When Greg mentioned a team that can counter quickly against high pressure he was referring to Germany. If Loew has his squad right and healthy they will dissect Brazil.

he's channeling his inner Homer Simpson! "Something was said, not good!" Thinks, thinks, thinks, responds after everyone goes home.

There are over 400 billionaires in the world. There are only 30 NBA franchises. The Clippers franchise will sell for well over this amount.

the celebration video came out before the Ghana game. I'll never understand how, with that bit of motivational speech being out there for the taking, Bradley didn't manage to incorporate that into his pregame speech. Had he played that, and said nothing else, we destroy Ghana instead of coming out flatter than…

one thing klinsman preaches is not respecting your opponent on offense and just going at them with what you got. Like, you can't be afraid that it's Brazil and be tentative on the attack. Who better to do that than a bunch of young guys who don't know any better? I love this squad.

this is the squad that will shock the world when they beat Germany. Just you watch. Julian Green will show shades of Michael Owen in France 98.

I read Nate's book and he spends a lot of time chronicling his treatment for various ailments. What was most surprising to me was how quickly he seemed to bounce back from injuries that would sideline mere mortals. They constantly inject him with this or that and provide him pills that are more than just tylenol. …

I wonder what the pay back is on this stadium? 500 mill of private money? I wonder how many kids, or roads, tax breaks, or police officers, could have benefited from that kind of scratch

I hope your public servant pensions are up to date. Just sayin....

sadly, you're right. Athlete activism might be dead. If they put up with corrupt old men killing thousands so they can play a game then I don't think there is a line in the sand out there they would be willing to cross.

the sad truth is, this cup will only move from Qatar if the players take a stand and refuse to play. We need a soccer version of Ray Charles...stand up say we won't play unless working conditions or the location changes. That will never happen but it would be great if they did.

Yes, but him as a clippers fan which was/is similar to other clippers fans experience. That he got to see Sterling "in the wild", so to say (Which, holy cow this guy must be cheap. How many billionaires rough it by flying commercial? These guys hourly value must be in the thousands of dollars...but I digress) is…

I don't know. To me, those interpretations, especially the ones on the plane, are something we all do. I mean, who hasn't thought in their head, "this guy is awful" on a flight? To some extent we all like to be flys on the wall when it comes to seeing how these public figures act in real life. That's the sense I…

Indeed! Doesn't insert himself too much, good pace, interesting story, and funny jokes! Its like he is on Page 2 again in its nascent stages.

Ill say it. This is a great article by Simmons. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Thats why they call it Division, not divorce, around these parts. Basically, if you go down this road, the rule of thumb is this: Stand in front of your house and picture everything you own. Cover the eye that lets you still see what you like. Got it? Doesnt look to bad divided up, does it? Too bad because the…

My buddy has one. He's been riding forever and asked if I wanted to take it for a spin. I dont ride. Not sure he has my best interests at heart. Good thing I know better. Death on a stick right there, mate.

You know, I think you're the first person to put it in those terms. That actually makes a lot of sense.

I cant imagine he would willfully consent to being recorded saying things like that. In CA, you need two party consent. In a court, they would throw it out.

What about the dissenting opinion here? I mean, it was a private conversation that was obtained illegally. Weren't the Gawkerrati all up in arms about the NSA spying scandal? Im not condoning what the sleazeball said, just pointing out that indeed it is a slippery slope if you start taking things away from people…
