Wouldn’t it be simple if not for Melo’s ego? It’s pretty clear that the Knicks just need to trade him, or find a way so he’s not playing for them. The toughest thing is the fact that he probably can’t accept the fact that he should be a role-player coming off the bench, Iguadola’s the same age. Even think about this,…

You’re probably more comfortable with Mirotic taking the crtical shot than you are with Paul Zipser, but I’ve never watched the Bulls and thought that Mirotic was any kind of offensive threat. So why is he playing ahead of Bobby Portis? Why not sign another three point shooter and give Portis more minutes at PF? If…

If the players have a say in which company, I’m guessing for the Cavs it has to be one of the big three.

One striking similarity between us, the English Civil War, and the Roman Republic is that we have all occured in the Hindu Kali Yuga. Or have occured in Ovid’s Iron Age. This might explain more than you think. Well only a few hundred thousand years before it’s over, so there’s a bright side.

Mascherano was a midfielder earlier in his career right? It makes more sense to put a DM into the CB role than the other way around.  Mascherano is also way more experienced and is playing with Messi, who can go three consecutive weeks without giving the ball away.

Excellent, except we did have a CAD on my team this fall. I told him I’d rather lose 5-0 than 8-1, but we ended up losing 11-1. We also played a high line despite the fact that there was no linesmen.

The Mario Gotze that cut through Real Madrid in 2013 almost seems like a completely different player. He was scary good then but we have to look who he’s replacing. He’s slower, less confident and is replacing an in-form Mykhtarian. Bartra is replacing Hummels, one of the best CB’s in the sport. Literally the only…

Exactly. Also I’ve never understood the hybrid defender/midfield role. He put Zabaleta out of his comfort zone against Everton. For Bayern/Germany Lahm did not need to be playing midfield either and when Germany said “you know we were actually pretty good before Guardiola” they put him back in defense and scored 5…

True, you two are right. I hadn’t seen the past posts about him. So I don’t disagree with it now, but my comment was also more about who I thought was actually going to be one of the best.

Yes one of the smartest people of the 20th century predicted capitalist globalization in.......... 1995. NAFTA was a year before that. And from a book titled Demon Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, haha ya I guess an atom bomb would provide light for a short period of time with which one might be able to…

Really enjoyed this article, and enjoyed what you wrote about Dembele. The only thing I disagreed with was calling Pulisic the “world’s future best player” since Dembele should be playing for most of Pulisic’s career. The young players are great talents already, but I’m also interested if others think the signings of…

I thought David Icke already proved who runs the world. Am I somehow mistaken?

I’m a fan of Popovich and think he’s the best coach in the game, but don’t you think we live in strange times when there is an article below this one titled “Gregg Popovich Explains America”. I have carved out a career in intelligence(ok, more unpaid internship) myself, so I didn’t have to read what he said. Hopefully…

I’m glad that most of the new MLS teams are restraining from putting team names(Red Bulls, Dynamo?) after the city names. I just think the classic F.C. works perfectly, though Charlotte C.F.(Club de Futebol) would be my personal choice. Keeping in mind the large Brazilian community there.

“cosmically beleagured”- That’s an awesome phrase but why would you be optimistic? I experienced mostly frustration watching Man Utd with Moyes as manager, now at least I could say I got a good laugh(first of year) and a new name for my space-gaze emo band. Cheers.
