As opposed to the teams in Europe, who are owned by saints with nothing but compassion in their heart.

Meanwhile, Chicharito went from playing in the Champions League to join a club that’s mid table at best but not bad enough to seriously scrap for relegation (unless they totally shit the bed, which they did) so they can sell jerseys to Mexicans but not really contend for any hardware.

D.C. United drops upwards of $3.5 million plus a seven-figure salary to sign Paul Arriola today. LA drops $8 million to bring Carlos Vela to an expansion team. Dom Dwyer gets sold (between two MLS teams!) two weeks ago for $1.5 million.

“MLS sucks because all the players are bad”

Billy I think you’ve done it. You’ve finally written your worst piece on deadspin. You should be proud

“New York Reb Bulls”

between referencing the fictional deaths of a school bus full of children in yesterday’s Funbag and including this letter in the Bills round-up, i think maybe Drew is crying out for help.

At the insistence of his editor, the author ruefully removed the following sentence: “Glumly peering into their half-filled bowls of Lucky Charms, each morning, the downtrodden people of Dublin fill their thermoses full of whisky and stagger down to the pub, where they dance jigs and fight each other as the jukebox…

I’m from Dublin. The ESPN thing is over the top, but it gets some things right.
Jennifer O’Connell and the Irish Times don’t have to live in Neilstown and Darnadale and Clondalkin et al.

As a southern liberal, I’m part of a tiny minority, and I long ago gave up hope that the region would be joining the rest of the world any fucking time soon. Because this place is populated by people who believe the hype. They…

The fact that labor unions are taking a beating should be no surprise to anyone paying real attention to politics for the last 35 years.

Part of me feels bad for the guy, part of me feels like that was a steaming pile of bullshit that he wrote to see if Drew would publish it.

Am I being a homer, or did these fan submissions blow other teams’ out of the water? 

I respect that Lane Kiffin doesn’t take himself seriously, unlike many universities.

These are the most boring ownage stories I’ve ever heard.

I wish they would have found a way to make Euron as scary as he was in the books, even if we did have to cut a lot of the more outlandish stuff. In addition to being what Bran and Dany are pushing against, I think he helps to set the stakes of a world where evil wins. It’s not just emptiness, it’s utter horror. We…

Actually, taking shots at Alabama, Clemson, and sociology majors just made him at least one friend.
