The U.S. Open and the FIFA World Cup both get underway today. I'm not big on watching association football, but it's one of my favorite pastimes compared with watching golf. And as it turned out, I enjoyed a lot more of the World Cup last time around than I expected, so I plan on checking it out again. And this time they won't even have those horrible vuvuzelas... at least I hope they won't!
