Because he’s not doing it with the false modesty that somebody like Archie Manning would. We love that false modesty thing.

First and third goals were clearly deliveries into the box. You can tell by the reactions of the players.

Sliding. Awfully difficult to slide into a flat spot and then allow you to hold the bag. The modern bases are awfully stiff along with being anchored into the ground. The bases could be more forgiving while remaining raised for purposes of sliding.

I’m sure it benefits its members with some campaign donations. Most DAs are elected after all.

As good of a goalscoring record as Ramos has accumulated from the center half position, it pales in comparison to that of Ronald Koeman. Koeman was regularly one of the leading scorers during trophy-filled PSV and Barcelona seasons. Both had a penchant for showing up during the big moment, but Koeman was the far…

“Yankees’ Fascist Hair Policy” sounds like a fantastic name for a punk band, fantasy baseball team, Deadspin commenter or all of the above.

Cavani’s goal was the biggest swing in momentum I can remember in a game. A 4-0 scoreline was always a possible, no matter how unlikely, result. 6-1 just seemed silly. 3-0 and it seemed almost assured. Cavani’s goal just devastated the crowd and the players. You could just feel the Camp Nou sink. PSG celebrated…

I’ve long maintained that Grace Kelly was the most beautiful woman who ever lived since seeing this film and “Dial M for Murder”.

Spanish nouns are sex-specific. “Puto” is the male noun of “puta”. Both mean prostitute, amongst other things, for the respective sexes. But male prostitutes are often associated with homosexual activities. So calling one a “puto” is in effect using a homophobic slur.

Agreed. I thought Wanyama was the bully of a defensive mid that they’ve needed since never replacing Gilberto Silva.

Waxed Chelsea 3-0 @ the Emirates earlier in the season before Santi got injured.

I just don’t see that this as necessarily punishment. It was a big game against Liverpool, no doubt. They also have the return leg of the Champions League against Bayern on Tuesday. The tie may be all but gone, but they’re still going to put their best eleven on the pitch to do everything they can to try to rescue…

Or maybe we should just let the players speak for themselves rather than fueling controversy-laden narratives that are based on nothing more than speculation by the media that has given us such amazing breaking stories such as Diego Costa heading to China in the middle of a title challenge.

That’s good to know. I’m drawing from my network of friends and fellow alumni. I think the stadium is a misguided endeavor. There’s obviously no bright lines to be drawn between who does and doesn’t support the stadium. I just seem to see our alumni as no different from any other school outside of the Ivies and gain a…

I know not one alumnus who was upset with the idea of the stadium. No doubt, there were large portions of the faculty and community members in Fort Collins who were upset, but the vast majority of alumni can’t wait to buy tickets to attend games at the new stadium. They all think it’s the key to them getting invited…

Nightmare scenario of showing up to a game and being seated next to that dude.

Also amazing is Jusuf Nurkic’s massive father who’s a policeman and reportedly got Jusuf discovered when an agent read a story in the local paper about him beating up some drunkards:

Three is just wasteful. You probably grew up in a penthouse on Park Ave. Goddamn aristocrats.

They’re also two guys that are trying to will their teams to heights that they don’t deserve given their talent. They both try to do too much, but it’s not like there’s other guys on their teams that are capable of doing much more offensively.
