Jesus, stop it already. The problem is not VAR. The problem is people bitching when their team loses, which VAR is meant to solve (or at least show evidence that FIFA was attempting to adjudicate the game fairly and according to the rules). The City goal being wiped out to offsides is just that - it’s the rule.

I’m not sure you could reasonably argue that the ones on the Orioles’ 40-man roster are currently on a major league team’s roster now.

God bless Javy Baez.

Spurs would be giant idiots to ditch Poch, but chances are good he walks on his own once an actual good job opens up. No way was he going to United - that back office is every bit as dysfunctional as Spurs but in a totally different and completely unhealthy way. Real Madrid should have backed the Brinks truck up to…

I used to watch Wasps games just to watch Christian Wade. That motherfucker is just electric. If he doesn’t make the team, it’ll be a shame because all he needs is a few inches of space to just light up the field. Of course, being the Bills, if he does make the team, I’m sure he’ll be replaced for some whitebread guy…

All the fucking stars, my son.

Anyone suggesting Lukaku was slow is a fucking idiot that doesn’t watch football. Yeah, he looks like a lumbering bollard, but he can turn it on when he wants to. Nobody on United should be tossing stones about their speed - that team played at the speed of nacrolepsy for most of the season. I find it hilarious that…

My most favorite LOLARSENAL moment of the day was finding out they pissed away 8 million pounds on David Luiz. I mean, I guess he’s better with the ball than any defender they have left on the roster, but holy shit is his actual defending suspect as hell. I’ve watched him for years, with both club and country, and I…

That shit is not normal and I’m amazed that any corporation anywhere would think this was proper behavior for any employee, much less a leader. Then I look at the way the video game industry treats “crunch time” and think there is something really fucking wrong with a business mentality that considers self-destructive…

One of the things I worried about as a Cubs fan after the World Series win was their pitching. Their team-building ethos seemed to be “draft the best position players in the world, sign veteran starters with a history of postseason wins, then count on pure luck and the waiver wire for bullpen.” It hasn’t worked. Their…

I love the look he gives Smith at the end like... “bitch, please.”

United’s biggest problem at attracting big players right now is their manager. There’s nothing wrong with Ole as a manager, but he’s hardly a managerial signing that inspires players to want to play for him. Players will go to Liverpool or Man City because of the reputations of Klopp and Pep. When Mourinho first got…

We Packers fans are going to look back WISTFULLY on the days of McCarthy/Rodgers. What’s likely to happen now that Rodgers body will likely not allow him to improvise at MVP levels is that he will inevitably get killed from running all day and never even attempted the passes he used to get away with so easily. I have…

The Pepe signing was good, but until they upgrade their defense, they are going nowhere. Losing Koscielny would have to be a big loss even though he’s hurt much of the season anyway. It’s clear that their defense is weak even with him and without him, it is disastrous. None of their signings so far will fix that and I…

Cincy? What the fuck does Cincy need a veteran pitcher for at this moment? Do they really think they are one piece away from contending in the Central or wild card?

Goddamn. Who did Stroman piss off to cause this calamity?

It’s kind of amazing how bad both Mariotta and Winston have been. Mariotta’s excuse seems to be his skeletal and muscular systems both have the tensile strength of chewed bubble gum, while Winston’s are that he is a notoriously pigeon-brained dolt who doesn’t understand the concept of consent. Also, Mariotta has had…

I’m pretty sure Richie Incognition is just the last beta test version of the Venom serum before they perfected it and created Bane.

In the context of the preseason friendlies existing merely to make the clubs money, Asensio’s injury is practically irrelevant to the club. The entire starting eleven of both Arsenal and Real Madrid could suffer season-ending injuries in one of these games, and both clubs would still be getting just as much TV revenue…

Le Betard has consistently been a decent dude at this whole sports talk stuff. I give him about a week before ESPN shitcans him. They clearly don’t deserve him anymore.
