  1. Napoleon

    USMNT 2023

    He was put together with all of the spare parts that shouldn’t have been included in the do-it-yourself kits that his parents had assembled over the years. Soccer’s answer to Dr. Frankenstein’s* monster. *
  2. Caroline Woz's rasslin' singlet is just weird. The only thing that I really like about it is that 1) She is really good friends with Serena Williams & 2) Serena wore something like that and she looked like 3 sausages worth of ground pork stuff into a single sausage casing. CarWoz at least looks fit, but it just doesn't seem hot. And if you're going to wear that shit, it should look hot. Don't like Novak, but you can see that he paces himself from his very first serve. Everything is so deliberate and everything seems so planned that whenever he hits any adversity, he seems like he starts to melt down (internally) for a bit before finding his way back to bouncing the fucking ball 10-15 times before every first serve and he never gets called out for taking 35 seconds of the 25 second serve clock. I feel like he just blocks the ball back about 95% of the time and says "Make a mistake, Spaz." and his opponents follow his order. I guess it is the other 5% of the time that makes them nervous and leads them to fail rather than forcing Novak to beat them over and over and over. I was going to post that Jelena challenges the automated calls and continues to disagree with the evidence that she doesn't like. Then I continued reading and saw that she did it tonight.
  3. They have 3 national titles in the last 20 years and they are bitching like they are Texas A&M. I could deal with shitty starts to the season if we averaged a national championship about every 7 years over the last 20 years.
  4. Still can't believe that Tech didn't go for 2 after their first TD in OT. They went for it on 4th down all the time last year, especially against us. "4th & 3" and they walk off with a win. Just awesome.

    Bringing it back to UT.
  6. Exactly how I read it originally before squinting and rereading it.
  7. Ben Shelton was up 6-4 , 6-1, 3-1 over Tommy Paul when he then hit a 141mph (to 143 mph) on a first serve and then followed it up with a 149mph first serve! He had another 149mph serve in the game to go up 4-1 in the 3rd… Then he shit himself and instead of closing out the match, he lost 4 straight games and we’re in a 4th set. Randall Cobb & Aaron Rodgers in attendance. (Something not as easy in Green Bat.)
  8. Do you even 6’ 5”, bro? Ewers is like 6’1” to 6’2”.
  9. It looks like a stadium was built next a massive industrial medium & high security state prison complex.
  10. ANDIELD QUESTION: Why are these seats empty? Are they construction zone adjacent? Are they new? It just struck me as odd that there would be an empty section in the PL. SIDE NOTE: In Argentina, due to the occasional deaths at fútbol matches, some stadiums (those of the biggest clubs) suspended ticket sales to the “away section” for a few years in an effort to reduce the seemingly seasonal killing due to fan on fan violence or reactional police officer shooting a fan in the face.
  11. That wasn’t “the next generation of white guy dance moves.” That was The Ickey Shuffle.
  12. Wyoming has to keep them out, because Tech will go for 2 and get it. EDIT: Or not. They kick the XP.
  13. Yes. And they should have declined the runoff. Both coaches are fucking idiots.
  14. These are some of the dumbest announcers that I have ever had the misfortune of listening to.
  15. Pickford at the final whistle with a point saving double-save to secure the point on the road. You really hate to see it.
  16. Not so fast, amigo. Let’s not name our Serbians before they hatch.
  17. Coco sucking on a Belgian hog. After having a shot to break Mertens to go up 4-2, she just started in the hot tub.
  18. This whole thing of parents having to be at every game is just bizarre to me. I had siblings who also played soccer growing up on Saturdays and both parents worked. Saturdays one parent would be with one or two kids and the other parent would be with the other one. Occasionally one kid would have to ride to a game with a friend because the parents were busy chauffeuring to two other locations. During the week my mom would try to attend sporting events at school, which was right next to our house, but she didn’t always make it. No parents ever went to road games. Ever. Not one. No one even thought about it. Now parents’ entire lives are wrapped up in their child’s/children’s every breath. It’s just strange.
  19. This feels like the soccer version of… “Realignment talk not going away”
