This is probably way more than you (or, uh, anyone) wanted to know about this, but ESPN uses a different game score formula than MLB.com or FanGraphs. The ESPN one was developed in the 80s by Bill James and hasn’t changed since, while MLB/FG use one that was tweaked a few years ago by Tom Tango to more accurately…

For the first time I actually saw some people playing this in a local park the other day, and at first I just thought it looked ridiculous, but then I realized that even though it is kind of ridiculous, it’s also something that you can do outside with friends and it is enhanced by having a beer or two or 14 between…

Yeah, please fuck off forever. I’ve lived through catastrophic natural disasters. People need to eat and drink clean water. Christ, go jerk yourself off with Atlas Shrugged again, you wretched piece of shit.

“Behind all these Swarovski crystals and little black dresses, this girl has a lot of grit and she’s not going anywhere,” she said.

I’ll assume you’re a more recent fan of European football.

Jesus, they never call traveling anymore.

In boxing, the Mexican style is basically walking straight forward, cutting off the ring at the corners, and leading with power shots. It means you are willing to eat jabs, basically.

Opportunity missed to scream fuck Stephen A. Smith

Props where props are due. Dan Feldman was on the Dunc’d On podcast (best NBA podcast around...by far) the day the trade was leaked. He suggested that the deal wasn’t complete, and IT’s health could throw a big wrench into it proceeding. He called this exact scenario. While not exactly surprising, he was the only…

But like...how does this affect Gerard Deulofeu?

Right. If you read that one sentence amongst the 1000+ words and the headline, it is clear Ousmane is getting his due credit. /wanking motion

What’s completely nuts is that Mbappe is also French, he might even be better.

I think he’d be a better as a replacement to Messi than being a good fit towards playing with Messi at this point in his development. Which is fine except that at $145 million the expectations that he replaces Neymar immediately and excels will be astronomically high. Patience isn’t a virtue at Barca these days and it…

Of course not, they’d say it in French: baseball de football

Qualifying for the UCL is good way to get people to Qarabout your team.

Jesus Christ. The toughest thing about being a soccer fan in the US is that every little thing becomes a dick measuring over who is more of “real” fan.

Is that true though? Is/was Coutinho so instrumental to their success that they really can’t lose him? Not sure I buy that. I don’t remember exactly, but what’d he get, like 15 goals and 10 assists? That’s good production and he does score some worldies, but he can be replaced. Hell, with the Coutinho money they could…

I’m still baffled about why Liverpool just don’t take the Coutinho money and run. He’s a good, not great, player. He is not even close to Neymar and while he is probably Barca quality it’s not a given that he’ll be successful there. If I’m LFC I’m taking that 115 million and going for any number of exciting young…

I was looking at Barcelona’s past transfers and it’s... what’s Catalan for “suck ass”?
