Monday Blogdome: The Greek boot of justice comes down on soccer diver

* Let This Be A Warning To Arjen Robben And His Fellow Divers. Most soccer fans loathe when players dive to the ground to get a card especially when they overreact. It’s even more infuriating when great players do it on a regular basis. I’m looking at you, Arjen Robben and Didier Drogba. Robert Pires was an expert at the diving game. There usually aren’t any repercussions for divers unless they play in Greece. Check this player’s reaction after being sent off for a tackle. [Deuce of Davenport]

* And Now, Let’s Get Awkward With ‘Around The Horn’ Talking About Jay Mariotti’s Arrest. Actually, they didn’t talk about Jay Mariotti’s arrest or its consequences, but rather the media hoopla surrounding it. The transcript can be found here. My opinion is probably mostly in line with Richard Deitsch, who commends ATH for tackling the issue, but, next to ignoring it altogether, definitely did so in the safest way possible. [Awful Announcing]
* For the Record: The starting quarterback for Memphis will be Cannon Smith, the son of FedEx founder Fred Smith … Want to get away? This Russian goalie does.
