absolutely, positively, psychotically love the akon remix of “wanna be startin’ somethin’”. which, as anyone who was young back in the days when mj was black and just plain creepy (as opposed to being certified) will remember, was right up there with ”smooth criminal” and “give in to me”.

crowned kings of europe on a night that will be remembered for ebjt’s missed penalty almost as much as van der sar’s skills. if only a certain ivorian hadn’t done a bhajji. anyhow, here’s the moscow 2008 version of heartbreak by sudden death for those of you who were asleep at 3 am (for some reason, the clip begins after tevez scores for the rowdies):

dear dr. mallya: at the outset, let me clarify that i am no fan of the royal (laughter) challengers. on paper, they were a dull, uninspiring, utterly random team. on the field, they make that description seem flattering. their efforts have gone from lame (82 all out v. kolkata) to struggling (final over victories v.
