I think they were drugged. No way does the entire team come out that flat in a game where you need a point against a shit team to go to the World Cup. After the first goal, they slightly woke up for about 3 minutes. When they applied pressure, T&T panicked. I don't know if it was too humid to co...

2-0 Island. By quite some margin will be the smallest country to ever qualify for the World Cup (population 330,000). Previous smallest was Trinidad & Tobago (pop. 1.2 million). What an amazing story in how Iceland rebuilt their program. A lot of lessons for other countries and sports, for that...

Biggest shock, the Jets have a winning record! I thought the under of 3.5 wins was a guaranteed bet this year. They had the easiest games on their schedule the past 3 weeks, so I give them a 50/50 chance of going 3-13.

Tim Weah looks exceptionally talented, he was a lot of fun to watch. Akinola shows flashes of talent, but he looked really nervous, or just has terrible touch.

I'm really torn on the Roy Moore win. On one hand, he is one of the most horrendous Congressional candidates ever, but OTOH, Trump went all in on Strange and got destroyed.

I fully support the kneeling protest, but if an owner or coach wants to prohibit a player from kneeling, I don't have a problem with that, either.

Many owners, most notably Woody Johnson, are quite poltical themselves. Seven different owners personally gave a full $1M to Trump's inauguration fund.
