Perhaps I’m giving them too much credit, yes, but it sure seemed like a calculated effort to sit back and let fatigue set in - and, as the one goal of the game indicated (to me, anyway) they were fatigued, and getting pulled out of their defensive alignments.

Wasn’t 4 guys watching one guy with the ball the prime style of NBA play for like a whole decade?

I thought it was fairly obvious that El Tri was sitting back and letting the US wear themselves out in the first 30 minutes, knowing that there’s zero depth for the USMNT to rely upon. I watched, kinda-sorta hoping that somehow they’d do the improbable, but it wound up being 100% my actually-expected result.

As everyone else will no doubt point out, he would have disqualified a voter registration for a similar mistake. I hope he goes through with it and pitches the race to the D side.

Damn, that’s a good song. I admit I’ve never paid any attention to him, but I might have to just because I dig that song - great production, too.

 Gee Ricky, sorry your mom blew up.

Counterpoint: fuck you.

Hmm:

As a Yankees fan, I always assumed Paul O’Neill was likely an awful human being, basically because 99% of white baseball players fit that description.

Here’s betting he’s one of those people who says “well, I don’t like Donald Trump, but...” and then goes on to at least tacitly support everything that rotting pumpkin does anyway because he’s a feckless Republican. (I know, a redundant description.)

Setting aside that games would possibly have to be played in surface-of-the-sun-like conditions, wouldn’t summer be the best time for a secondary football league? The only competition is MLB, which is most decidedly not football, and I guess a few weeks of the Olympics every four years; part of the problem with a…
