Under the new system it would be Inter, Roma, and Villareal in.

It would be, I guess, Porto/Monaco/Rostov to miss out? It wouldn’t be fair to those teams, but the overall quality of the clubs participating wouldn’t suffer much, if at all. Roma did not get “hammered.” They were down 2-1 when they got two players sent

Barca won La Liga, Bayern won the Bundesliga, Juve won Serie A, and PSG won Ligue 1, and Real Madrid won the Champions League.

United won the FA Cup and City won the League Cup. That’s basically a 100% strike rate for rich teams snapping up the biggest trophies, both in England and in Europe.

It’s counterintuitive, but a few great teams tend to pull bigger revenue numbers than a lot of good teams—even though parity arguably produces an objectively better product on the field.

In 100 years after climate change has finally re-written the rules of earthly existence, maybe then we’ll be great at soccer.

Toronto is highly overlooked in this respect.

There’s a massive difference between “First Amendment Rights” and “Freedom of Speech.”

The former has to do with government, the latter, just basic human decency and at least some sort of baseline understanding of the fact that, no, I don't have all of the answers. So maybe your dumb opinion isn't so wrong after all.

Katie Ledecky is much, much better at swimming than Bryce Harper is at baseball. I dunno what would be a great comparison, but you’d have to at least put Trout in the pool.

I really don't see the Spanos winning any PR battles with the fanbase, particularly if they have to go the season without a key player over what's essentially a "win four years from now" move.

Dafuck am I missing? “More money this calendar year than any player except one...Carson Wentz.” According to spotrac, he and Jared Goff are making a $450K salary this year. Goff has a first-year signing bonus of $4.6 million, Wentz is $4.4 million. Is spotrac insane? Does Jared Goff have some sort of odd salary

makes u think

There's always the next recruit!

I have to imagine that he could pull a massive salary as a personal trainer, if he's good enough to get the Iowa job to begin with.

They are great!

They should have an Olympics for horses.

I think you might be onto something here...

eh...

Probably a coincidence.

If you are going to argue semantics, you have to at least argue a point where you are not demonstrably wrong.

“Trounce” means you got beaten, badly. It has absolutely fuck-all to do with the quality of the competition. You wouldn’t call it an upset if Germany beats Brazil, 7-1. Why would you call it a trouncing if they

I can assure you that this is not a dead fetus, but a living adult. So...go ahead and google images for a more realistic representation.

Why are people playing the race card? Is there any evidence of him even entering a 5k?

Okay, what do you think a real image would look like?

So we have established that placing 3rd-8th and losing an even matchup counts as a trouncing.
