Wow, Billy, now you're even shelling out bad takes about the NFL. Getting that draft capital haul for two players that may have been good for the team in the past but are mediocre in the grand scheme of things is actually a good deal. Tunsil has his head up his ass about football and Stills can't possibly have the…

Except you’re wrong (again). If the violations (entering the box before the penalty is taken and the keeper stepping off the line early) were spotted by the ref and/or the linesman, the penalty kick would still have to be retaken because those violations offset.

Yay for the husband of a player who is a shell of her former self and has won against an also shell of a former player. Also, both are fading away fast and, without these tropes, won’t stay relevant in the current circuit for long.

Great post, Drew.

*Eye witness. Expert witness, while it can be rebutted, has a lot more credibility than just someone recollecting imprecisely from the stand.

Re: Let’s gooooo as the only sentence athletes seem to know to how to sputter anymore, I present to you the “we’re Gucci” as in “we’re good”. It’s not only retarded, it makes no fucking sense since Gucci is a brand all built up on hype being peddled to young urban types, who are conveniently kept out of the loop…

Hard to take seriously your (Deadspin) opinions’ on football (yes, that’s the fucking name of the sport) when you come out every week with this bullshit and naming one of the most decorated clubs in European and world football ‘Pool boys’.

Wow, nearly 1,000 words and none of them is Valverde. You know, the guy who’s an utter disgrace for Barcelona. You think they like winning La Liga and watching Real Madrid win 3 Champions Leagues in a row? Or that Liverpool, who was all about eliminated by the same Barcelona squad, came back from a ridiculous away…

All handballs in the box will now be a free kick, regardless if it’s an offensive or defensive foul. So, no, Gundogan is wrong in the sense that any defender who handballs will indeed be penalised with a penalty kick.

Both the Steelers and the Raiders could drown in Cleveland’s burning river, for all I care, but the Steelers are looking more and more, each passing day, as the winners of that trade.

*Sigh* write down 100 times: “Fantastic Four is not a good franchise and its movies are nowhere near as interesting, let alone *good*, to be included in the same sentence as some of the later X-Men movies”

Then why even fucking hire her in the first place?

Counterpoint: fuck everyone and everything

That’s because Billy is f’n bandwagon fan of football (yes, that’s the name of the fucking sport) and cannot fathom the possibility that underdogs are robbed left and right when it matters the most, even if the refs don’t want to.

Of course, there’s a chance that I’m just not understanding the thought process that a soccer genius like Guardiola went through to stake this claim. Maybe he’s the correct one here and things like a player’s hairstyle can actually serve as an indicator for one’s talent level.

What the fuck have you been smoking, and where can I get it? Joaquin Phoenix was 25 in 1999.

I agree with everything except with the assertion that Maguire is the best centre back on the market, right now (other than de Ligt). Maguire couldn’t crack the rotation at City or Liverpool right now. If you’re signing a player that isn’t better than your immediate rivals (which those two aren’t, really, because…

I mean, it’s like they’re not even trying to understand the game at this point. At least he didn’t call them ‘Pool Boys’

So you’re basically making the argument that the USWNT’s wins should be discounted because of the low number of quality sides in each world cup. Therefore, this WC win isn’t really impressive seeing that a) they had won it 3 times out of 7, and b) there aren’t really many challengers

Do you guys not have editors? Because spelling.
