today i read a story about a sport feed called Experiencing the chill of 'Victory' referring to a movie called victory. here is the rap up of itIf you don't remember what happened in "Victory," the Nazis organized a war-time soccer game between a German squad and a team of POWs led by a potbellied Michael Caine and the stunt double used for every Michael Caine soccer scene. The great Sly Stallone plans the team's escape for halftime, then convinces the Irish goalie to break his own arm so Sly can steal his spot and lead the escape -- the single most improbable moment in sports movie history. It's not just that the goalie would say, "That's OK, I'll stay here; you guys can escape," but that he'd break his own arm to make it happen -- followed by the Allies' falling behind and eschewing the escape to play the second half (the second most improbable moment in sports movie history), rallying to "tie" the game on a goal that's disallowed, tying the game on Pele's bicycle kick, then clinching a tie in extra time after Sly catches Werner Roth's penalty kick (the third most improbable moment in sports movie history). That's when the crowd charges the field, overpowers the Nazi soldiers and allows everyone to escape. The End. sounds like a good movie. if the nazis would have actually organized a soccer game and the prisoners escaped like that it would have been one of the greatest moments in history. according to the feed, it was one of the top 10 sports movies. i can see why

toady i readhttp://http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7074668.stmand it was about a shipment from columbia carrying cocaine. the mexican navy intercepted 11.5 tons of cocaine! imagine how much that's worth. but that's not all. the navy found a second stash aboard the ship bringing the total number to 23.5 tons! the anti-drug campaign is proved to be working as Antonio Garza Jr said in a statement "further proof of President [Felipe] Calderon's commitment to cripple drug lords and bring them to justice" and the searchers aren't even done searching the ship so the number could still go up.
