That whole paragraph really - Billy is writing like he knows from experience. He’s just waxing bullshit.

I don’t know about college football coaches specifically, but without getting too specific I know that in some college sports (volleyball, in this instance) some coaches, assistants included, can earn significant money running offseason camps for high schoolers/kids with dreams of getting an athletic scholarship.

Have a happy birthday next Monday or Tuesday!

Yes I absolutely have done this too. I always forget whether my brother’s birthday is May 23rd or May 24th. Every. Single. Year.

I’ve come to realize that being smart and being a dumbass are not mutually exclusive.

I only just discovered these reviews. Great work. They’re very enjoyable, even when I find myself disagreeing.

I like video poker because I get to sit at the bar and watch whatever sporting event happens to be on TV. So I guess it’s just like every other time I go to the bar except I’m slowly losing money just for sitting there.

Fear not,

This was never meant to be an apples-apples comparison. Regardless of stadium size, fans are showing up and in much bigger numbers than a lot of people realize. The NBA & NHL statistics are provided to give people a point of reference. Clearly the MLS does not rival those leagues in terms of national interest. I am…

The capacity of Providence Park is 22,000. Soccer specific stadiums that are sprouting up across MLS have similar capacities.

Rolfe missed that PK. But point taken. If anything the DC one in the video above was more blatant. Caldwell was in the process of tucking his arm behind his back and it basically hit just below the shoulder.

Amazing save.

Beckerman is fucking garbage, but playing Jones on the wing makes no sense. Please don’t put them on the same level. If you put Jones in the holding role, his best position, one he plays much better than Beckerman, he will have a more positive impact on the field. I know it was a few years ago, but he was a starter on…

I am not at all in opposition to paying college athletes, but does anyone have a feasible proposal on how to actually do it?

A couple years back some friends were hosting a small-ish get together. Classy affair. Sitting in beach chairs in the driveway, grilling, slamming BL’s and playing can jam. I have work tomorrow, but I figure what the hell, I turn 25 at midnight! I can get blasted on a Sunday. I’ve got precious few hours before I enter…

“Go”

Is being cool something people are still supposed to be worried about after, say, sophomore year of college? I’m 27. Maybe this thought pattern just means I’m a thoroughly uncool person.
