Counterpoint: the Chargers are stupid (nothing new here), but Bosa’s agents aren’t providing him with good representation. The offset language is a moot point: no one releases the 3rd overall pick prior to his rookie deal expiring. The up-front bonus is a little more understandable. Worth holding out training camp

As a Spurs supporter, it pains me to watch what Roy has done with a squad brimming full of young talent. Sure, Harry might not have had a great tournament. But Roy didn’t do him ANY favors by clogging up running lanes with Sturridge and Sterling, who stalled attacks and lost the ball with their poor movement. I

He’s referring to the anomalous time (I can’t remember when) when the USMNT was, for some reason, ranked in the top 10. But, anyone who knows footy knows the FIFA rankings are about as viable as Matthew Berry’s fantasy musings.

Couldn’t agree more - horrible decision-making on both goals. Just as bad, though, is Jurgen’s lineup selection. Beckerman, Zusi, and Wondo to “go for it”? That’s like the Lakers signing Brandon Bass and Nick Young to make the playoffs.

“What a great first half by Wondo!”

YEAH! ALBANIA WOULD DESTROY HAITI!

I like that one for point of reference, too, mostly b/c the Miracle on Ice is probably my favorite sports story of all time. I get chills every time I hear Al Michaels’ call. As a Spurs supporter, I can only shake my head at what could’ve been. Fantastic season by Leicester, and well-deserved too.

A pretty poignant stat I read elsewhere: prior to the season, the 76ers were at something like 250-1 odds to win the championship. Leicester were 5000-1. Can’t wait for the 30-for-30.

Embarrassing how Chelsea played for the draw after going level. Played like a team who spent half the season begging for fouls and the other half of the season under-performing. If Kane falls to the ground as easily as Costa, Hazard’s goal never happens. Pretty surprising that Spurs didn’t pick up a red today, but

Now playing

Sam, a genuine thank you for a great DUAN musical selection. There’s been some great jams posted lately, and I hope that the good run continues. After all, there are only so many Lil B songs in the universe.

I’d like to see a Roger Goodell handshake/hug draft grade: a pick-by-pick analysis of the handshake and/or hug that he employs, a corresponding grade per shake/hug, and a total grade for the round.

Fair enough - but your assessment is also leaving out the League Cup matches where Spurs won on the replay. Another small point is that Leicester has had the fortune of not having to play consistent Tuesday-Thursday matches. I’m not at all trying to diminish Leicester’s success. I’ve spent the whole season convincing

That’s not my argument, though. My claim is that Leicester have been fantastic this season - it just so happens that a big part of their success is winning close games by a 1-0 scoreline. You can’t win those games without fantastic team play, but neither can you win (that many of) those games without incredible amount

Fair point, but if you include the League Cup, the teams drew once more before Spurs knocked Leicester out. Leicester are having a fantastic season, but you can’t deny that this team hasn’t been a little lucky. Winning 1-0 takes skill, but even the best defense in the world gives up a garbage goal every now and then.

They hit the post three times, but just had a poor second half. Kane had one of his less impressive matches in recent memory - rarely on the ball, and minimal running off the ball (which is extremely rare for him). Just further evidence that the soccer gods are in Leicester’s corner this year!

He was injured.

About a year ago, I pulled up to a stoplight in my car and looked to my left and saw Bill on one of these custom bikes. I rolled down the window and said, “Bill, you’re the man! Heard you [calling a college basketball game] on ESPN last night, good stuff.” In reality, his call of the game was horrendous, but the

Tough break - but Martin isn’t the only one getting screwed here. Nick Young’s gamecock won’t be going dancing this year either.

Didn’t watch this one, but saw the first leg where we were totally outplayed and deserved to lose. But, lord almighty, that first red is arguably one of the worst calls I’ve seen in any match all year.
