And you can bet that US Soccer hates the fact that their best/most/famous/most prolific player ever couldn’t produce shit in a top European league.

That’s correct. Because we watch Pirlo and Gerrard and laugh our asses off. It’s a vacation to them. They know it. Their peers in Europe know it.

What the fuck has happened to us that a fan and player are fighting at a god damn BASEBALL STADIUM over absolutely nothing.

I consider myself to be a normal person. Loved football like a religion for decades.

I haven’t had sex, read a book or gone out to a party in, like, 8 years.

Mid-level tennis matches in far-flung countries are fixed.

Proof for the 5673rd time that kids are fine. Adults fuck them up.

I like watching Colorado vs. Portland before re-reading these kinds of stories and then laughing out loud.

“Rockets got a new coach and new direction”

Oh yeah, I know. It’s just an unfortunately unaesthetic experience that is also used by young journo college students to make their posts seem longer and more “journalism-y.’ Barry is too good for that, so I know it has to be for other reasons.

Whatever the reason - things don’t show up on mobile, blocked access to sites, etc. — I will never get past the 2016 journalism practice of posting someone’s response and then transcribing the response. It just looks funny and unaware.
