do their best not to upset that trend with a work stoppage.

C’mon, “partner” is codeword for: corporate handout. Other codewords for corporate handouts are: “business-friendly environment” and “pro-business”

Pittsburgh at that point solely existed to lose in conference finals (people forget Bledsoe came back and led them to the win).

Part of the reason they lost was their brilliant coach Bill Callahan didn’t realize that perhaps, Gruden knew a thing or 2 about their offense (Gannon threw 5 picks).

Jamarcus Russell is low-hanging fruit. You might instead bring up the “tuck rule” with Tom Brady or Rich Gannon throwing 5 picks in the Super Bowl.

Nobody is saying he played poorly. Just pointing out he was seemed a bit aloof in New York.

The union was absolutely right to stop that pay cut. It isn’t about ARod, if the precedent of cutting your salary is set, teams were likely to pressure other players to do the same.

Oh yeah, I’m sure these teams were just totally duped and had no idea any of their players were juicing. What innocent victims they are.

Back to the original discussion. Man United are a big club which is why they were able to land Pogba. However, I agree with the Haisley that it was driven pretty much by money. I don’t believe United was Pogba’s first choice (or second choice). I do think he was desperate to get out of Juventus and United were the…

Yes, Pogba is essentially a defensive midfielder (sometimes he is deployed behind the strikers but generally is a holding MF).

Best manager in the world? This isn’t 2004, go ask the last two clubs he managed how that ended up. Mourinho was a dumb hire that reeks of desperation. He’s another quick fix like Van Gaal and once it’s over (in 2 years), they’ll be no better off than they were before.

Yes, there is a big difference between being a big club and a top club. Liverpool is a big club like United. Like United, right now, they’re not a top club. AC Milan and Inter are big clubs but they’re not top clubs right now. United will always be a big club but right now, when in the last 3 years, they’ve finished…

United is not a big club? You just don’t get it.

I find it kind of odd people believe he only went for the money

No, our pious American swimmers are fueled by values. Those foreigners are all cheating.

Bill, did you ever consider that Pogba wanted to go back? You barely make a hint of in your “piece.”

...and liberals (Nixon did it to jail hippies). The reason laws are changing is because it’s much more acceptable for whites to smoke weed.

Because it’s still illegal on a federal level. The NFL cannot simply, and knowingly allow their players to break the law. End of story.

Fucked up...but they get paid literally millions of dollars for it. There are worse jobs out there to have.

I don’t know if it will be basketball. You wouldn’t believe how often white fans say they don’t follow the NBA because they don’t play “team ball.” “Team ball” of course being codeword for: too many black players.
