Man, if someone did that to me on a tennis court I’d definitely throw my New Balances at him.

I was watching the game, and they showed several other replay angles that made it very clear the ball hit his foot; the umpires went to review it, came back and let the call stand, leading to a very angry conversation w/ the Red Sox manager.

This is fair

The third foul on Lebron and the second on Horford were prime examples of exactly when refs should let ticky-tacky shit go. Both were probably *technically* fouls, but in both cases they put someone in foul trouble (Horford’s second coming about halfway thru 1Q, IIRC), but neither really did anything to change the…

Not to condone violence, but...

I think it’s pretty clear Ross wants more money than Everton wants to give him, and is comfortable winding his contract down because he thinks he can move to a bigger club. His talent would argue that he’s obviously right, but his performances (unless other teams are interested in oodles of potential derby red cards)…

I’m just hoping that they’ll be able to knock down a few more of the open jumpers (and layups, FFS) that they bricked last night; combine that with the slightest bit of regression from LeBron, and the Celtics *might* have a punchers chance.

Man, I’m just saying Nadal is better on clay than anyone else has ever been on any other surface.

I’m no Nadal fanboy, but the man has lost twice at Roland Garros in his entire damn career and has the most French Open titles ever - more than Fed or Sampras have at Wimbledon and, lest we forget, underwent a pretty impressive mid-career change to beat Fed at Wimbledon when he was in his prime, which is something…

Unless you’re (also) coming with a Chris Evert take, I’m genuinely confused about what you’re loling at.

Chris Wondolowski Is A Crime Against Soccer

Yeah I definitely resented Rossi’s choice to represent Italy at the time, and while I’ve surprised myself with my empathy for him as he has struggled with injuries over the past 5-6 years... he’s a far, far cry from “beloved”

I’m perplexed by people who use the crappiness of Westbrook’s supporting cast is to support him as MVP, yet refuse to acknowledge how mediocre the non-Harden Rockets are. Coming into the season, were people really convinced that Ryan Anderson, Clint Capela, and Eric Gordon were definitely better than Victor Oladipo,…

Sprinting to cover first/backup the catcher on throws home?

Iago Aspas would like a word

A professional athlete whose position doesn’t require running more than 45-90 feet at a time very often.

Adam Lallana actually provides pretty consistent defensive support these days, although I suppose it’s up for discussion whether his manic pressing up the field would translate into tracking back in a more traditional system.

I’m perfectly fine with Howard being the guy in the short term. It’s not ideal, but Guzan hasn’t exactly inspired me recently (although I think he’s adequate on most days and, thanks to his Aston Villa days, is doubtless accustomed to being absolutely bombarded with shots for 90 minutes, which could come in handy the…
