heads up for the Copa Libertadores tomorrow night. two games, the South American equivalent of the Champions League is in its final 8. I just watched for the first time last week (via shitty stream) and was absolutely hooked. unmatched atmosphere and great competitiveness and passion. it's got similar characteristics…

It is important for Arsenal and Tottenham of course. just saying there are more teams with a chance at a title alive in the NHL/NBA while this is for a berth in the playoff stage for the Champions League. plus the Copa Libertadores is in the final 8! I wrote on my kinja page about it in case anyone wants to see about…

yes that is a good answer. 2 years ago I would have been clueless on these kinds of things, now I can skip past these types of articles because I've been following it so closely. looking at it as a kind of intro to soccer makes more sense, and I'm glad it's happening.

I do think ESPN's coverage is really improving. Copa del Rey final live was great, plus they are adding a daily show covering the world of soccer soon. The coverage for US in Azteca was brilliant. I didn't have that many complaints about Fox, they did well for the time they had it, but NBC should do much better with…

I understand soccer and love it much more than the NBA. however Copa Libertadores was the big event this week. I just can't get that fired up about Arsenal vs Tottenham for the 4th Champions League spot. I cared more about the Copa del Rey, plus the final is next week which kind of overshadows the fight for a playoff…

not saying we should get more NBA, just asking why the EPL gets this kind of coverage?

why do we get these long previews and recaps of EPL action and never for any other sport? NHL and NBA playoffs are ongoing but there is nothing near this for those sports which have more at stake.

this needs to be broadcasted why? some dumb stereotypical jokes by 19 year olds is now front page news?

how come we get these straightforward, descriptive articles about Premier League only? I don't remember any sport ever being covered like this on Deadspin ever. no snark, no personal essay, just long descriptions of what has happened and what is happening. it seems like a totally different site than the rest of…

yes, they had the weapons ready and couldn't wait for the first people to come out saying they didn't approve of homosexuality and were ready to call for those people to be fired.

what does "let him off the hook" mean? they asked him to share his opinion and he did, as did LZ Granderson. should he be punished for having a viewpoint that the majority doesn't agree with?

also can someone explain this new review process for comments? it seems like a lot of times if the comments are negative they just get left in the awaiting review stage. is the point to censor comments the authors don't like or to avoid spam?

so if you can't say you disapprove of homosexuality (Chris Broussard) and you can't say you don't care about a player's sexuality (Francesa) that means you have to come out and say you are happy about this and it's a big deal or you are wrong?

what a silly title. this is about 10% of the way to a good post, but is a great idea for one. you'd have to look at every year from 1998-2008 or so (not pick 2 randomly) and compare everyone who ranks draft prospects not just one person. how are we supposed to know if Kiper is good or bad with nothing to compare it…
