For most, it's a day to remember the genius of Paul Scholes, the footballer. There are plenty of classier football websites to visit for proper Scholes eulogies though. When we think of Scholes, all we can think of are mistimed, dangerous, scything tackles, the kind the Reaper himself might attempt were he to cross the white lines. How fitting is it that in Scholes last meaningful act in football was getting a red card for an evil tackle on Zabaleta in the FA Cup semifinal? His career seemed completed that day and he hasn't done a whole lot since. Behold some of the madder Scholes moments in recent years. I think that tackle on Busquets in '09 might be the highlight for me.
