This was magnificent. Thank you.

First I’ve heard of Lasorda working behind the scenes to get Depodesta fired. Sources? Not challenging or being a dick; genuinely curious to know.

Not the Eagles. Chicago.

France is at least a goal better than USWNT and they were better than Germany. Man, soccer is just cruel.

Even the assholes from Entourage are looking at that photo and thinking, “Now that’s a douche!”

In the case of Love, I’d sa yes but in the case of Bosh, I’d say no—he’s a terrific wing defender, can get up and block shots and as for him being good only when the team lacks other options, let’s not forget Bosh won rings on a team that had (ahem) pretty damn good options.

D. Very early in the season when they realized he could only put up big numbers if he was option numero uno. If he’s not the primary guy, he’s a 16/10 forward who can’t play defense.

Watched this so many damn times. Great, great stuff.

Not to be contrarian (okay, I’m about to be) but it is entirely feasible that Rivers and others had trades in place that were nixed at the last by the Donald.

I might’ve misread your first post—was it the Lee film you found awful or the Norton? I liked the Norton one and was *horrified* by the Lee version.

I liked it (ducks). Seriously—great ending fight scene, lots of Hulk doing Hulk things... I mean, I paid money to see the one Ang Lee directed so maybe I’m a little biased because I knew, just knew, nothing was going to be worse than that.

You right.

Argentina has a terrific “supporting cast”—not an awful team in any respect. The last world cup, Messi was clearly not at 100%, Aguero was playing hurt while Germany enjoyed peak health and still Argentina came very, very close. Your other points are vaild but even without Messi, Argentina is a helluva team. You can’t…

Timofey Mozgov is a large man who is good and Joey Crawford is a small man who sucks.

In the 70’s, we saw a number of triple crown winners. After Spectacar Bid, most thought we’d see t least a few more before the turn of the century. It was a given a super horse would come around every few years or so. I was sixteen at the time.

Patrice Evra, talking all week about how Suarez would “know” he was there, decided to ball watch at the absolute worst time imaginable.

For your consideration, may I present Mr. Wally Backman.

He made a horrible choice and self-reported what he did. The Angels looked at the situation and instead of helping thought, “Hey! We have an opportunity to get out of a contract we never should have signed in the first place!” If Hamilton was producing for Anaheim, there is zero chance the Angels would have tried to…

1:22 to win, 3:38 to place. Lord, what a goal.

He's highly recommended and this time he's got a superstar to work with.
