It’s not even that serious. I’m fine with ugly basketball. Hell, I’m a huge fan of the 90s Knicks teams! The problem is the same problem that has seeped into all other areas of society: shame is no longer a mitigating factor.

Kids, your school is safe as shit.

VAR needs to be on a contingent basis. Only if a referee is unsure on a call should it be reviewed.

Show me that Solid Snake, chid

It’s amazing that she doesn’t yet have a role in the Trump Administration.

You stick your fingers up a guy’s butt in a nationally televised game and suddenly that’s all you’re known for.

It should just read Holeazo!

I laughed in disbelief when they actually chose Beckie for the penalty and haven’t really stopped since.

Heath has never had speed. I think she’s quicker with the ball at her feet, though. But she’s not the one I want running down balls over top.

“Well, we’re pretty sure she can’t hurt it any worse”

The lack of Pugh and Press on top of a visibly gimped Morgan was very noticeable throughout (at her age, Lloyd’s best as the fresh-leg sub for the last 10-20 minutes, so I don’t mind her coming on until late). They escaped today, but less than optimal lineups will definitely make the climb to the finals harder. No…

Man, these guys really won’t defend anything.

The issue with video, across all sports right now, is that it’s not being used to confirm or see a “blatantly missed” error. From football to baseball to basketball to soccer, video’s being used to find reasons to disallow scoring (catches, possession, etc) more often than what it’s being used for.

sometimes i’d rather have the occasional horse shit call in soccer than wait 5 minutes after every single goal to review if a player was 8 inches offside or a bit of contact was made but went unseen.

Callaway isn’t mellow.

Reporters are so soft now. I remember the days of Herbert McGoo, Joe Dribbler, Dick Frank, Johnny Johnson, Big Jim Pincus, Wally Habbermaster, and their ilk. They’d get a quote out of ty Cobb or honus Wagner if it meant a fight. If you thought you could throw McGoo out of the clubhouse he would patiently oblige and…

Neville doesn't care about the children.  An entire generation of kids had to grow up watching him try to play professional soccer. 

A bear in the closet. And during pride month?!?!

So I only watch bits and pieces here and there, but my impression is that the overall skill and entertainment level is noticeably higher than even 8 years ago. Am I right or is it just an illusion?

This is stupid and ultimately useless and I love it so much. Now I know how my girlfriend feels.
