Oh man, Harris is fucked. After the police do not interview the victim, decide not to interview the accuser, wait 11 months to release the police report, delay the transfer of exculpatory blood work, decline to send the rape kit until being pressured by the public, tell the victim that her life will be "miserable" if…

Can't speak to California distribution, but I think I've seen Storm King on visits to San Fran before. Compared to Old Rasputin, you're getting more hops with Storm King and I like that as it adds some wonderful balance to your (still) dominant stout flavors. I also find higher hops makes the alcohol less prevalent.…

I'd suggest any of Great Divide's Yeti variations, if not for review then for personal enjoyment. Although my desire to keep my weight below quadruple digits prevents me from enjoying giant stouts as often as I'd like, I think my vanity plate (OH YETI) lets the 2% of the general population that gets it know where I…

Given how much it's been shown that wine-tasting scores are affected by as little as what time of day you're drinking, I think it's fair to say that beer might taste subjectively different in January vs. July. I do not have nearly enough money to have my apartment be the same temperature year-round.

Old Rasputin is another Imp Stout that you can usually get for under $10 for a 4 pack and it is quite tasty as well. It's also the darkest damn beer I've ever had.

Numbers One Through 12

I vote to move #12 down the list a few spots after last night.

That's because the refs never saw the celebration. They were too busy looking at each other, laughing, and mouthing "No shit..."

Go fuck yourself. MLS is a different league than theeurope, big fucking deal. You can enjoy EPL in the morning and MLS at night. I also notice your site hasn't covered Landon lighting shit up because it would go against your narrative that good soccer is found in the US.

What a dumb comment. The only way a promotion and relegation system can work is if there's a second division strong enough to replace the relegated sides with teams with a fighting chance. NASL is most certainly not that. Anyway, it's not as though this subject hasn't been discussed before by people with an interest…

As much as I would enjoy a relegation system, the US market isn't ready for it. English soccer is an integral part of the social fabric there. Fans have a multi-generational attachment to their local clubs that can more than survive relegation. None of these conditions apply here in the US. Relegation would be a death…

I'm not sure why they're calling this a hiatus instead of what it is—MLS is contracting, with plans to expand again with a new, second team in L.A. That team will have a new name, stadium, owners, sponsors, kits, and presumably will not carry Chivas USA's history. This is not "rebranding." It'll be a completely…

Eagerly awaiting your proposal on how it would work in practice, considering it would require NASL and/or USL Pro getting on board, which is damn near impossible. The fastest, easiest way to improve the on-field product in MLS isn't promotion/relegation, it's a better CBA and a much higher salary cap.

And it's also not "a pretty easy way," given the teams in the lower levels in this country absolutely could not afford (most of them) to pay the freight in the top flight, especially not in the four months they'd have to make the jump.

I just don't see how the two years of dormancy is really going to be distinguishable from the 10 years of dormancy that preceded it.

Shocking. Marketing a team towards a specific ethnic group rather than a city or fan base is self-limiting and alienates for no reason a large percentage of the population? Who woulda known? Was Bruce Levenson the owner?

This. I think it's totally fine if you want to follow a UEFA team, but pretentious Americans like Haisley - who even admits he's been into this sport for less than a decade! - turning their nose down at MLS like it's so beneath them is snobby myopic bullshit. The product isn't the best, but it's rapidly improving and…

I didn't become a huge soccer fan (I always watched it since it's a sport because sports) until I moved to SLC. Real Salt Lake won me over (I'm a PA native so it's mostly Philly teams otherwise). MLS became a "gateway drug" to the other leagues, so I've added Everton, Barca and Eintracht Frankfurt (close to ancestral…
