Excuse me, Miss, I speak Jive.

Agreed.  I think people who like Conan (and I count myself as one of them) are confusing liking his humor with his show be objectively successful when compared to the competition.

Holy shit.

When you have kids blessed with top one percent athleticism, they will eventually have to choose where to focus there energies when they hit high school.  An athletic boy may walk away from soccer to play football, baseball or basketball because it holds greater opportunities for him in the U.S.  The opposite is true…

I think you need to re-read the article.

Which was the dumbest thing to do since he was obviously scamming the system.  Hold it and rent it for ten years and you can debate what the actual value of the home is rather than sell it and leave no doubt you just bribed the Harvard fencing coach.

It does not need to at this point, either.  Globally the women’s game does not generate one tenth of the revenue that the men’s game does.  The reason non-US teams do so well on the men’s side is that the absolute best athletes in Europe and South America are brought up to play soccer whereas the best athlete males in…

There’s not big money in soccer unless you go overseas and particularly Europe. American men gifted with freakish athleticism are going to take up Football, Baseball, Basketball, or even tennis/golf before soccer because you have a much better chance of making a living at it in the US.

Goose from Top Gun or Goose from Captain Marvel?  Because both of their movie co-stars are present?

I’ve got no quarrel with the current midnight green but the old logo was 1000X better.

+1 fireside chat.

No.

I’m FAR from an expert on soccer but that was my take, too.  Spain had a good defensive game plan for the US and we did not have any real response except to keep doing the same thing over and over again, drawing two penalties in the box (one of which was kind of weak).

Even if so, they could respond with “upon advice of my attorneys I am declining to comment at this time.”

A friend was a college pitcher - threw mid nineties, got drafted and played in the Angels organization A-team and was MVP of the league championship team that year. He was told, at the end of the season, he was returning to the A team - not moving up. So he was going to live in a bedroom of the home of some family…

I agree. Most of the Dads who played at a high level (including one Dad I know he played professionally and did a few MLB stints) were incredibly laid back, non-critical and actually very positive no matter what the outcome. It was the frustrated “never-was” Dads that were the biggest headaches.

I coached baseball for years when my kids were younger - probably about 15 seasons total. The most negative thing I ever said to an Umpire was “was that outside?” if he called a ball that I thought was a strike.

I didn’t expect to star a comment from you but here you go.

You’re not wrong.
