    What does this mean? Top 6 has been dynamic for basically the entire history of English football. Do you mean like the past decade top 6 of ManU, City, Chelsea, Pool, Arsenal, Spurs? 

    Just curious how you're defining that - "traditional" is a weird qualifier. 

    Pretty much.  Chelsea and City had 1 and 2 titles, respectively, before oil.  Everton had the second most titles until 1989.

    So many better things the Student Gov't should and could focus on to really help students and The University.

    Those things don't yield media attention.

  3. The EPL clearly told the Saudis that another Man City would not be permitted and that City would soon be punished for its FFP violations.  The Newcastle build has been deliberate, patient and intelligent and they are way ahead of schedule as a result of the fortuitous decline of Liverpool, Chelsea's awful season, the Glazer ownership of United and the impending relegation of City.    

    Chelsea is pushing much of the expense of its spending spree into future years which the EPL and UEFA will soon curtail as well.  Chelsea just identified a loophole in the rules that will be closed soon but they won't be punished for a practice that was not illegal at the time they were doing it.

  4. The PGA Tour is also available on cable but on channels golf fans are actually aware of.  

    Mito Pereira is the big offseason acquisition?  Sounds like the Saudis are quickly losing interest and pivoting to soccer as a more effective sports washing opportunity.

    'all love to talk about jersey chasers who have the cray, as if there aren't twice as many entitled alpha pro athletes who have never had to learn how to manage a relationship, always have other options and don't hesitate to show off their strength by putting hands on a woman. 

    No.  There are way more crazy jersey chasers

  6. The volume of original TV programming right now is absurd (559 original scripted shows in 2021 compared to 182 in 2002).  That volume yields both outstanding shows and historically awful shows (such as Velma).  People are almost as interested in awful entertainment as they are with excellent.  The vast mediocre middle is generally ignored. I doubt Kaling and Co. intentionally set out to develop a pile of elephant shit but failing so dramatically may be a better career move than producing something forgettable like the hundreds of shows that are never mentioned in the cultural discourse.

    With his Gyasi Zardes-like ability to score goals, surely he'll have a better Premiership tenure than Jozy Altidore.

    Jozy's EPL strike rate of 1 goal every 35 games is one of my favorite stats

    So what is our time table here? Did the Gregg info come before or after Beerholder talked shit about Gio?

    Sounds like Danielle Reyna flew off the handle after Gregg's conference remarks regarding Gio were leaked.  She then called Earnie Stewart and told him about the kicking incident which triggered an investigation obligation.

  9. There are many families in my neighborhood who rely on their parents to finance their lifestyle to various degrees.  The ridiculous competition for housing increased this reliance as all cash offers became necessary to win competitive bidding situations, the sources of which are often provided by by parents.  

    They annoy me about as much as mannies (house husbands for the uninitiated) and used to bother me more when I was really busting my ass and never seeing my kids while they were on the golf course 4 days a week.  In my experience, these types tend to congregate, are nice enough, frequently involve MILFs in yoga pants and don't include the Karens that I actually have issues with.
