    Update?

    I would have taken getting 7 points at Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Spurs without KDB.  I would have figured the draw and loss would be reversed from what actually happened, but it’s not a big deal.  I still have little doubt that by the end of the year it will be comfortable margin with City winning the 2nd straight title.  Congrats on being in first with 22 games to play though!

  2. Bama’s defense is average (by their standards).  OU has no problem scoring against a much better Georgia defense last year.  I have a feeling that they will put up their usual 45.  Now Bama probably won’t punt all game so it won’t matter, but it should be an entertaining game to watch.

    Penn State at #12 is super lame. Iowa's the only semi-decent team they've beaten.

    This is Exhibit A why preseason rankings matter.  There is no way on earth that a preseason team with their resume would be in the top 15.  Zero impressive wins, and shit all over themselves multiple times.

  4. I’m not saying it is going to be another 100 point season, but I honestly believe we are better this year.  Sterling and Bernardo Silva have taken their games to the next level, and the back line is playing so much better than any time last year.  There are so many ways for this team to beat you, and that’s without KDB.

    It's City's world. The rest of us just live in it. Liverpool have had their best start in club history and after today they'll be in 2nd and over 10 goals down to City. They are a machine. 

    The crazy thing about it is even without KDB, the only points that have been dropped came off a handball goal to Wolves, and a missed penalty late against Liverpool.  The schedule hasn’t been too difficult to start, but after next week we will have played 4 of the 5 other big 6 clubs all away from home.  Teams are going to have to win at City for this not to be another dominating title campaign. 

  6. KDB out for another 5-6 weeks after getting injured yesterday.  Sucks for him and the team, but it isn’t the worst time to have it happen.  I just hope it isn’t something that lingers through the whole season.

  7. I can’t say that I wouldn’t have taken a draw heading into today, but that missed penalty changed everything.  Why the fuck was Mahrez the choice when there were at least 3 better options with Jesus, Silva, and Fernandinho?  

     

    All in all I am pleased with the start, but this team is definitely not the same without KDB.  I hope that he is back after the international break like he is supposed to be.

  8. Huge loss if it is for any extended period of time.

    That schedule almost works a bit against City as both Chelsea and Arsenal will have more time under their managers prior to facing them and teams with a chunk of players in the World Cup will have time to recover. Who knows if it will matter.

    Well we have already played Arsenal on the road so I don’t think that will make too much of a difference for them.  The Chelsea point is valid, but it seems like it will most likely be a 2 team league race between Liverpool and City anyway.

  9. The final was Nadal and Djokovic.  As soon as the Isner and Anderson semi hit about 9-9 in the 5th, all the drama for the actual final was gone.  Disappointing end after Fed/Anderson, Rafa/Delpo, Isner/Anderson, and Rafa/Djokovic were all time classics leading up to it.  All in all it was a fantastic tournament, and one that could really set the summer hard court season on fire.  

    Who is the favorite in New York?  Djokovic has his confidence and game back would be a wise bet.  Nadal has lost 3 matches all year (1 injury retirement, another a 5th set classic), just had his best run in 7 years on his worst surface and is the defending champion.  Federer won the first hard court major of the year and has won 2 of the last 3 on the surface.  Delpo can beat absolutely anyone on any day and looks better than he has in years.  Or perhaps a youngster will finally step up...doubtful.

    This is the most I have looked forward to a summer hard court season in at least 5 years.

  10. 12 all seems like a logical place to have a tiebreak.  I’m also ok with the final going until someone wins by 2 games, but that’s about the only time.  

    Back to the match, this is what tennis should look like.  Both guys playing well and hitting multiple solid shots in a single point.  Fuck that serve and nothing else bs.

  11. My former boss (still good friends) is Young’s uncle through marriage.  They went to the draft and were at the after party and everything.  Even he thinks he was overrated and would have benefited from staying in school and learning some shot discipline.
