Also, headline is misleading. Jozy didn’t lead anyone to shit. He’s a lifetime lazy poacher. That goal was entirely the result of two Sounder defenders forgetting everything they learned in U12 about marking. Jozy happened to be standing there when it happened.

The other day he was asked about Harvey Weinstein and whether the AH tape was any different, and he trotted out the old “that was locker room...that was locker room” excuse. But that left only two possibilities, and still does so: Either (a) he was bragging truthfully, in which case he’s a horrible human being; or (b)…

I’d argue that Jozy is just butt.

“Would Jozy Altidore be a better player now had he perservered in the EPL rather than back to MLS?”

This was one of those games where you were so bored that you drifted off to sleep on the couch, and you woke up with a start because you were snoring so loudly that you even woke yourself up, and after a few groggy seconds realized the TV was on, and you remembered you had been watching a football game, but you…

CNN/MSNBC seem to be doing a reasonable job of covering how shitty the response to the disaster in PR has been. But reporters need to point out the utter disconnect between Trump’s ridiculous utterances as it relates to PR (I know, it’s been done and ignored by him and his base in other contexts):

Likewise Thiem. Absolutely shit the bed vs. Del Potro.

I was finally going to start believing in Dmitrov when he won a few weeks ago. And then he flamed out at the Open. Zverev went all conservative and did the same. Very disappointing. Dear God, I hope we don’t end up with a Del Potro v. Anderson final. Love DP’s comeback from injury and his fight through illness, but…

Raonic seems like a great guy, works hard. GOD so boring to watch. Shapo appears occasionally prone to tantrums (although nowhere near the Kyrgiosphere), but I could watch that backhand and court coverage all day.

Bigger story (and I am a long-time Fed fan) may be how Fed’s apparent issues (which could all go away in the next round) affect the psychology of the draw. Nadal has looked pretty damn mortal in recent weeks. If Fed’s back issues are still hanging around, those two things combined with all the other injuries in the…

WTF....Brian?? Track nerd here, but where does “Brian” even come from there?

Also: Roxy Music, Avalon.

Also: Roxy Music, Avalon.

Most irksome that the ESPN headlines following the men’s final were “Nick Kyrgios loses Cincinnati final, eyes US Open with Confidence,” and “Still trying to make sense of Nick Kyrgios.” I am no Dmitrov fanboy, but he played steadier and smarter through the entire match, and yes, his defense was unbelievable at times…

Nope. He’s racist. He can be self-serving and still be a virulent racist. Dad was a KKKer, company sued for discrimination (and then violated the settlement agreement), called Mexicans racist, insulted a judge over his race, appointed Jeff Sessions, refers to “the blacks” (etc.), attacked a Muslim Gold Star family…

I will settle for more interesting tennis. I am very much not a fan of the Raonic/Cilic/Isner model that has been fashionable for awhile. Giant serves from giants, followed by not much else, has been killing tennis.

He actually cares about the match he’s in. That alone makes him a more compelling story than Kyrgios, and he’s got the same combo of size, ranginess and shot-making going for him. Shapo’s reaction when he beat Nadal was priceless. My money is on Zverev/Shapo being one of the key rivalries over the next 5-7 years,…

My point is that the Trump-right successfully diverted much of the attention away from Trump’s active courting of actual present-day Nazis to a gauzier, less Trump-specific debate about confederate statutes in public places. I don’t disagree they’re abhorrent and ought to be removed. My point was how he successfully…

Sigh. The whole “debate” over statutes is a diversion. It was intended to be a diversion. Charlottesville was never about statues. They were a McGuffin for Nazis. Charlottesville was about a bunch of Nazis who would like to resurrect plans to eradicate an entire people from the face of the earth, and enslave,…

Founding father statutes are not CURRENTLY BEING VENERATED by a group (or collection of groups) who CURRENTLY want to subjugate, segregate or eradicate at least one race and one religion-based population. Confederate statues are.

I live in Boise and am travelling to Idaho Falls (my dad’s there). Gotta get that last 0.3%, you know.
