A nobody, an often-criticized afterthought on a team consisting of the game’s biggest star, injured early on and confined to the sidelines, some exciting young talent and some old dogs playing above their diminished skill level all led by an engineer-turned-journeyman manager, scores a ridiculous goal against the home…

But the Tennessee State player reached for his waistband and Allen was scared for his life. Justified. Review by Duke’s head of officiating confirms. Foul.

Heady play. Just a smart, heady play. Great basketball IQ on this kid. Really terrific.

A guy I know played for a mid-major that was scheduled at Duke in the last decade. His story: they took the lead into the locker room, carried it about halfway into the second half, and added to their lead with a pair of free throws on an unremarkable foul call. In between free throws, Coach K walks over to the ref…

Cam Newton clearly hit helmet to helmet while sliding isn’t called. Grayson Allen gets a foul call with clearly no contact. Electoral College elects Trump.

I liked Seattle’s approach of never at any time attempting a shot on goal, it’s the same theory that got Homer Simpson through the Bum Boxing League for a title fight with Dreaderick Tatum.

Judging by the dragon and font this looks like a pretty sweet LARP tournament coming up.

Utd and Spurs both got favorable draws, and by favorable I mean west of the Rhine.

Upper left corner of the page? You’ll find an icon of a magnifying glass. Go over to that, click it, and type “mls sucks” in the field. Press return. You will then find the answer you seek.

Leicester are on track to finish their two-year storybook run by being relegated in England, then winning the Champions League.

I know MLS sucks in comparison to the rest of the worlds leagues, but it’s still a professional sport.

Isn’t the whole point that everyone asks him something?

Uh if the PSU alumni and fan base would, for the most part, acknowledged that Joe Paterno was a horrible human being and stop denying he was innocent and what he was a part of should never be excused just because he was good at winning football games, I might be inclined to agree with you.

Fernandinho was clearly out of line, but Cesc smacked him on the face prior to. He (Fabregas) knew exactly what he was doing and got the desired result (Dinho sent off).

Who are you suggesting went down easily? The guy who received the 2 footed flying tackle to the knee or the guy who was being grabbed by the throat and pushed over an advertisement board? It’s hard to tell

Thankfully, there’s at least one way in which Football Manager is not a complete simulation of the football world....

It’s just speculation, but also worth mentioning that former Wales manager Gary Speed - whose suicide 5 years ago deeply shocked the soccer world - was coached by Bennell as a youth player and was considered one of his ‘favorites,’ which can lead you to start speculating about some really horrifying possibilities.

Actually PSU isn’t that good. Michigan waxed them 49-10. They beat Ohio State on a miracle last second blocked OSU FG that they returned for a TD as time expired.

Jesus Christ is Penn State good again?

But if they win the Big Ten championship on Saturday, they’ll have overcome so much adversity.
