Or what lavelle is doing at 11, every single boy (even the “nonathletic ones”) in these European and South American countries are doing at 5... I really hate the “athlete” argument, our players (men) are not outmatched athletically, we are outmatched by skill and coaching and cultures where putting a soccer ball on…

Ah... the innocent days.

She makes it look easy. I would have somehow kicked myself in the ass and the face simultaneously. Who knows where the ball would have ended up.

pretty cool when a young star pops on a big stage and the old internet presence is juggling/dog tweets instead of the n-word and gay slurs.

Beware, my friend. Shit winds are a-comin’.

Maybe Twin Peaks. Really amp up the teenage debauchery. El keeps getting nose bleeds, but still doesn't have powers...

I loved the Barb theory as a joke.

This is my theory too. I don’t think he’s the American in the cell, I think that’s Brenner. But I think he jumped into the gate figuring he survived being in the Upside Down before and could find a way back out. 

PSG landing Dembélé and Umtiti (plus cash) would be a ridiculous haul considering Neymar is on strike.

I want to see a bunch of the biggest clubs swap major assets and(/or) albatross contracts in a single deal, because it is summer and I am bored!

All fair points, thanks for the lengthy reply. 

Four points:

Kawhi today is a better player than Lebron. He's willing and able to play both halves of the game while Lebron gave up on defense some time ago. Lebron may be the better offensive player but Kawhi is the better all arounder. 

Well, I certainly can’t deny that, but it also won’t surprise me when a dude decides to take a few extra shots at your unconscious face after you call his kids ugly or make fun of his race.

“3. Why do you think runners should be required to take extra steps to make up for a poor throw by the fielding team. Why punish the person who didn’t make the mistake?”

I don’t think the contact was intentional, but you don’t ever, ever go inside unless the throw has pulled the catcher completely to the back side of the plate. The runner is given the lane to the outside. The catcher’s only reasonable place to set up (post Posey rule) is on the inside. The throw, obviously, is coming…

I’m pretty sure a third-place, South American, soccer match is the last place the president will show up.

That’s why you pretend to be drifting off. I’ve made more than my share of mosquitoes comfortable and bold enough to leave hiding and try another ill-conceived attack.

Alternatively, steal the sheet off the Mrs and put some head plugs in. Guaranteed result, I don’t know how she does it and she won’t tell me.
