That MI v. Denver first round game is sneaky good. Michigan has figured something out on D, holding a team to 4 goals in a championship game is impressive. After allowing Hop to up 6-1 in the first Q, the Wolverines clamped down and only allowed 1 more goal(!) the rest of the way in the semis.

I thought Idaho, for sure, but I think the migration of big $$ during COVID may have taken a bunch of those mountain states out of the mix.

One thing I like about watching English soccer is that if the game is scheduled to start at 5:00, it starts at 5:00. Sports in the US (and Canada) never actually start at the advertised time. I was again reminded of this watching the NFL draft. Advertised to start at 5:00 PDT, the first pick went d...

Huh. Saw the story on CBS Saturday Morning... Quick take was "why are dudes surfing in cartel controlled territory?"... but that was kind of the spin the news story put on it, I imagine they probably felt like they were remote enough not to be in danger. I guess?

I looked it up... Very difficult question... There are something like 10 other states that have 1 billionaire apiece, in addition to these three.

I say no way Andrew Jackson isn’t the smelliest President. I’ll die on that hill.

I'm going Taft.

Well, it matters to me in the sense I'd like to imagine he is actually sitting in his own shit and stinking up the courtroom.

With entirely different characters, it would almost be sweet in a "peeing your pants is the coolest" sort of way. That's what I was thinking. I was also thinking that these are the same people that cackle with glee when Trump makes fun of reporters with CP and all sorts of other hateful a...

Given degen's posts, I think it's something like Inter-Confederation Playoff winner or something like that.

I guess the way my brain has dealt with Tesla is that, as you've said (dave), that company was full of really brilliant, creative and innovative people before Elon came along. I'm not discounting his role in elevating/advancing the company, but to act like everything that has come out of Tesla is so...

Any guesses who the 3 overaged American players will be? Obviously total guesses, but you have to filter out guys that are 100 percent going to play in the Copa and then kind of think about where you get the most bang for your buck. So, IMO, you get the most reward with solid, veteran type guys alo...

Asian U23. Japan, Uzbekistan and Iraq qualify for the Olympics. It'll be Indonesia vs Guinea in a playoff next Thursday in Paris for the final spot and will go into Group A with France, USA and New Zealand. Unless New Zealand is sneaky good, US really should come out of that group without too much ...

Condolences, my man. Thanks for sharing... I know I find it cathartic to get stuff written down and this place is a great place to just... Let it out.

I don't find Monty Python all that funny. I don't think a lot of their stuff a) ages all that well and b) transfers from the Brit to the American audience all that well.

It's just so jarring and when you look at how cool/clean the lines are on the Rivian you really have to wonder WTF ppl are thinking.

On my business card, next round.

That was a lengthy stretch of time to figure WTF you guys were talking about.

My personal opinion is that people are dying in a genocide and all bets are off. I continue to hold the opinion that there are enough cultural/societal issues that make voting for anyone other than Biden in November is the ultimate cutting off your nose to spite your face. It's unconscionable, tbh. ...

I mean, I'm sure there's a ton more to the story, I'm just getting that from his interview with the D3 soccer guy called Simple Coach.

I'm not really staking out a position here, but it's not about one individual person complaining on social, it's the overall effect of many people going after Biden and creating a general atmosphere of negativity.

The Baseball Club competes in league play as a division 1 member of the National Club Baseball Association (NCBA). The team is affiliated with the North Atlantic – North Division, competing against Boston College, Northeastern, SUNY – Albany, UConn, and UMass Amherst.

I can just as easily say that people that agree with the pick are just finding reasons to justify a really bad decision.

The amount of bullshit this is going to cause in the locker room, alone, shows how little the GM and Coach thought this through.

His wife got a new job in Baltimore and he said "it was my turn to take one for the team career-wise."

But, yes, it's wild that a guy that built a national contender had to step away from the program. Goes to show how little (relatively speaking) those folks get paid.

As I've rambled many times, the rule is going to change, hopefully prior to the 2026 WC. They were piloting the switch in some leagues, but I don't know where things have gone from the pilot stage.

Yeah, in a vacuum, you take Penix at 8... That's not (for me) the argument. They are trying to spin this that they are setting up for the future but trying to win now. That isn't how they sold this to Kirk, who I'm sure would've loved Odunze or as bri said someone on the OL to protect his old ass. ...

Appreciate you dying on Penix Mountain.

(The guys I respect that cover the league are baffled... I will retain my bafflement.)

(The other slightly hilarious thing is that the reason Penix is such an "old" draft pick is... He's dealt with a ton of injuries!!)

Right, which a lot of folks were talking about running up to this draft so... We're back to where we started.

The ONLY way to come up with a reasonable defense is to point out that Cousins is coming off of the type of injury that has the potential of being a long term problem.

I mean, I'm on record up there.

Apologies if this has been mentioned before, but I'm really digging The Rewatchables, which is a Bill Simmons production where he and 2 or 3 other folks go back over some of the most rewatchable movies from the 80s on up through early 2000s. It goes back to 2018 so there are a ton of episodes and y...

BTW, and not for nothing, but I don't know that most ppl are looking at the flip side of this. You think Penix is psyched about this? Dude is OLD for a draftee, he's ready now (IMO) and now he's going to what will most surely be a tough QB room. I'd be livid if I were him. The point of getting draft...

That is just a wild pick. Like a total WTF move.

I'm not sure if this is true, but there are pictures of the owner down in the team room... allegedly not happy with that pick. Don't know if I buy that, but boy... Kevin Costner ain't walking through that door.

Funny, I was gonna say the same. My wife's bestie is from a very wealthy family (dad was president of the board at Congressional) and that family is a SHITSHOW.
