I agree how they *behaved* was nothing alike; I just think Bowden chose to disguise his ruthlessness, while Spurrier enjoyed being the cartoon villain and played up to it, especially with Tennessee fans. Underneath, they were both cutthroat winners.

Yep, this exactly. He is Bobby Bowden MkII. Bowden got a lot of mileage out of his folksy, good ol’ boy act, especially when he played it off Steve Spurrier. But Bowden was every bit the asshole as Spurrier; he just disguised it while Spurrier embraced it.

“Left unsaid there is how exactly players are supposed to go for a recovery once the play is blown dead.”

It’s not possible to be embarrassed when you’re dead.

“the club appointed Santiago Solari, a former player whose best managerial experience was at the head of the club’s B team.”

What are you talking about? The band and the animal are both spelled Phish. Only you don’t capitalize the animal.

It’s not correct tho. It’s spelled Phish.

Clicked this thinking the headline referred to the band.

When it worked. 

The Sky Sports broadcast stopped the replay on the initial pass. Lovren is playing Sterling onside. Aguero is in an offside position but a mile away from the pass, no he’s not offside.

Nike, right. But this is all just a bonus. It’s not *why* they’d splash out 70 million on a player. They’re hoping/expecting he will repay that on the field. That’s the number one priority.

They get money up front in the licensing deal, which then signs away the rights to the manufacturer to sell club-branded products. Otherwise what would be in it for Nike and other manufacturer?

I guess in a general sense it’s a good thing to have a specific appeal to an overseas fan base, but I’d be surprised if you actually make your money back on it. More people in the US paying for (or sharing) their NBC Sports Gold accounts to watch them doesn’t benefit Chelsea. People buying ‘Pulisic’ Chelsea jerseys…

With this behind them, the Dolphins can now move forward, make a smart hire, and follow it with a series of shrewd off-season acquisitions and front office decisions ah fuck I can’t do this anymore just shove this team into the sea.

Yeah, it’s really not good.

‘Pool Boys’

“112 passengers died in a post-takeoff crash from the José Martí International Airport in Havana, Cuba.”

That is a great song from an underrated band. I also really like ‘Icarus.’

Okay! I will try again to please you, the smartest person on the internet.

Seriously planning on winning the lottery some day. I play a lot, so the odds are in my favor. Definitely going to win. First things I buy?
