Dembele is black and Barcelona is still Barcelona - he can’t be the heir.

Well he doesn’t have to think he is a snowflake with so many BS calls against him.

I think he was just genuinely beaten by the pace of the strike combined with a slight lack of concentration. At that distance he didn’t expect the shot and by the time he thought to react it was already past him.

D.C. United drops upwards of $3.5 million plus a seven-figure salary to sign Paul Arriola today. LA drops $8 million to bring Carlos Vela to an expansion team. Dom Dwyer gets sold (between two MLS teams!) two weeks ago for $1.5 million.

Hey which year is that photo from. Is it from 2014 when RM won the Champions League?

This is your basic boring iceberg-and-shredded-veggies salad, undressed, dumped on a plain slice or, if the purveyor is a real monster, just on a baked pizza shell. Arugula pizza isn’t usually a…

So we ignore Armstrongs 7 tour wins but Indurian still remains in that group? Performance enhancing drugs have been prevelant in cycling since the very beginning, hell, Fabio Casartelli in 1903 probably keeled over due to performance inhancing drugs.

If they had gunpowder, they wouldn’t be shooting arrows and beating each other with swords...

Lauren’s stuff last couple weeks was a breath of fresh air. But yes, the fact that Billy still headlines Deadspin’s soccer coverage is ludicrous

“Neymar is currently the world’s second-best player”
