Just by sheer volume alone, there has to be a player of Pulisic’s caliber to come out at some point through the system. If the US had a system even remotely close to Europe’s setup, like Klinsmann hoped for, we would be churning out a Pulisic-type player on a yearly basis. THAT is more of the problem with US Soccer’s…

+1 Mango Mussolinis - isn’t that a drink at Tommy Bahamas?

There is zero chance Mango Mussolini can throw his McDonad’s bag in the trash from 3 feet, let alone throw a ball 90 feet.

Here you go:

I get the impression you’ve been waiting a long time to tell this story.

Correction: everybody behind has to slow down because of whomever it is behind this guy that overreacts and brakes when they don’t need to. A gap is a gap, and people who use all of the available road - as in a proper zipper merge - help the greater good by maintaining the flow and keeping these backups short.

The guy…

Kyle Busch is the guy who is generally just a huge asshole, right?

Spring Training: Finally, the Baseball you love without all that Baseball.

it seems like it offers the things I like most about live baseball: Sitting outside in nice weather, eating and drinking, and just absorbing the entire sensory experience—the smells, the sounds—without necessarily caring that much about who wins or loses, or even who plays.

You raise an excellent point - plenty of people fail their way to the top. I was more going for the latter and not trying to make a value statement on Mayer, per se.

Thanks for the comment and page view that justifies Alanis’ continued reporting on NASCAR. And that’s a serious sentiment; her coverage is usually pretty stout.

I’d pay at least $0.75 to stream a trade deadline show where guys like Mike Milbury, Dave Nonis, etc play a sprawling NHL 17 franchise mode and try and swing idiotic trades to each other that get blocked by the CPU.

TEAM SKY IS LOOKING CLOUDY. GODDAMNIT

Perhaps this will finally end the myth that Jackson is some kind of brilliant tactician as a coach. He spent most of his career coaching teams that had one or two of the top 5 players in the league. The ‘triangle’ worked because Jordan and Bryant could either consistently draw double teams to open up other players or…

Aw... thank you! Patrick and I were hoping we weren’t the only ones who found this stuff interesting.

So judging by that really confusing diagram the device using magic allows air to pass through solid materials into the turbocharger.

You couldn’t have saved this for earlier in the season?

My understanding is that a single patty is about 1/8th pounds before cooking, so you need a double just to equate the meat of a single McD's Quarter Pounder. And given price comparison between the two eateries ($1 for a double cheeseburger at McD's vs $1.90 for a single hamburger at I-n-O), I don't know where you're…

For the amount they charge, I was really expecting a much better burger. They aren't bad per say, but they aren't great either. The "animal style" sauce tastes great when I have a hangover, but if I'm suffering pretty badly, I'm more likely to hit a Jack-in-the-Box. Hungover me likes egg rolls and tacos with my…
