the Colts were wise to take Payton.
Leaf was highly touted, coming out of Washington State U, and was expected to lead San Diego to glory. However, in is rookie year, he had 2 touchdowns, 15 picks, and a bad attitude. he nearly fought an angry fan, often screamed at reporters, and faked an injury to leave practice to golf. he missed the '99 season with a shoulder injury, and after poor performance, and injury, and a run in w/ police (a bar fight), he was released after 2000.
Leaf was signed and released by tampa Bay before the 2001 season, and finally ended up playing as a back up in Dallas that year. He lost all 4 games that he started.
He signed with Seattle as a back up prior to 2002, but retired due to long standing injuries.

Dan Rather
Dan Rather is a real newsman, part of a generation of trusted, introspective sources, along with Peter Jennings and Tom Brokaw. But with Jennings dead, Brokaw retired, and Rather forced from CBS within a year of each other, news as we know it has ended. Rather is a real reporter, unlike Katie Couric, his replacement after Bob Schieffer (who is a real newsman as well) is taken from his interim role. Rather is well known for his reports on Kennedy's assassination, Nixon's impeachment, Vietnam, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and Suddam's tourture chambers.
Unfortunately, Rather will be remembered for his drawn out voice and one error in reporting, more than for all the good things he did. Like the news has never fucked up a little deatail in a story before?
Rather is also probably the only reporter to have a top 10 rock his written about him. REM's What's the Frequency, Kenneth, is about an incident in the 1980s in which a crazy guy beat up Rather because he thought the media was controling him mind.

Dan Rather reported real news. Not like this bullshit from Catie Kouric, or the fake and twisted news from Fox.
