A brilliant financial move. He either becomes a star in Europe or he’s guaranteed a ton of money as a big-name USMNT Designated Player in MLS in a few years.

The delicious irony is now that Taubman is himself, in baseball terms, an undervalued asset, no other team will hire him because they’re supposedly bad at analytics (which apparently just means being willing to overlook the fact that he’s a complete asshole).

Needs U2 and REM somewhere on there, just to make everyone feel old as shit.

What we’re here to discuss now is how NYCFC have fallen in the conference semifinals four years running, and their particularly bad record at home.

It’s frustrating that the NFL can’t be more progressive like the PGA Tour and open up a hotline so viewers can report penalties directly to the league. Talk about a way to let your fans do your work for you.

A look at the 1999-00 and 2000-01 Miami Heat rosters is a great exercise in the Remembering of Guys.

Whither Samkon Gado?

Love it when brands get burned going into business with so-called foreign country experts who name their marketing companies after Ayn Rand novels.

I like to think Wilson succeeded because he didn’t have to listen to Brian Schottenheimer.

As craven as the NBA’s capitulation is, I do find some hilarity in the idea of a bunch of MAGA losers embracing Moreyball - the Papa John’s of basketball - to “own the libs.”

Pretty on-brand for the Rockets not to defend anything.

Cy-onara.

The Washington Football Team is like football Maven.

Truly a time to kill for Grisham. 

Nothing more American than being wrong, I guess.

Between this and Doctor Dao, United is the Vontaze Burfict of airlines.
