You're right. Bundesliga teams are 80-90% owned by the members/fans so they have a right to voice their grievances. You're also right about Bayern loaning them money, though this was relatively small loan (something like 2 million). I'm a Bayern fan but BVB has some of the most passionate supporters. The "Yellow Wall"…

Just a stadium full of angry, fed-up Germans, humiliated as their former glory and power morphs into a collective embarrassment as well as complete subjugation to those who once feared them. What's the worst that can happen?

Brilliant isn't it, that during a player's career Character Matters. You worry if he will be a Distraction. If he lives life The Right Way.

I'm gonna side with King here. If this past season has taught us anything, it's that professional football exists wholly separate from the day-to-day banalities of sexual assault and domestic violence.

Sometimes it helps to look at the same type of scenario with a non-sexual action:

"That'll show him."

Under the League's understanding of what constitutes alcohol and marijuana abuse, I've been a raging junky unfit for work since I was seventeen years old.

Conspiracy theories are usually dumb, but this one is a special kind of dumb.

To give some background here: Uzbekistan recently got eliminated from the Asian Cup by South Korea. Uzbekistan actually had a nice nil-nil tie going into extra time, and then gave up two goals. In the lead up to the match, Russian rags did some hot-takes of how the Uzbek team was much better and how they had a…

I don't think he's actually complaining about the hard work part, though. He's just illustrating that people think he has it easy- and yeah there definitely were fun times, of course, but he also worked his ass off. But he knows that's what he has to do, that's not a complaint.

But the percentage of players who go on to make millions in the NFL is probably LESS than the percentage of other students who go on to make millions on their own with their degrees.

I'm really sick of these thugs and the constant attention they get on this website. Can we go a couple of weeks without mentioning the NCAA?

PRIDE: (noun) a mental state exhibited by people who presume that they speak for God.

Holy shit, did you see that guy's fucking name? Who names their kid Chaperone?

In this case, the complaint isn't about promoting from within - several teams have done that to good results, especially with the position coaches and coordinators. The bigger issue here is that they simply aren't offering the money or environment to attract the best coaching talent. If you interview 5 candidates and…

Am I crazy for thinking I'd like playing for Harbaugh? He's crazy but he never seemed like a dick like Schiano. From the outside it seems like he supports his guys. I haven't seen him bury his players in the media. Comes up with good schemes. Maybe he wears people out though.

I'm kinda surprised half the coaching staff isn't there on H-1B visas.

Coaches are everything in this league. The talent level on the field is at such a level of parity that superstar players can't carry an entire team of 55. Niners management are fools.
