  1. I absolutely love all of the use of “we”. 😂 That’s fucking brilliant! I would like to see 40 MLS clubs with an upper division of 20 and s lower division of 20. -Promotion/Relegation of 4 to 6 teams per year. -A “Leagues Cup” tournament with all 40 teams that ends with an important* trophy at the end. There is something balanced and special about a Home & Away with each club in a league. It makes every home game special, because the fans only get one shot to see any given player from another team in person each year. (*“important” = physically large trophy and sizable payout to each player on the club)

    Why would you think that Pepi won’t get the standard 10% from the transfer fee? The top 2 teams in the Eredivisie qualify directly to the Champions League group stage for next year. Feyenoord won the league and PSV finished 2nd, so it’s all good.
  3. 1) Muchova was down 2-5 (0-30) at one point before winning 20 of the next 24 points. She also faced a Match Point at 30-40 in that game. 2) Iga hadn’t given up more than 4 games in any set and had only lost 15 games in her first 5 rounds, which includes a walkover @ 5-1 in one match. It was something else to actually go to a tie-breaker in a set. 3) Clearest explanation of what happened to Miyu Kato before getting disqualified in the women’s doubles. In the 3+ minute highlight video I watched, Miyu looked like a voyeur with a great view of a 2-on-1 match on a clay court. Her partner won that title and she pitched in like a 10 year-old sibling who was invited by a college-aged brother who was in charge of babysitting while home over the summer. Happy to see her win and Andreescu lose. ❤️x2
  4. White peoples are always hoping for more white. 🙈🙊🙉🐒

    Real banner year! 🙄🤮
  6. Among [WHITE & Black multigenerational-American adult] Americans… You are correct. Among Latinos, immigrants/1st General adults, and little kids who bought Messi jerseys before/during/after the World Cup, well… I beg to differ.
  7. I didn’t get specific, dipshit. I was using it as an example for regards. That’s probably why it went over your head. 🤘
  8. Correct. It’s a new era. You’re catching on. 🤘
  9. A “news” channel attacked a former president for days for doing such un-American things as: 1) Wearing a beige suit… once. 2) Putting mustard on a hot dog 🌭. (You’ll notice that even the hot dog emoji has mustard on it so WTF?) Complete nonsense, but they needed something to rile their base while things were actually going pretty well in the USA. Aggie is probably doing the same… throwing shit at the wall to distract. Okay, (1) at DKR and (2) in the last 25 years. Because I witnessed hundreds, if not thousands, of Longhorns storm the field at a&m after we won the last SWC game ever, 16-6. That was win the corp/ 1) Tool a Longhorn flag away from a UT player on the field. 2) Held women down on the field while others punched them. 3) Held men down on the field and punched and/or kicked them to the extent that some men had to go to the hospital for stitches. Of course is here was no disciplinary action on the part of the a&m administrators. I will never go to that shit hole again for any reason.
  10. Don’t know what was wrong with Rune, but he was tired & lifeless coming into the match. Sleep deprivation, sleep medication, allergies (no rain in Paris this fortnight), or something else had him looking & playing like shit. I hope that he gets it figured out before the hard court season, because he’s fun to watch when he is up for a match. Don’t know what his game will be like on grass, but he has a massive serve (at times) and isn’t afraid to serve & volley, so he may be an all-surface player when his body is good.
  11. There is no way that bringing Messi back to Barcelona would have worked for their development, their budget, their style of play of total football. Messi doesn’t play defense anymore and needs dedicated soldiers around him to make up for his deficiencies. This is a face-saving move by the club so that the fans don’t turn on them. Totally understandable and totally forgettable in a few days’ time Corporate sponsors signing players so that they earn wages that are legal in the MLS wage structure while also being compensated sufficiently. Suarez is toast. He was making Pennie’s while playing for a club in Uruguay and I would be shocked if he was still getting minutes by the end of the 2024 season. Messi, Busquets, and Alba can be DPs. Don’t know who already is a DP on Inter Miami, but the league will facilitate their movement. Get ready to see unprecedented 360° access to Inter Miami training, pregame & post-game locker room chatter, and sideline management available only on Apple Vision Pro. Inter Miami is going to be the NY Cosmos of the 1970s. The LA Lakers of the 1980s & early 2000s. The Chicago Bulls of the 1990s. The Miami Heat of the late 2000s/early 2010s. Apple sunk hundreds of billions into the MLS broadcast rights and their new Apple Vision Pro. Their stock is taking a dip now because people are uncertain what to make of their new goggles, but soccer is about to sore past the MLB and challenge the NBA in the coming decade.

  13. Rune went off the court after the end of the second set and must have had a quadruple espresso because he looks like he has finished his warmup and is now awake and ready to play. He looked hungover or like he couldn’t fall asleep last night due to nerves the first two sets. Jim Courier said that Tsitsipas said last night that he had taken melatonin to help him sleep the night before and felt groggy last night. That can definitely be the case and Rune was playing like he took melatonin at 4am after not being able to sleep and was still trying to work it out of his system.
  14. The puffy bags under Holger Rune’s eyes make him look like he didn’t sleep last night. In the first set, it has looked like it so far more points than not.
  15. I bet they LOVED that shit! Also, this was likely Iva’s longest match by time, because it was 2 games longer (18 games) than Iga’s two longest matches so far (16 games).

    Great gig for him… other than the fact that he has chosen a “league” (a.k.a. “City State Intramural”) that plays their matches on the surface of the sun.

    The comments under this posts are pretty… healthy?
  18. Ummm… The Browns are loaded with talent and if Deshaun Watson plays anything like he did in Houston, they are going to give Cincy a run for the division championship and could make it to the Conference Championship game his year. Arizona, on the other hand, is fucked.
  19. The “next level” that they are talking about must be Rookie League Baseball.
  20. The woman (especially) and the other two on the Tennis Podcast like to whine on and on about women not being the featured night match, but what do you say to the fans who bought tickets to a night session featuring the #1 seed vs another woman playing very well and representing her embattled country on the court… …when the entire night session is over in fewer than 30 minutes and some fans haven’t even made it to their seats yet? 6 fucking games?? Women withdraw at such a high rate that you can’t depend on a single women’s match. This wasn’t the Romanian-Canadian or the stout Latvian either… but here are two players that you would expect to slug it out. 6 fucking games!
  21. He was an academic All-American at Arizona don’t you know.
  22. But they have amazing weather. The plethora of outdoor distractions leads to less investment in amenities for college sports teams than in other parts of the country.
