The fact that it’s a league covered in English is a big part of its hype, but this is also something that happens in cycles.

“no ability and a great clubhouse presence”... I am tempted to apply to his entire career.

I think it’s about how you want to hide his defensive issues. In midfield, it means putting him next to a midfielder that’s defensive-minded, or having two absolutely outstanding CBs behind him, because otherwise your back four is exposed when he wanders. So you’ve either spent two of your central MF roles on less…

I watched the trailer thinking “wow she really committed to that role, I hardly recognize her.”

Come on, Billy, I thought you would have made the old “real reason I don’t watch MLS is because it doesn’t have pro/rel” argument at least 2 years ago when it was en vogue.

Of course, the Gawker version of the article names him, but that seems to have been added after he admitted to it through a spokesman.

The Telegraph says it has two independent sources that confirm his identity, but Albert does not. Probably best for him not to publish a name that he can’t confirm is actually the killer.

My personal favorite was landing in Tegucigalpa. Was too young to be afraid then, but not sure my heart would handle it now. Ex-carrier pilots usually!

It’s also definitely not original.

But really, your last point is crucial to understanding why this could be a decent enterprise. Batman has no chance at winning. He doesn’t in the comic - he fights dirty to get to a standstill at best. But that’s the point! He’s fighting a losing battle, but he believes in it - which is what’s romantic about Batman to…
