The original title for this article: “MLS sucks and needs relegation”.

So if he had caught the ball, just like he did, and then threw the ball as he was falling to the ground, would that have been a catch? You’re allowed to spike it. In that situation, couldn’t a player just catch it, get two feet in, and then let go of it and claim that he was spiking it, instead of risking going to the…

Here’s a thought. Nobody knows what Pat Tillman would think about this issue. Not the people on the right using his image to bash the people protesting by kneeling, and not the people convinced he would have kneeled.

You mean a moment of reflection that was forced on him by Mike Tomlin and presumably the other more vocal members of the team? Is that really meaningful? I thought the whole argument in favor of Kaepernick was that he was doing something thoughtful that he personally found to have deep significance, in spite of public…

My first “Starting Lineup Baseball Great” figuring was Mike Pagliarulo. I wanted Steve Sax but they didn’t have him so I settled for Pags. When my dad saw it, he went “PAAAAGGGGGGSSSS!!!!!!!!” In my first game at Yankee stadium, he actually hit a home run too.

Yes, the economy is only good for people who invest in the companies. So by that you mean, everyone that has a 401k plan with company match who chooses to invest a portion of that in their own company? Of course that doesn’t apply to the hourly Walmart Cashier. But it does apply to many full time workers, the…

It’s unlikely that McDonalds will ever go out of business because they are a cash cow, not just because their brand is so strong. Even when their brand suffers, like it did a few years ago, they aren’t saddled with the mountains of debt and overhead like the auto manufacturers are. It’s also a franchise model so much…

Here’s an idea: Let coaches in tennis coach just like cornermen in boxing. Why not? That adds another layer of intrigue. You can mike up the coaches and listen to them.

That makes sense. You’re probably right about most of this. But consider this: The McGregor Mayweather farce should have never happened and it did. It happened as a boxing event too. Boxing promoters raked in barrels of cash. Maybe they won’t be interested in forming fighting leagues etc, but what about putting on…

But what’s to stop someone like De La Hoya or TMT or Al Haymon from buying the rights to a bunch of hot young fighters, and putting on their own purse fights, outside of the UFC? They’d have to take on the responsibility of getting the fighters publicity and building them up, but they are used to doing that with their…

I truly love the library. Whenever I go to drop off books, I always end up spending an hour or more just wandering around, getting lost in the stacks.

Serious question: Does Chamomile tea etc actually contain chemicals that cause you to calm down? I’m sure it makes some people feel calm, but that could just as easily be attributed to the placebo effect or maybe the simple act of drinking a non-caffeinated hot beverage. Is there actually any evidence that these type…

It doesn’t equal getting “literally robbed” either, does it?

Do tell, how was she literally robbed of the election? Trump is a monster, and the Russians conspired to interfere in the election by leaking emails and spreading fake news. All of that is true. She still lost the election and didn’t get robbed though. Nobody, not even the democrats, are arguing that she didn’t…

For some reason it makes me happy that Veronica and CT (?) are still on the show. Some things from the late 90's early aughts just don’t change.

True. Actually though, you’d be surprised at how often the US Olympic committee, or official US coaches, participate in both the coverup and the act of helping our top athletes dope.

I’m not saying that Biles cheated. She appears to have a legitimate diagnosis of ADHD. I’m not saying the Williams sisters cheated either.

WCAP is a really interesting program. They do all types of other sports. My brother was in it for boxing. The people in the program are basically paid full time to box or compete, but can go back into the Army at any time. Most of his teammates went on to do multiple combat tours.

So I’m more interested in the $800k that he owed “asap” to other parties. This is NJ we’re talking about and he partnered in this whole scheme with a NJ strip club owner. You don’t have to be Detective McNulty to conclude that organized crime is likely involved.

It went off one time, that I can remember. It definitely scared the F out of me when I had heavy weights in my hands. I don’t see how that is better than somebody grunting, but whatever.
