Makes me really appreciate the skills of QBs that successfully transition from college to the NFL (except Big Ben who is a piece of shit so fuck him). This guy was incredible at Oregon, but man is he terrible as a pro.

I started following football seriously around the time Torres went from youth prospect to star at Atletico (and I had free Gol TV with saturation La Liga coverage) and he really did seem like the Next Greatest Thing in Spanish football. He was THE guy I had to buy in franchise mode in PES. Regardless of how you rate…

The most on brand east Baltimore thing I ever saw was going to Chap’s for the first time with my wife and two young boys and finding out that it’s surrounded by adult book/video stores and next to a sad little strip club.  I enjoyed the hell outta my sandwich though.

Great pull.  Lake Trout gotta be one of the iconic trash food items of the region between DC and Baltimore.

CORRECTION: The senior judge of this three-judge panel, Judge Burton, is a woman.

Luis, thanks for not being Billy Haisley. His write-up of the same game was so astonishingly incomprehensible I had to come back to this article to write this comment. It’s nice to have a deadspin football writer who understands the basics of football and sentence structure.

Like parenting, if you can’t get the same or better results without the anger and yelling, you have failed as a coach. Young driven athletes are already plenty afraid of disappointing their parents, their coaches, their teammates, and themselves. An angry as fuck coach humiliating them and abusing them does not in the…

I’ll be honest, I hate read the shit out Haisley’s articles. Between the deficient soccer knowledge, awful takes, piss poor analysis, and insane clickbaity hyperbole, there’s so much to hate. It’s like Ray Hudson’s commentary. You listen to hear what awful crap he’ll shout out in that blood curdling voice of his.

If you know southern California in general and UCI’s student body, none of this is in any way surprising. The odds are super high that NBC edited out like 80% of students they talked to bc they were foreign students.

Holy Shit watching Todd Haley on Hard Knocks made me wonder how the hell that guy has gotten as far as he has in football or life really. He’s a fucking meathead extraordinaire.  Second only to the “I hate stretching” walrus dude.

“I guess we had our problems, but it still feels like the Chiefs do everything they can to both directly and indirectly ruin my life.”

That and every single team’s fan base is mostly racist Trump supporters.

Seriously, there’s so much wrong in that scorching take from Billy. I’m often left wondering whether Billy just doesn’t know that much about the technical side of the game or he’s trolling those who can appreciate these bad takes. Does Billy think the 3-5-2 is the only formation in football? And with LB in particular,…

This is ass-backwards, methinks. Lingard’s on-field production is undeniable. He’s having a torrid run of form. Maybe he’s just hot now, or maybe he’s actually got the potential to be a great player. But how can Haisley assert that he should not be playing? Is Mourinho not playing the supposedly better players as…

Give him credit for even bothering to go out and speak to interns. I’m shocked he even cared to do this event at all.

When I was deployed to Afghanistan, I would hear the call to prayer from the nearby mosque and thought it was beautiful. But others I served with, who’d been in Iraq during the insurgency, recoiled out of reflexive horror. For them, the call to prayer always preceded an attack by Iraqi insurgents and it would never be…

UGH, the lifted trucks. Who knew that in a place where EVERYTHING is paved over, that you needed so many lifted “off road” vehicles? I loved how racial it all was too back then (a la 90's). Blacks/latinos had lowriders, asians had dropped rice rockets, whites had lifted trucks.

Venice Beach is still holding down that white trash with money mentality with their ferocious anti-vax beach bum livin. And all the OC WT moved to Corona/Norco/Temecula/Chino two generations ago. I know b/c I grew up with them. They made original Riverside County WT look like NAACP leaders.

951 is the home base of white trash with middle class money.

How ‘bout that tableaux though. Dank shitty weather, wet muddy field, gratuitous cursing. This is England in all its glory.
