Sounders FC: Barcelona’s visit was a kick in the grass.

Yowch. That’s a bad pun.

Sorry. Couldn’t help it.

Actually, this is a kick in the AIR. Famed FC Barcelona footballer Thierry “I have no interest in playing for the Sounders FC at this time” Henry contorts and fires a bicycle kick shot back over his head and that of Seattle Sounders FC defender Jhon Kennedy Hurtado during their international friendly earlier this month. The shot sailed high, but he made it look soooooo easy.

And seriously, while we are talking about bicycles.  I have friends who are crazy about the Tour de France. Skinny guys on bikes. Yes, I get that they’re super-human. Still, people who argue that watching golf is boring, shouldn’t also argue that watching baseball and cycling is any more exciting. Got that, Jim?
