Ties And No Playoffs? Why Do You Even Do This?

The English Premier League starts on the NBC's on August 17th. The network is going all in on bringing the game to the US public. This Jason Sudeikis piece is classic. Just classic.

Coach Lasso! You rock!

Coach - Wales? Is that a country?
Assistant - Yes and no.
Coach - How many countries are in this country?
Assistant - 4.

Good stuff Maynard.

When it comes to English football we here at PengoSports throw our support behind Hartlepool United. The Monkey Hangers (great story and the reason we became supporters of the team back in 1995) play in the 4th division, which is somehow called English League Two (Premier League; Champioship; League One; League Two; and Conference). League Two is not on American TV so we could not watch the Pools lose their opening match today 1-0 to Rochdale. 

Hey! It's a Frenchman! Hang him!

 Here's to a great season of soccer on NBC and a trip back to League One for Hartlepool!

A big shout out to Joe Paisey from the Gazette for hipin' us to this.
