He seems like a miserable person. At least where (American) soccer is concerned. Which makes his position seem really odd.

Seriously, can’t Deadspin find one soccer writer who doesn’t write like he’s one whiskey away from ending it all to spite the bartender?

Ah, the old “the MLS sucks because it doesn’t have relegation” argument. How on earth does the lack of relegation hold back the MLS or the national team? I don’t think that relegating, say, Chicago and Houston after last season and promoting Sacramento and Red Bulls II is suddenly going to make them both better.

And how many words would this chamaco write if the US had lost?

So, Neymar to Merseyside then. That should shake up the Premier League race.

Racism? At an Indians game?

“I would rather have more facts than win the argument.”
That is a line that more people need to live by.

Wait, are you really under the impression that Clinton was paid that much just to make boring speeches at private events? It was because his wife was a senator and secretary of state and then the person everyone thought was a sure thing for president.

Pulisic’s Pitch Performance Positively Proficient

GODDAMNIT, WOULD SOMEBODY JUST SLIT THE THROAT OF THAT DUMB, IMBECILE, SANSA, PLEASE? Has that fucker learnt nothing? No, you stupid spoiled idiot, it’s not that you can’t question your brother - even if your point is beyond stupid, as it was -, just try to not do it in front of the very houses he is trying to keep…

So Jorah just teleported into an Oldtown prison?

Nothing makes me happier than watching Fed say fuck you to age and kick ass. His first two sets today were a straight up lesson in grass tennis. And then that tie break! He was down 3-0!

Is it just me, or is Melky applauding Freeland right at the end of the last clip? I want to believe that’s the case, because that’d be a good way to start the week.

This country is as divided as it’s ever been, excluding all those other years where there was actual Civil War and National Guard troops having to enforce integration decrees and nationwide rioting after the assassination of major public figures and Tories against Rebels and that time they ran in Army tanks to bust up…

Very true. It still is a bit jarring that Rodgers took less guaranteed money than Timofey Mozgov.

I keep telling people looking for new TVs to get one with good HDR instead of just focusing on the 4K feature. Seeing things in 4k vs 1080p can be a marginal improvement, HDR vs standard is often night and day.

Back-to-back World Cups in Russia and Qatar really do make the whole anti-racism/discrimination posturing look empty and hypocritical.

Here’s another stat to remember. Only about 5% of gun owners belong to the NRA. Because the NRA is a fucking evil institution that represents fucking irresponsible assholes and not responsible gun owners.

I’ve seen this romcom before. KD and Rihanna’s fight make them realize that the only thing worse than how they feel about each other is how they feel WITHOUT each other. They eventually fall in love and end up getting married. Jeff Van Gundy, still obsessed with Rihanna, tries to interrupt the ceremony but ends up…

Kelly Rowland is a huge J.R. Smith fan and was shouting down Igoudala from the upper deck. No mention of that apparently.
