“OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT OHHHHH SHIIIIIIT!”

Missing your own b-day party. That’s boss-level ownership.

Frank Lampard also benefitted from brilliant service from the incomparable Claude Makelele at that time, more than accounting for his doubling output.

That guy doesn’t exist anymore, if he ever did in the first place (Lampard was a finished article well before Mourinho came about the good ship Chelsea).

NOOOOOOHTOOOOOHN!

What a thrill!

Gives a +1 as the band plays on.

Bud Black. Interminable 40 year managerial tenure in San Diego and all he’s known for is blasting ass during a post-game presser.

“an extremely high carriage fee “

Juve’s running away with the Serie A title, has that dead-on goalscorer they’ve lacked, and still has money left over from the Pogba deal.

It might be unfair, but there’s 84 million pounds-worth of reason why Pogba shouldn’t need a slumpbuster like Swansea City to regain his confidence.

I could see him being a nice, complementary piece on a much better team. Here, under Mourinho, surrounded by this oddly-assembled roster, he’ll never make a sizeable mark.

Still, kudos to his agent for managing to get top coin for the guy, even after a subpar Euros and the fact that Juventus had really cooled off on…

he’s in some rarified air with that. I think only Shula beats him, and he just passed Tom Landry.

Hey, we’re only twenty years on from the whole run-and-shoot gimmick at UH that fleeced some dumb teams into wasting top-7 picks for their QBs.

Goff’s a bust. Let’s all just get that out of the way now.

Juventus stocked around him with midfield maestros that were able to drop the ball wherever he needed it. On-ball inventiveness was never, ever his craft.

Swansea’s barely a midtable Championship league team at this point. So, big fuggin’ deal the world’s most expensive transfer finally gets off the schnide for these guys.

I like Stein. I miss his old ESPN.com NBA column, the Stein Line.

Cuban’s out of order with this one. Shocked he didn’t manage to wrangle in a reference for Cyberdust.

Nearly downvoted, despite the brill references. Any Gary’s Old Towne Tavern ep works, regardless of Celtic gueststar.
