I was really hoping they would come out in a 4-5-1 so they could play Nagbe and Pulisic, and Klinsmann would still be able to throw his man Beckerman out there. I understand Dempsey is at his best when he’s got a strike partner, but Wondolowski could score a hat trick tonight and I still might not forgive him for that…

I went to a practice round of the US Open at Bethpage a while back, and I’ll never forget seeing John Daly. He was on the green, putting with one hand and smoking a cigarette with the other, all while talking on the phone, pressing it to his ear with his shoulder.

Thank you for including the 3/4 court, behind the back, bullet pass. That’s one of my very favorite basketball videos, along with these:

This is the very best bird

What if I told you, an old, white, former baseball player held some extremely objectionable views about minorities, science, and evolution.

God damn. Well at least they’re protecting the integrity of the game. I just wouldn’t feel comfortable watching 19 year old kids make more money than me with those students not devoting enough time to their studies.

Question: If Cardale or some other college athlete were to star in some local car commercial saying something along the lines of, “Hi, I’m Cardale Jones, famous twitter person” and not make any allusions to the fact that he’s Ohio State’s quarterback, would that be allowed? Or are they just not allowed to work any…

I just shouted “THANK YOU” at my computer for the ‘Hinkie muses on the mysteries of player development’ paragraph. That’s been my biggest beef with the whole “process.” If they’re just running through D-league players on 10-day contracts for their last roster spot or two, why not sign a veteran to help these kids be…

I understand the argument you’re making, but it totally ignores pretty much everything about identifying as trans. Also, the thing that worries you most about transgender rights is the plot to “Juwanna Mann” playing out IRL?
