you have summed up something I’ve been arguing about with friends for years in two sentences. thank you for this argument ender.

Wait, you mean people travel to watch their teams play in the world cup?! Get outta heeere

They all need Simmons’ face

Is Brian LaCroix one of the judges?

I hate all of you and your ability to root for success instead of blind irrational loyalty

Key and Peele need to do an East-West Bowl skit for this shit.

I know the Double KO graphic is from Street Fighter, and Mario the ref is from punchout, but I don’t know where the two dudes hitting each other at the same time is from.

Fuck Billy Joel.

Rob Ryan and the Onion’s version of Joe Biden are probably best friends.

Mortal Kombat Memory: 5 year old me, Playing as Raiden, getting my ass beat by Jax and having my guy’s arms being ripped off. That image still haunts me. I stuck to playing Rampage and X-Men from that day on.

“Blue Jays Bro’s Beer Bashed by Ball”

I dunno, I always thought that Hudepohl's Little Kings were the best pairing of shit Cincy beer with shit Cincy chili.

sorry to disappoint ya

I'm comparing them less on the actual mechanics of the programs but more on the fact that we both throw kids into ultra competitive leagues at really young ages.

So does the team the kid plays for have first dibs on giving him a contract? I'm just curious as to what other benefit the development program has except giving them the "we discovered you, sign with us" pitch once they turn old enough to go pro. I'll be the first to admit that I know nothing about youth development…

oh it is, but it's really the same type of shit aau basketball is. Just for europeans the teams have the rights to the kids from a very early age.

Well fuck me, my hypothetical bets are as shitty as my real ones.

I’m taking the over on that one, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they released the video over easter weekend to soften the blow a little bit.

*shudders*
