I don't know what's sadder. That coaches lie about their intention or that the fans/alum actually take them at their word.

Any questions?

Naturally ESPN tweeted: "How will this affect Penn St. recruiting?"

You're a cancer to your family!

Ultimately I don't think the American owners could change the rel/pro system since the FA can veto anything like that. Part of why I follow the EPL (and the other European leagues) is because it's different than US sports in the sense it's cut throat. I don't have a huge problem with the same teams contending all…

If being able to service your debt makes you financially sound in your view, I guess we just have different opinions of what financially sound means. I would say Arsenal are financially sound (they have a big debt too but it's completely under control) but Man Utd IMO if they have a couple of bad seasons, they could…

I totally agree!

Financially sound? LOL, not sure what you've been reading. Enjoy the 2014-15 Europa League!

My point about American owners are that most are unconcerned with winning at least in the sense they aren't willing to spend for it. There's nothing wrong with that but I still fear they might try to do away with relegation. One thing I don't like about the NFL is how it punishes good teams and rewards the bad. …

Playing it and playing it effectively are two different things. If you want to rag on Harden's defense fair enough but don't say you can't be a superstar for not being good at it when you have someone so glaring like Durant (see the 2012 Finals).

It's cute how they didn't even bother taking it out of the USPS box.

How's Man United doing now that SAF retired? Arsenal? That trophy case has just been bulging ever since Kroenke took over. Aston Villa? Who cares, if they disappeared tomorrow, would EPL fans even notice? As for Fulham, relegation fodder. As for Liverpool, great job Hicks and Gillette did. The EPL is for the…

You mean Michael Jackson

This guy might be a lout but at least he is who he is. I would say the American owners are a much bigger threat than this guy. Say what you want about Abramovich and the Man City owners but at least their cash is good, not like the Glazers who bought Man Utd. on credit.

In defense of Jerry Jones, he does have a 3 Super Bowl titles. If Tan has an American equivalent it's probably this guy:

According to the Big Ten commissioner, the entire NY-metro area is on the edge of their seats watching their beloved Rutgers right now.

Agreed, he was dominating that fight up until he got caught clowning.

What does Nate Freeman have to say about this?

no it's actually French for "low hanging fruit"

If that's the case, I guess Kevin Durant isn't a superstar either.
