Yup. People were really, really happy about Pep coming when it was announced mid-season then slowly were like “oh, wait...” as they roared into the Final.

Benfica were really injured (missing half their preferred XI) in the QF’s this year and they gave Bayern a scare.

He took a team that won the treble and had played in 2 straight Champions League Finals, spent an additional 200 million euros on players and led that team to two semi-final ass-kickings at the hands of Real Madrid and Barcelona as well as whatever that was against Atletico.

Uhh... yes, it was. He inherited a team that won the treble - absolutely hammering Barcelona on the way to the UCL title - a Barca team that was the remnants of what he put together run by his old right-hand man.

They do, sort of. A few goalies used to wear the full visor, similar to what you see a lot of NCAA players wear, but I don’t recall seeing one since the 80's. You can see Andy Moog wearing one at the 88 Olympics below. As a non-goalie but former full visor wearing player I’d guess the issues are that it can get fairly…

We’ll see how good Zatkoff is in the later rounds. The Rangers are a terrible puck possession team that (like every damn year) are carried on Lundqvist’s back through the season and playoffs. Without him, they don’t even sniff the playoffs this year, and you can see how their play disintegrated after his own numbers…

Jozy’s most clinical finish in years.

The Olympics haven’t been for amateur athletes in decades

The Mayor of DC?

McKesson’s run for Mayor of Baltimore, as powerful a symbolic message as it might look to be, falls right into a long tradition of strident activism being replaced by a movement of the few directly into the what’s often called the “professional-managerial class.” A handful of notable individuals emerge from the…

It was the summer of 2012 when we were there, and there were a TON of very large wildfires in CO that summer and several people had died and hundreds lost their homes.

Well, when it comes to Washington and violence with soccer players, there is always Hope.

Very annoying but I just come to expect it from this guy now

Do you know who the author is?

how did you manage to write such a brilliant, scathing point, but totally forget to mention man-baby John Terry, the two faced tree stump.

Not a Chelsea fan by any means but this collection of players is easily one of the most sensitive, spoiled, and egotistic group I have seen in a while. If it’s not Oscar’s diving, it’s Hazard’s open apathy, Fabregas’s laziness, or Costa’s desire to wind someone up more than play the game.

I’m just hoping they can come to some sort of Missouri Compromise eventually

You’d think that Columbia would have higher standards then to admit a race horse into school.

“NO ONE deserves to be abused and the fact that three grown men watched a woman get punched in the face and refused to help her is reason for me to believe that they aren’t looking out for you and they absolutely WILL NOT protect you if you go there.”

I ate this for lunch. I think my percentage has shot through the roof.
