He regrets that Courtney Smith spoke and Brett McMurphy reported it.

That amount of money can continue to fail when it is spent and utilized that poorly...epecially with the huge money spent at City being handled in the opposite way. 

On the one hand, City doing that without 3 of their best (also Jesus and Silva) is impressive.

The problem is the helmet. It only serves as a weapon and not a safety device. The helmet provides protection from cuts, abrasions and minor bruises. The helmet is what causes the subconcussice hits and it is what allows the players to tolerate these hits.

Sane wasn’t left off for Ozil. They play different positions, attacking mid vs winger. Ozil was hardly the problem with Germany. 

In his prime? At 33?

In the US Open the penalty for intentionally stopping the ball is DQ. Full stop.

There are degrees of cheating and Phil at the US Open was not as egregious Singh or Zinger or Player etc. He should have disqualified himself from the US Open because he knew his intent at the time and intent was the reason for DQ.

Belgium-Brazil was but Belgium-France is a close 2nd. With that said, those 3 squads aren't worlds better than England and Croatia who both will have a shot if they make it through. 

Courtois was arguably the best keeper in the tournament along with Neuer and de Gea. Of course Courtois is the only one left.

Most of the roster in subpar South American leagues?

I’ve wondered if I was the only person that could see this. Jesus simply didn’t work as their striker. Firmino may have been overshadowed by Salah this year but he is no joke (same for Mane btw).

I would like to see an analysis of where the 52 seconds came from. The cars weigh about the same amount. The 956 officially had around 600hp but I’ve heard somewhere between 1000-1200 was on tap. That would put power to weight about on par with the 919.

More importantly, active aero. I’m not sure what the active aero consisted of, but I believe it may have even been mapped active aero which is even more effective than reactive active aero.

+1 on Firmino. He is playing better than Jesus right now and IMO he is a better striker. I like Jesus better on the wing.

Coutinho is an absolute stud. It was huge mistake for him to not make the 2014 squad. I know he was young, but he was already looking better than Oscar at that point. I said it back in 2014, I believe even in the Deadspin comments. Brazil needed better connection in the middle and Countinho was already that guy at 22.…

The best part of that match was watching Korea counter aggressively instead of just parking the bus and clearing. More than anything, I think Germany was shocked that Korea would stand up to them like that. The Germans weren’t able to bully the Koreans around like they expected.

Based on my extensive medical background*, the proper treatment for neck pain is a fat bump of coke chased by a full Xanax tab and 3-6 beers.

So far, 110 out of 111 brains of former NFL players submitted for autopsy have shown CTE. So only 99%.

He was diagnosed with stage 1 CTE. There are 4 stages with different levels of cognitive symptoms. I believe they base the stage diagnosis on the amount of tau protein buildup done brain tissue examination post mortem.
