That's assuming that everyone in the US who enjoys and follows the sport, yet doesn't pass a certain litmus test, i.e., not following MLS and supporting everything it does, does so because they have some slavish devotion to the way they do things in the Olde World.

"Are you talking about a system where the worst of MLS have a playoff with the best of NASL for promotion/relegation? That could be interesting."

"Promotion/relegation requires a stable of lower-tier teams with strong local followings. That simply doesn't exist in the U.S."

There ought to be a Godwinesque law for the term "Eurosnob," which has been shitting up American soccer discussions for well over 20 years now.

OK, internet - Randy Orton RKOing the Greater Albania banner. Go!

You think that's bad, just wait until the entire internet sees what Randy left in its bag.

"Online dating's usefulness is dependent upon a lot of factors—your location, your age, your personality type, what you're looking for, and so on. It's easier in densely populated areas than in rural areas, for example."

Peter King AND Jay Mariotti.

I lived in southeastern Ohio for several years, and I have to say, this just isn't true. At least it wasn't when I was there.

I know, maybe, eight people on that master list. And can't wait to see all of them!

That does sound like a total nightmare.

You lost me at "neat efficiency of a four way intersection. " Everyone knows rotaries are more efficient and environmentally-friendly, and it's a relief that more small town traffic engineers are starting to recognize the fact, thereby dragging themselves by their knuckles into the 20th century.

No one ever thought Brek Shea was a "prodigy" or even remotely likely to save anything.

Bah Allah!

Baaabke's still got it.

Hunter Pence calls it "pop."

"It worked instantly. I got a knot in my throat, felt like someone had punched me in the stomach....I threw up five or six times, and was walking, downhill, so I knew things were going badly. I started thinking, Man it's really sucking today."

New style car - definitely not a Hudson Line train. They're content to keep us Dutchess County yokels in 50 year old rolling stock, driven by engineers who fall asleep at Spuyten Duyvil every now and then. That looks like a Pullman sleeper by comparison!
