No, this was way worse. It never should have happened, while the slip could have happened to anyone.

Wonder if the Kop will sing that the next time Gerrard plays.

He's retired and busted, so Goodell doesn't give a fuck what happens to him. If he only gets 20 years he'll be lucky.

That's OK, the English teams forgot the Champions League too.

Soccernomics would be a good read, but essentially sports franchises are nowhere near massive companies if you are comparing them to Fortune 500 clubs. A high proportion of those funds go for players, both in wages and in transfer fees.

I understand their point, but that makes me think these owners are totally stupid if they thought that they could maintain the system forever. They heard about Gareth Bale moving for 120 million pounds to Real Madrid, right?

He would then slowly allow MLS to deteriorate, resign as MLS commissioner, and then insist David Moyes be selected to replace him.

The weather is the bigger issue now. I could see us on a Scandinavian schedule where it basically follows the English calendar but takes a portion of the winter months off.

If the players can't get free agency, they should just fuck off to Europe. These owners don't seem to realize that this is not the fucking NFL. I'm a fan of MLS, but I'll do without a season if the owners won't cave.

Most people probably wouldn't, but some might be into it. You never know with people.

And that, kids, is what is called necklacing, for obvious reasons.

When did Fredric Forrest become a cult leader?

I think the repeat offenses had something to do with it.

The problem is, God help me, his songs are as catchy as shit. Exhibit A [Also, dig the description on the YouTube clip]:

We need to remember that this guy has been convicted of sex offenses on two different continents over the course of more than a decade.

...and kids, that's how Ulster finally became a united society.

Rimando's going to be 38 by the next WC, so that won't really work. Hamid or Johnson's the better option if Guzan falters.

Bill Hamid and Sean Johnson may have a reply to that.

He was OK but nowhere near a superstar. Not as bad as Garett or David Flair, though.

Nepotism is basically part of wrestling. Sometimes it works out (the Von Erichs for a time in WCCW), sometimes it's a spectacular failure (Shane OMac in the WWE), and sometimes it's sort of in-between (Greg Gagne in his dad Vern Gagne's AWA promotion).
