FootbalFutbol

Beginning this weekend, I am launching an impressive new re-branding of this site that will change your life.

Pancakes In the Age of Enlightenment is now FootballFutbol. Why the bilingual name? Am I making some kind of statement on immigration? Am I going to start writing in Spanish? Oh the questions that must be rattling around your head now!! Well, the answers to both of those questions are no.

FootballFutbol will be, to my knowledge, the first site in the history of the interweb that marries the 2 sports that America, and the rest of the world, are the most passionate about, American Football, and the rest of the world's football, or soccer, or calcio, or, yes, futbol.

You'll still be getting the NFL coverage I've been bringing, but now, you lucky, unworthy bastards, you'll also be getting soccer postings from a guy who is far, far, far more talented than I, Patrick N. You may know Patrick from his work on the On the Offense radio podcast, and from his ontheoffense.com website, and his On the Offense column at our old website. Now you can find him here, and that is awesome.

His first post is right below this one, and talks about the US team's awful performance in the Copa America. Go read it now.
