My friend Mark and I teleported down to Wolverhampton, near Birmingham in the UK, this past Saturday morning to watch the Tottenham Hotspurs play the Wolverhampton Wanderers (aka Wolves) at Molineux Stadium, built in 1889 and the oldest in the Premier League. Tottenham, one of Mark's favorite soccer teams, had been playing very well up to now, and was recently in first place in the Premier League. However, two players who have been key to the team's success suffered injuries, and as a result, the team has slipped in the standings. Evidently, Tottenham suffers from a lack of depth, a concept which, as a Chicago White Sox fan, I can truly appreciate. The season before last, it seemed like the entire White Sox starting lineup was on the injured list, with nobody left to replace them except Little Leaguers. This season, of course, the team was just plain bad. And my advise to Tottenham fans? Get ready for heartache. Tottenham lost to Wolverhampton 2-1 this past Saturday. And, by the way, the photograph above was taken of Mark, on the right, and me, on the left, at Molineux Stadium, just before we teleported back to Denver. Isn't the 21st Century amazing?
