I’m glad Ray Hudson wasn’t calling this. I like Ray and he absolutely would’ve stroked out.

Actually, that’s not true. The Nuggets were every bit as good after he left.

All three of those teams got worse—in some cases markedly worse—after Karl was let go. Is that because they had to take a few years to recover from Karl’s damaging influence? Look, he may be bad *now* but his past record is pretty solid.

Obligatory.

Karl’s comments about Curry are not nearly as acerbic as the initial tweet from Ellington made them out to be. Maybe Curry deleted the tweet because he found out what Karl actually said?

What is the best/most memorable sporting event you’ve ever seen live?

No shit? I coached in a low, low level youth league 8 years ago (my son wanted to play and I got roped in to coaching) and I never heard it. I heard (and said!) a lot of other dumb things but I haven’t heard follow your shot on the west coast in years.

The parallels to soccer are there. The most popular sport in the world was run in such a nakedly corrupt way but it was just assumed for years nobody could do anything about it other than point and laugh. That’s how I’ve always felt about track and field. Somehow, FIFA finally became a priority of law enforcement and…

All I can think about is every youth coach in the 70's screaming, “Follow your shot!” God, I’m old.

My favorite part of his goals is how hard they carom off the back of the net. Damn, what a player.

Jesus fuck, guys. The title was a question. And the way City looked back then, it was a legitimate one to be asking.

From the attached article. I wouldn’t mind if Peskind and his friends were named and shamed.

D’Angelo shot over 50% last night so, no, I don’t see the resemblance. The rest of your post? Hot taek, good kinja.

In the mugshots above, who is the guy to our right of Tupac Shakur?

Mild counterpoint from someone who has watched every Man City match since Aguero came to the team: he doesn’t dive. I actually wish he did; wouldn’t get hurt as much.

“Shut up.”
