you're completely ignoring injuries in two of your points. Look who was injured when Lahm was send to play the 6 (hint: everybody who could play it). Guardiola would have wanted to play Thiago there as a first choice, Schweinsteiger as a 2nd. Both were injured for a good stretch of the season.

Time to remember the Manchester-Munich tale of center backs. Boateng wasnt deemed good enough for City, sold to Bayern were he won the treble and became a WC-champion. Martin Demichelis on the other hand...

overrated miss. short distance of the post, not much you can do while you still use your feet for... walking. Would argue that there would be a lot of players that would have missed that too. Looks worse in slowmo.

When the NFL season starts he will do his weekly NFL podcast and a certain ammount of other content. Everybody should be thankful for Grantland (and Simmons) not treating the NFL as a 365-sport.

you're right, he's knee deep in one of those Qatar groups (as is Pep Guardiola and many others). But he is undervalued as a player because of his on-the-field offenses.

I noticed that too. 2 questions on the topic: how many could you visit and get away with it? Are there lawyer power rankings in every city or do you have to chose by "most jewish name" and "most expensive adress"?

props for calling him the GOAT (he is).

If somebody shoots down somebody you can be certain that a lot of anti gun regulation folks will come up and comment and take sides with the shooter. Often not very intelligent, but understandable. But why the hell are there so many people claiming "totally not his fault, blow off the investigation. Good luck on his…

The Timberwolves should be happy. They are a bad organisation with bad decision making that now has the chance to build something around a player they control for a long time. They couldnt do it around Love, with very little blame to go his way. Now they have another chance, even better to rebuild because the player…

tackles aimed at lower extremities (and from behind) are considered worse than just bodychecking someone full scale, because they are whats causing injury most of the time. The tackle on Schweinsteiger was probably the worse, as it was in nowhere land on the pitch and to a player who just showed up as a gesture of…

he wagged his finger in Porter's face

yeah he is probably one of the calmest and classiest managers for any top team, but something just got him there.

Well thats the point, Caleb Porter probably told his players to keep it cool. He cant do anything if they dont. (and they didnt, these were some over the top challenges for a friendly). Caleb had that "I'm so terribly sorry"-face on after the first challenge and his players kept on going. Pep should have directed his…

Cuban uses an injury (1) that happened in an USA basketball practice (a) infront of a FIBA tournament (b) to rip the IOC (c).

If there's anything that living in Europe the past 30 years has taught me, it's to try to view issues like this from all sides, and form an opinion based on facts and perspective and impartiality – even if it isn't popular or goes against the tide. That's the only way we can make any progress in life.

Cuban playing the good old "these corrupt IOC-people"-card, but what are the real life consequences of these types of corruption for the Average Joe?

Why couldnt it have been the douche James Harden instead? Imagine: James Harden breaking a leg on defense.

Spain is not that corrupt. Transparency International ranks them #40 on the "least corrupt"-list. USA on a proud #19.

exact same thing happened at a Bayern game today, selfie with Javi Martinez. Time for players to turn these guys down. a) for safety reasons b) if they get away with a trophy, there will be 10 idiots trying it the next game.

the over-under on games till Ronaldo throws a bitch-fit the world has never seen, because there are not enough passes going his way? 10?
