There really needs to be a larger conversation around mental health resources on college campuses.

The referee-player relationship is probably one of the five biggest storylines of this NBA season for me so far. Refs are clearly fed up with how often players get upset with calls on the court, and I’m sure they aren’t happy with the two-minute reports the league puts out. Players aren’t happy with the way refs have

That’s because if they don’t act like that, their worldview falls apart and they’d be forced to recognize the humanity of the faceless millions they want to screw over with their policies.

Tired: The kid has Chris Paul court vision

You’re crazy if you don’t think Tottenham’s press could cause problems for any team in Europe. Juve will be the favorites, but it’s certainly not going to be a walkover.

Serious question: Is this season a disappointment for City if they don’t lift the Champions League trophy?

Ah gotcha, thanks.

Of course it’s an uphill battle, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea, or shoudn’t be pursued.

I live in Columbus and I’ve lived in St. Louis. St. Louis is far more spread out than Columbus and the light rail there is great. Pretty much the only way I got around while I lived there.

I’ve never really thought about pro/rel from a stadium financing perspective. I guess it all depends on the business structure of the leagues and whatnot, right? Theoretically an owner could still decide to move a franchise if the league allowed it.

I’m well aware of the Smart Cities grant the city secured, and our plan for what to do with it. But it doesn’t include light rail, or even a street car system. Dedicated bus lanes are good, and I hope they open up the city to underserved areas, particularly Lindon, which has the highest infant mortality rate in the

Columbus resident here. I say let them leave. Fuck publicly financing a downtown stadium. There aren’t that many people who live in downtown Columbus, and our city’s public transit system is shit, so most people are still gonna have to drive to games anyway. The city is already starting to deal with blowback from

I’d be totally cool with Tata Martino as our next coach. I think we should go after David Wagner from Huddersfield but that’s just me. I’m gonna cringe if we go with someone from inside the US Soccer program though because it’ll probably mean no real structural changes for the program.

The MLS is absolutely part of the problem. It has stunted the growth of every US star player who’s come back to it. Compare 2010 Michael Bradley to 2014 Michael Bradley. He was an undroppable box to box midfielder for a decent Roma side. He moved to the MLS and turned into a shitty deep lying playmaker who doesn’t

You forgot the most important one: Fuck Bruce Arena. I cannot stand the guy, and the fact that he’s even our coach in 2017 represents criminal mismanagement on the part of US Soccer. I’m also just praying that every MLS apologist soccer outlet will stop pushing the league’s propaganda to such an insane degree now.

I don’t understand why anyone would want to write anything remotely controversial for Barstool. I’ve never seen a media outlet fail to stand by its work or its writers so often.

They didn’t need to press for 90 minutes, just more than 20. If they played the first 10-15 minutes of the second half the way they started the first, when they won most of those corners, I would’ve felt much better about the game overall. All in all, it was a solid performance, but the US really were the better team

Well, that too.

Man that game was frustrating as hell to watch. I know they were just trying to steal a point, but the US very well could have won that game if they had decided to start the second half the way they started the first, and press higher up the field. Mexico didn’t bring their A game and Arena bailed them out by setting
