Nothing about the fact that he blew a 0.000 twice?

They can never just say “the man got out of the car and walked around it,” it has to be “the male subject exited the vehicle and then proceeded to walk around it”

He literally says “I was on food stamps and welfare, did anyone help me out? No.”

Who puts their cell phone on the table while dining with the president and a foreign head of state? I mean really.

The first goal was 95% on Trapp. Indecision on the high ball, then muffing it on the second bounce. If a goalkeeper comes off his line, he better at least get a fist on the ball.

While technically a penalty for the reasons you say, it was clearly a professional foul by Neymar, who still had his feet and could easily recover the ball with plenty of space. Instead, he saw the falling defender (who wasn’t even trying to impede Neymar) and intentionally changed his trajectory to trip.

Terrible strategy by PSG, playing to barely squeak through by “not losing too badly.” When a goal in the early going would have changed everything. Also, they just played like shit. Lethargic, not physical at all, lazy. Barcelona pressed the entire game (because they had to) and PSG couldn’t handle it.

They do, when in their judgment there is nobody else that has a play on the ball, or the player in question is challenging for the ball or otherwise interfering with the defense.

Neymar obviously saw a falling defender and intentionally tripped over him. If you don’t see that you’ve never played football.

While in an offside position, he did not commit an infraction, because he did not touch the ball, interfere with any PSG player’s line of sight or ability to play the ball, or otherwise gain an advantage.

This is true, not saying they don’t impart information that I don’t know and that might actually be interesting. But if I’m that keen to know how many TFL Booger Arbuckle has or whatever, I can just look it up. Usually I don’t give a crap at all. But some people like that obviously.

All it tells me (as does the wiki article on that game) is that 1980's football broadcasts were shit compared to modern HD, with constant time bugs, yellow first down lines, and a hundred cameras showing literally everything you would possibly want to see in the game. Why do I need beautiful little man Joe Buck…

Give the option, and see what people watch. It can’t be that expensive or complicated to just have a “mute” button for the clowns in the booth.

They can fill that dead time with 30 by 30 and game reruns, and yes, lumberjack competitions and other random ass sports from around the world. SportsCenter is okay too, but all you really need for that is good highlights and generally fungible anchors—no need to pay some goober $1M to deadpan “witty” catchphrases.

Years ago before the internet my local cable company had an “international” channel that would broadcast Italian Serie A soccer games. For a few amazing weeks, the Italian announcers went on strike (lol) and so there was nothing but crowd noises. It was eye (ear?)-opening. Since then I have wished for the ability to…

Maybe I am alone in this, but does anyone give a shit about the talking heads? Like if the network started a new channel—ESPN Pure or something, let the marketing pukes come up with the name—where there is literally nothing but sports being broadcast without idiotic arguing or “story weaving” or human interest or even…

Ahem. “Palmetto Bugs”

It’s both.
