Grub Shots: Sneaky Dee's "King Crown Nachos"

Much to my chagrin, the Snooty Fox in Hamilton, ON no longer serves my favourite nachos. I quickly found a replacement, as Sneaky Dee's at Bathurst and College (Toronto, ON) serves up a MEAN nacho platter. The frijoles were definitely the kicker.

Dope jerseys: Oregon Ducks 2011/2012 (Nike)

Not only is the jersey dope, but the whole uniform. The matte black finish on the helmets is just nasty.

Soccer scouting report: Top 5 young players (Fall 2011)

I have a feeling all 5 of these young guns are going to have a huge 11/12 season for their respective clubs and countries.

#5 - Ryo Miyaichi
So I might be a little biased with this selection as Ryo is set to suit up for the Gunners this year (he was on loan at Feyenoord last season), but you can't deny that this kid has raw talent. His step overs while moving forward with the ball are excellent. Let's hope we get to see him in action this season, especially considering Arsenal's influx of players during the transfer window.

#4 - Shinji Kagawa
This kid is speedy on the pitch and possesses a very high level of creativity. Doesn't hurt to play on one of the most exciting teams in Europe either. Borrussia Dortmund's Champ's Leauge fixture against Arsenal should be one of the best matches in the group stage.




#3 - Sebastian Coates
He had a huge Copa America this past summer, but is still unproven in a top league. Liverpool gets an A+ in my books for their moves in the transfer window and they definitely bolster their "D" by bringing in Coates.


#2 - Eden Hazard
Believe the hype about Eden Hazard. He is the "real deal Holyfield". Plays a very attractive style of football and has a mean two-touch spin move. Lille's prize possession will be yet another reason to pay attention to the group stages of the Champ's league this year.


#1 - Mario Götze
This kid is going to go down as one of Germany's greats. If Joachim Löw decides to play him alongside Mesut Ozil, you really have to consider Germany as a front-runner to win Euro 12' along with Spain and Holland. 14 assists in the Bundesliga last year goes to show he has Zidane-like vision.
