Slow News Day: FedEx Extracurriculars

Even soccer at FedEx couldn't avoid another streaking attempt from the Meringolo family.

Last night the United States Men's Soccer team took to the pitch (FedEx Field) to get spanked by the Brazilian national team, which features a bunch of guys with one name. FedEx has increasingly hosted a lot more events in the past couple of years beyond the Redskins. So as we continue our summer "Slow News Day" series I ask what non-Redskins event would you most like to attend at FedEx.

USA vs. Brazil: Just pretend its yesterday and you're real hyped up about seeing a bunch of "Where's Waldo" impersonators.

Tim McGraw/Kenny Chesney Concert: Perhaps this is the only time you can wear a cowboy hat at FedEx and not get a projectile thrown at your head. This event also features a tremendous opportunity to see Kevin in painted-on jeans, as these two country old farts take to the stage.

West Virginia vs. James Madison: Burning couches, mountain men, and Steve Shoup...what could be better? I can only imagine the tailgate trash talking between people wearing purple and still leaning on the Virginia Tech upset a couple years ago and people...well...from West Virginia.

Virginia Tech vs. Cincinnati: It doesn't exactly have the lore of Army-Navy but Tech will likely be looking to go 6-0 after blowing through their titanic out-of-conference schedule featuring Pittsburgh, Bowling Green, and Austin Peay. LETS GO PEAY!
