They should put the F22 an pick up the YF23.

Now if the US would only smarten up, punt the F-35 and restart F-22 production.

The driver should be charged with attempted murder - but because he “only” hit a motorcycle, he won’t be.

The fans are the problem. Mainstream American fans have no experience not being the best at the international level. They have almost no experience with embarrassment at the international competitive level and their views about coaches are often informed by professional or college sports where a new coach can simply…

Generally agree, but I think people always over-evaluate the talent USA players.

Well... no. If Andorra goes out and loses to Italy 3-2 in extra time, Andorra doesn’t fire their coach for not getting results. They probably extend him, or more likely, lose him to a slightly better team like Denmark or Sweden.

So the 21-year old with a 5-year old was being irresponsible? Get out of town.

That take was so strong, it could bench 450 and squat 750.

Ichiro is so awesome. Imagine if he started playing in the majors when he was 20 instead of 29. He’d have had one of the greatest careers ever.

*God’s voice booms down from the heavens*

“That’s God setting it up,” Wilson said, “to make it so dramatic, so rewarding, so special.”

Players like Giovinco are the types of DP players that MLS needs to pursue going forward. Players whose contracts are expiring, in their prime (26-28 years old), and are fringe (spot-starters) on top level european clubs. MLS already seems willing to pay good money for DPs (though not transfer fees), so it’s just done…

By proxy, Russia is going to control Syria, Iraq, and Iran. Oil, strategic ports, trade, and global influence. You know, all the things we used to care about before Obama took us into the postmodern era, in which all we need are good feelings and a sense that we’re ‘on the right side of history’, whatever that means.

Under his logic, the U.S. Can annex any territory it has a base in.

Yeah I’m sorry but they did not have the ‘right’ to annex part of Ukraine. They may have pulled it off without major consequences but it was still wrong. Legally and morally.

World Tribune is not really a credible source.

No doubt. By the way, you look at the teams that consistently win and they train all their players to fit into the system. The Steelers are notorious for giving a guy a very limited role, like “rush the passer” while developing him into a complete player in their complex scheme over 2-3 years. So this sort of…

Kinda seriously, this is consistent with the contemporary trend of companies not wanting to train employees (because training costs money, and that cuts into shareholders’ profits!) So they complain that colleges aren’t training people for the very specific jobs they offer, when they should really be trying to develop…

“Buffalo Bills general manager Doug Whaley said he had the same results when he asked prospects a question about defenses shifting from a common scheme called “cover 2” to an equally mundane tactic called “cover 3.”

You identified a problem, showed difficulties in overcoming the problem, and proposed a solution. This is the greatest comment in the history of Deadspin soccer posts.
