Me: Billy wrote a new article on soccer, let’s see if he’s actually got anything interesting or at least factual to say

Speculation that Christian Pulisic replaces Neymar at Barça is peak silly season.

Dier, too, is priced at a nearly unbelievable level—£60 million reportedly—but Spurs also don’t desperately need him like they do Kane or Dele. The versatile, defensive-minded Dier is part of both a talented midfield that includes Victor Wanyama, Moussa Dembélé, and promising youngster Harry Winks, as well as a…

Lines like this are why I read this column.

How would NBC acquire the FA Cup? Oh yeah, they’d pay money for it. But fuck them for not then giving it to you for free? I don’t understand this mind set to be honest. EPL simply costs an extra $6 a season now. That’s dirt cheap. How dare they run their business like a business?

You nailed it. The dumbest thing newspapers ever did 20 years ago was start putting their content online for free. They figured it was a tiny fraction of readers and better to build the page views rather than charge for it. Problem was, a decade later when the tipping point was reached where now the majority of…

Oh come on! http:www.Sketchy.Virus.RU always has the matches you need.

At some point, shouldn’t some of this stuff be sniffed out by readers without needing triple checked sources? Henry Cavill receiving $14 million for Man of Steel with only The Tudors and Immortals as his prior big roles just doesn’t make sense logically and shouldn’t get past a skeptical mind.

It destroys the flow and emotion of the match...

I got to the point where I saw the picture of the offsides, thought to myself how clearly offsides he was and non-controversial it would be to get the call correct and overturn, then thought “this must be a Billy article, because it’s shit”, and low and behold I scrolled up and guess who wrote it.  

Also, this is the Confederations Cup, and the entire point of this tournament (which is otherwise meaningless) is to test out a nation’s facilities for the World Cup and to test out new rules and such. So, what better place to test the new replay system for the first time than this tournament? It’s quite literally…

Officer: “Spell your name”

I didn’t check the author but realized it was Billy the instant he went for the cap. The NHL has a completely different issue by being a sport nobody plays in their youth due to the high barriers to entry (equipment costs are ridiculous, not many people have conveniently located ice rinks) and it is hard to be a fan…

So, you’re a futbol guy, right Billy? Respectfully, the Premier League (which is usually the go-to comparison in these situations) is a competitive wasteland, exactly because there is no parity. It works great, as long as you are a fan of one of The Chosen Teams (or have absolutely no rooting interest at all).

Remember when you were a Gunner?

A plea like this is always followed by a spin wipe, some wacky theme ditty, and a reveal that Madrid has won the first leg 3-0. Don’t taunt the soccer gods.

Hey, look, a derby where the team in all white eviscerated their (normally) red-and-white-clad local rivals!

I am not interested in this. But I don’t care if other people are.
