But, Basel and Rome are wonderful places to visit! At least you're on the right side of the pond!

Greg - Do you or 365 put together a Europe League preview? As opposed to Champions League, there are many teams I am not familiar with and I'm curious who would be favored. I imagine Everton, Villareal, and Ajax would all be highly rated... but that could just be my bias of teams that I recognize.

Tell ya what, Jason... let me get through some of this work pile and I will offer my favorites for each group and the crown.

Oi vey, don't let The Distracter see that idea!

I was actually thinking of a Cottage visit.
