The problem people are having with MLS is they are not even allowing their business to mature. They’re on a money-grab, expanding with no top-flight talent coming in. Their refusal to partner with USL to develop a legitimate Pro/Rel system further eradicate their credibility in the sport.

Pfft, tell that to the citizens of Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook.

If MLS gave a shit about the soccer, they would have instituted pro/rel instead of simply holding out their hands and screaming “GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE” until every city bigger than Peoria has an MLS team.

We can’t let them in. No room. Full. We’ve got nowhere to put them. If a judge tells you to let them in, say sorry judge, I just don’t have the space. We are full to the top.

It’s cool, I’m pretty sure you can buy a replica in Joe Rickett’s Etsy shop.

Ah, you approve of injuring someone for playing baseball well.  Got it.

I’m not a fancy big-city businessman with hundreds of millions of dollars to throw at pet projects like a developmental football league, but this seems like the kind of issue I would have straightened out before investing $250 million into a league that might have to fold before it’s first season is up because there’s…

Hot take: The roommate’s reaction to the pun guy was 100% warranted. 

You’re right, coach. When I think “accountability,” I think Michigan State.

When did Cam Newton get married?

The impetus for this isn’t whiny pissbaby Sean Payton and the whiny pissbaby New Orleans fans, it’s the $2billion wagered last year during football season on daily fantasy sites. You know who gets REAL fucking upset about blown calls? Someone with money on the line.

Getting Matt Klentak’s pants’ reaction that quickly is some damn fine reporting, Chris.

As if rumors Dolan might be selling the Knicks would not make the team infinitely more attractive to free agents.

Don’t forget, Deadspin’s greatest two way threat.
