Swans already have one of the top keepers in the league who is also a Polish international. Keeper is not what they are lacking. Defense and attacking midfielders with stamina are.

Are we to assume you’re making a connection that MLS players have played for Swansea before? Lots of players from other leagues and countries have played for Swansea, the issue they have now is managerial, given the American representation in the investment group, and their seemingly hasty decision to select an…

Saying things correctly is better than saying them incorrectly.

No “s”. Offside is soccer, offsides is (american) football

His arm is extended at a right angle from his body and the ball would have gone over unless he knocked it in with his (extended from his body) arm.

Offsides.

Small concessions by the MLS and NCAA ignore the fact that fans, players, youth players, and parents are not a true concern and that money is king in our current landscape.

The MLS has yet to give its players true free agency in their employment decisions. The NCAA is the biggest pyramid exploitation scheme in the…

Loathe the Hoodie and the Pats, but he does the single most important thing any football coach at any level can do -- ID the game-winning skills of sub-superstar talent. The quest for “can’t miss” players has already trickled down to the HS level, so the gap between coaches who can deploy flawed players and have them…

I say future Cardinal bullpen catcher.

The year-round coverage for soccer and football are actually pretty similar to the gameplay-to-filler ratio of respective sports’ games themselves.

Definitely used. I watch a fair amount of baseball, plus the Braves, and hear it regularly.

Obligatory

His FIP is 11th in the league and his BABIP isn’t worryingly low relative to his other numbers. He doesn’t walk a lot of guys. He’s already swallowed up 1/4th of his full-season ZiPS value in WAR after four starts and, while his xFIP predicts some of his flyballs are going to turn into home runs, he should still be…

Serious question: should Manfred made that statement against opt outs? Could it expose owners to the kinds of collusion cases they dealt with in the 80's? I mean, if it looks like owners are artificially preventing players from exercising their full rights in being compensated, be it monetarily or in the form of…

The Dodgers “declared bankruptcy” because their owner at the time was a over leveraged idiot going through a divorce and had no cash flow as a result. The bankruptcy allowed them to be sold to a group with actual assets enough to run the team.
