Watching today’s game and last week’s game actually hurt. Leicester and even Bournemouth played with so much more confidence and movement than Chelsea did. Chelsea’s attacking strategy seems to involve passes between the only two players in motion at a time (four guys constantly watching the ball), resulting in…

I read a report a few weeks ago that asserted the buyout isn’t as massive as many believe. It said that the buyout was only for a fraction of the rest of his contract. I have no idea whether that’s accurate or not, but no one really knows one way or another.
“LOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!”
The article is by an athlete, it’s about sports, and this is a sports-themed site. But I want to remind people: this kind of abuse isn’t in any way limited to a sports context. Parents do the same thing about schoolwork, music, dance... really anything you can think of. And the same thinking applies: “Well how bad can…
It did about ten minutes later, when he took three extra steps and tripped Casillas. I’m not sure what his thought process was: maybe an attempt to get back on Mourinho’s good side?
This saddens me. Being the only state that never voted for Reagan, I was hoping Minnesota was a bit more liberal across the board.
Stick grazed him in the shoulder or chest, he went down like he caught a slash in the mouth. It’s embellishment.
I don’t buy that. You take 20 people who got sick, ask them exactly what they had and the possible common threads should be apparent. There are a lot of ingredients but lots of ingredients leads to lots of variance: some heathens don’t like guacamole, other knuckledraggers think salsa is too spicy, etc.
When your keeper bails on the play, you have no right to complain.
Completely out of context. He was demonstrating what an Eagles player is doing to hold players on a special teams play. He wasn't trying to grab her to get her attention or make a point.
Glued-together defense? They’ve got as many as seven first round picks ready to start, plus two high second-rounders (33rd and 34th in Branch and Chung). And that’s not counting Sheard, a backup taken 37 overall.
He also said the Gronk OPI call was the right one. We’re through the looking glass now.
Was it the same official who blew Amendola’s big gainer dead because Rex yelled at him? It’s easier to believe that there’s just one incompetent official than to believe two officials bungled their jobs so badly in the same game.
Screw your drunken footraces. The people demand Deadspin Hurling Fights.
Net Present Value. The investment was probably a bad one, but it's not like they flushed money down the drain: there was some benefit for what they paid for.
Whether they paid too much is another matter. Not all of these things are NPV-positive.
European soccer clubs have defined, recognized identities. I’m not up on the characteristics of Bundesliga teams but in the EPL teams can be blue-collar or very glamorous, European or obstinately English, new rich or aristocratic, traditional or “the new sexy.” Companies seeking to align their brand with that of a…
Since you refer to them as “ball sports teams” you’re probably not the target demographic. It doesn’t have to make sense to you, it has to make sense to fans of those teams and leagues.
Oh, that Robin Lopez. What a kook!
It might be that I was a young kid, but Fedorov “felt” like a bigger star than Ovi does right now. I guess that’s what happens when the Canadian media changes your name to “Alex Ovechkin, no Sidney Crosby.”
