Hard hits

OK, I kinow it's the football board .... it's 10:45 Saturday night, and if anyone is reading this, check out the soccer game on ESPN2. L.A. Galaxy is playing (and whipping) Chivas, the new "other" team in L.A. Not only is Galaxy playing great, but it's REALLY rough .... and Ugo Ihemelu is right in the middle of everything. After one of his teammates got taken down, he returned the favor next time down the field. When Cobi Jones got taken down by a cheap shot, Ugo was in the middle, separating the teams before a fight broke out (he sure isn't playing like a rookie making his second start). When another teammate got tripped, a Chivas player drove in toward the Galaxy goal long after the whistle blew .... so, with the play already dead, Ugo grabbed the guy and threw him down. This guy is a GREAT player, and he's going to get better.

And there might be a fight before the game's over. Hopefully, if there is, he's not involved.

Thanks for the heads-up -- great game. Ugo looks even better than he did when he played for the Ponies. He was terrific tonight.
