The Splinter and Friends
Hell of a birthday crew today, including one of the original No Mas Hall of Fame inductees, the Splendid Splinter himself. The best of the rest include… two tennis players, one on the roids and one who probably should be, a tawny-locked Czech midfielder, perhaps alpine’s most dashing and dignified legend, every fantasy dork’s wet dream, Louisiana’s greatest demagogue, an Irish swimmer turned poker player, a Philly-born cartoonist who keeps on truckin, a long-forgotten member of the Bombers’ best, the weed-smoking Chief, the towel-chewing Tark, and last but certainly first in Large’s heart, the one and only heart-pounding Tugger.

Pavel Nedved is a stone-cold G.

PS: The title of the post reads “The Spinter” instead of “The Splinter”.

Good looks Zarko.

I’m a day late on this (damn you blogger!), but that’s a good day for birthdays.
Not only is it my namesakes B-Day, but also we got Tark the shark and the 24-year old virgin himself.
Nedved is alright, but he and the rest of the Czech Squad got handled by the Black Stars in group E last year. Honestly if it weren’t for Petr Cech’s stellar goalkeeping, Ghana would’ve netted at least 6.

This is because the Black Stars have Muntari, Appiah and Essien who are in ascending order of bad-assitude.
