Why is everyone saying Donovan is a leader and the heart & soul of the USMNT? Bullshit! I love Donovan and everything he's brought to the team, but the guy was never a leader. He was never someone that the team followed. Which is fine, but let's not turn this into something that isn't true.

Donovan has done so much for UC Soccer and I am a huge huge fan of his. But Donovan's biggest asset has always been speed and quickness. Now he is a little bit heavier, lacks the burst, and is not the same player anymore. The USMNT doesn't need Donovan's leadership as much as they need guys with unique skill sets or…

Time to embrace the era of Julian Green and Aaron Johannsson attacking from the wings.

That's funny

Love this. It's what I've been saying to all my fellow Cleveland buddies since we drafted him: I'm sick of all these goody-good QBs we get... I don't fucking care about the amazing thing Brandon Weeden did for his dad, or the awesome "unselfish deed" Brady Quinn/Derek Anderson/Jason Campbell/Spergon Wynn/etc.…

We want the forbidden fruit. That's it.

Fuck it. I'm starting to really like Justin Beiber. Blatant disregard for common decency? Utter contempt for his pre-teen fanbase? Pills and weed during a Lamborghini race on a busy freeway? Plowing Brazilian prostitutes? Playing basketball poorly? This kid is everything I would be if I had a billion dollars too.

Yeah. That #1 dunk? In the dunk competition? That just happened in a game, against real defenders.

Louisianians are not "jealous." You can keep what you have. We've been to Houston. It's basically Los Angeles with no ocean, no culture, bad weather, and worse sports teams.

Are you actually surprised your coaches didn't want you helping the Bears and the Packers?

So people who follow statistics are bigots?

Given sentiment in the muslim world towards the jewish state, and given the apparent symbolism of Anelka's action, the point is self-evident.

Magary's transition to modern-day Andy Rooney is becoming less and less subtle each week. It really is not going to be too much longer before he is shaking his fist on 60 Minutes and bitching about how kids these days are going too fast on their derned hover boards.

YEAH SANJEETS, YEAH SANJEETS

A big calm down to the guy who got so mad over a jv football trick play that you would think that trick plays touched him as a child

People get suckered in to Oregon every year. Every year they say "no, really. This time it's different." And it never is.

Hamilton Nolan's suspiciously hanging out by the color printer now, isn't he?

I forgot - If the US wins: None of it mattered, it was just a friendly, they weren't trying, it didn't count, the sun was in their eyes, etc....

If the US loses: See? They can't play, can't beat anyone, will get run off the field by the best, can't develop our own players...

Ladies and Gentleman, we have a fucking FOOTBALL team.
