07.17.08 YES, YOU NEED SOME STINKING BADGERS
The Premier League's Portsmouth Football Club, as known as Pompey - not to be confused with the one wiped out by the volcano - had their new multimillion-pound training complex approved yesterday.
The interesting wrinkle is that the complex is to be built on a nature preserve, one populated by cootsy wootsy widdle badgers. Which the team now has to watch over.
I'll admit it's somewhat refreshing to see a team take a vested interest in conservation, animal husbandry and all that piddling crap I wouldn't touch with the undercarriage of my gas-guzzling Hummer. A shame there's not a preserve for hippies for me to bulldoze and build my totalitarian thug training grounds on.
Meanwhile, stateside our networks have enviro-themed content while burning just as much energy as before. Man, I haven't been that disillusioned since I learned Ferngully wasn't real. BUT IT WAS THE LAST RAINFOREST! NOW THAT IT'S GONE WHAT'S LEFT?

Too bad it wasn't a opossum preserve.
It would be more fitting.
Not to sound like Marlon Perkins or anything, but aren't badgers vicious, fearless little bastards who'll attack anything that moves?
If management is smart, they'll put up webcams, so we can all enjoy live shots of players being chased around "the pitch" by frothing savage beasts. Then, Americans might watch soccer.
"multi-million pound"
Wow another Kim Kardashian cheap shot, who are you Reggie Bush?
Animal Husbandry is legal in England? Those filthy Redcoats.
some people say make everyday Earth Day, I say fuck Earth Day.
So THAT is where Ron Dayne makes his offseason home.
im willing to bet they sign one to play for them and it ends up being the best player theyve ever had
There's an Abbey Clancey joke somewhere in here…
