She’s the Carmelo Anthony of US Soccer: a talented, high usage malcontent who underperforms xG and constantly chooses selfish shots over selfless setups. Her shot chart never shows the opportunity cost, but because she’s Carli Lloyd, darling of That One Game 4 Years Ago, no one in the media ever questions it, even…

Headline of the day.
Carli Lloyd didn’t exactly take advantage of her opportunities so much as she attempted to force them artlessly into low percentage shots and flubbed the gifts the rest of the team offered her.
I hate this.
Kipping pull-ups aren’t cheating and playing poker with an ace up your sleeve is just a different form of poker.
This critique of Dany’s arc is way off base. This was one throughline that was consistently established, questioned, and tested. It always seemed like it would culminate in a moment where she would put the lessons of her various advisers to practice in Westeros, or revert to her (well-established) inclination toward…
I read them too, and I find it incredibly hard to believe Martin envisioned ending his story at all.
Braves fans were 3-4 years too patient with Bobby Cox and have patiently endured a lot of ownership fuckery without any entitlement. Their success closely follows the timeframe of Detroit as well, with the caveat that appearances aren’t championships.

That’s not an edge case, though. It’s the core case: if it touches your teammate, it’s offside. If it’s played by an opponent, it isn’t.
What part of injury and ensuing addiction during recovery are self-inflicted? I mean, he’s an asshole for cheating on his wife, but the price of that should be divorce. We don’t publicly vilify anybody for cheating the way we did Tiger Woods when his dalliances became public (owing in part to sheer volume of his…
Call me crazy, but I’m beginning to think that maybe tapping a middling government prosecutor whose main qualifications were presidential political ties to lead the players’ union has been a misstep.
Ah, so Schiano Men only quit when their wives discover their mistresses.
“Uninvited” holds up though
do creative dynamos like Shonda Rhimes and Ryan Murphy get huge deals? Do major filmmakers like Martin Scorsese and Ava DuVernay and the Coen Brothers and Alfonso Cuarón and Guillermo Del Toro get paid to make movies
