Option 1: NBA changes its rules to eliminate this, followed by teams finding other loopholes, followed by more changes, followed by more loopholes.

that guy using the phrase “on fleek” marks the official death of the phrase.

this from a guy whose handle supports a team with a neo-fascist zeitgeist.

the RFEF and the LFP are two entirely different orgs—which don’t even get along. and Piqué has publicly stated his pride in being part of the cup-winning 2008, 2010, and 2012 La Roja teams. and even if the RFEF had any influence, they don’t give a crap about Espanyol. so...no.

the Marca:AS :: Pérez:Calderón (or whatever opposition actually exists these days) is pretty remarkable.

Same. But...I’d probably do a better job if I had a multi-million dollar contract with the richest club on the planet. Or at least I hope I would.

Sergi Roberto and Iniesta were MVPs (just ask Michael Cox). Piqué, Busquets, and Jordi Alba played the whole game. Messi and Munir came on.

Strong man in Madrid with centralized power and a rather despotic leadership style hoping that Real Madrid can be the publicity of his greatness. Sounds...pretty appropriate. And nostalgic.
