Frank Reynolds owns a Greek soccer team? Is it sponsored by Wolf Cola?

Lol. Juventus have appeared in two of the past three CL finals. A PL club hasn’t even been in one since 2011-12. I realize that this is 2018 and the Juve roster is depleted compared to what it was in 2014-15, but they are a “small club?” Get the hell out of here. I’m no Tottenham supporter - just that this is a pretty…

Maybe things have changed, but as an uber-casual wrestling fan of the 90's, I was inclined to go to Wrestlemania in 2012 because I happened to be in South Beach when it was happening and felt like it would be a unique experience. We found tickets for $22 each on StubHub.

I’m a relative neophyte to the Deadspin scene, but Giri Nathan has become one of my absolute favorite writers in the sports community in 2017. Of course, two crucial reasons for my increased familiarity with his work were the improbable, almost unthinkable ascents of Federer and Nadal. Those ascents coincided at the…

They outplayed Italy? Meaning that Italy scored a world-class goal on a brilliant ball from Pirlo to Gilardino, Italy conceded when Zaccardo laughably fluffed on an easily defended ball and it trickled into the net for an own goal, Italy hit the crossbar, the U.S. had a goal disallowed because McBride stood a yard+…

All I’ll say is that Kurt Angle beating Sting and Gene Okerlund into the Hall of Fame by 12 years is...a bit of a head scratcher. Hell, Shinsuke Nakamura got in before them. It just seems strange to me. I realize that Sting is often considered a bit of an overrated “what-if” rather than a bona fide superstar, but I’m…

None of the people partaking in this violence are men.

Oh, and thank you to Dom for writing this. I was a little sad to see Enberg’s retirement so overlooked, but it was befitting of his modesty.

For me, the greatest play-by-play announcer of all-time. Called so, so many wonderful events. Later in his career, the Illinois/Arizona Elite 8 game in 2005 will always be synonymous with Enberg...but he’ll always be dear to me for calling the Broncos’ 1997-98 playoff/Super Bowl run. An absolute artist with a…

Edit, whoops: Just watched the full video. I now see that he was offside prior to ever even touching the ball following the initial pass. Makes way more sense now.

I’m a little late to arrive here, but could someone explain to me why this is ruled offside? How is this different than a player who gets free on a 1-on-1 with the keeper, has the ball partially deflected, but follows the ball into the net for the goal? I swear I’ve seen players take touches beyond the keeper/final…

I think you are overlooking the fact that you had the arguably greatest keeper of today’s game (Neuer) and arguably the greatest keeper ever (Buffon) between the nets. That will mess with even the best striker’s composure.
