guess who was standing next to the scorer and did absolutely nothing? That's right, Clarence Goodson. What? You didn't like his 2 inch vertical? Go back and watch it again. Goodson is all over his man, in fact is trying to get over his man to get to the ball. Bedoya's man is unmarked and has a free...

Wondo's the current version of Kreis, Twellmann, etc. Excellent in MLS. Short in the national team picture. I just can't see him doing consistently well against non-CONCACAF teams. I'm happy with the depth being shown. I don't want Parkhurst anywhere near a big game. Waddup, A? Agree on Wondo and w...

Nonlinear FC

I could be wrong about it being a CONCACAF requirement. But my point still stands ... it's stupid to put temporary grass fields on top of artificial turf. They did that here a few years ago, when RSL was playing in Rice Eccles, and hosted a qualifier one year and Real Madrid the next. It worked wel...

Took my son to the game in B'more yesterday... He won't soon forget that experience. What was crazy was the HON game (and it's happy horde of fans) were there for the game after us. At first I was like, HOLY SHIT there are a lot of ElSal fans, but quickly realized what was up walking into the stadiu...

Nonlinear FC

Yeah, we are actually in agreement... to a point. My point about depth is more about getting ATTACKING and POSSESSION guys into JK's system. And this is really important to this point, we need players that can actually help us win in Brazil. So, for guys like Holden (who I totally agree has massive ...

I thought we had a longer thread on this, but I think it must've been on the old new new old place. At any rate, that article really caught the team at an interesting moment. I read somewhere else that the last three coaches (including JK) have had this type of make or break moment at some point in ...

I thoguht it was funny. They're different, and don't take themselves too seriously. An update on the widely regarded Patrick-Olbermann stuff. Agreed. I haven't watched Sportscenter for any extended period of time for probably 5 or 6 years. It's boring as hell and if I want to watch highlights of so...

That was a classic case of let's just take the win and move on. It would've been nice to have another Panama-esque performance, but that would've required some semblance of rhythm from Honduras in the first half. Someone already mentioned it, but it there is a pretty big impact on the flow of the ga...

Nonlinear FC

Yeah, that makes me miss Charlie Davies. The goal against Algeria went Howard-> Donovan -> Altidore ->shot by Dempsey ->Goal by Donovan. 9 seconds from literally one goal to another. (Howard saved a header standing pretty much in the goal and launched that massive outlet to LD.) Fuck it. I'm watchin...

Wicker fucking baskets? C'mon. That's really stupid. Sorry, but we could all pull up a ton of examples where just the basic infrastructure for a given sport has been updated for various reasons in every sport. Not seeing the wind direction and speed on the green is a huge issue. You're altering a n...

I thought it looked really fake when I saw Clash of the Titans in the theater a million years ago. I still thought it was cool though. And yeah, that skeleton scene was really well done though. Much better than Clash . What's really interesting watching that clip is how far we've come in sound (fol...

When that happened in the book, I had to put the book down for awhile.

I know they're following the books, but I really kind of wish there wasn't a show next week. That episode was a dropkick in the nuts.

So, I know we have a larger thread on Klinsmann (or had one). I've been generally supportive of the bigger picture stuff he is trying to accomplish, but I'm becoming a little annoyed with a few on field and roster things. The biggest issue I have is that he can't seem to figure out Altidore is not a...

I've long ago stopped holding any kind of notion that refs are out to get my team. And the Caps have been prone to taking bad penalties in the playoffs. But, man... the disparity in this series, especially at MSG, is fucking nuts. The caps were 9th in the league in terms of staying out of the box. 2...

They're just a nuisance, not anything nefarious.

And unlike the fucking stink bugs that have infested the mid-atlantic, at least cicadas die off and don't seem to want to be up in your business (house). Stink bugs suck because they want to be warm, so they find their way into your house.

What's he kickstarting? Another shitty movie with an indie soundtrack? Exactly. And ruining Kickstarter in the process. Think of it as "Garden State Redux". It's all Veronica Mars's fault. But at least she's cute. Interesting that the creators of Kickstarter don't seem to have a problem w...

I wonder why it matters that it's a kicking motion. I know it might be heresy, but why not just let them kick it in? Hell, Ovechkin had a beautiful kick pass that started a nice 2 on 1 the other night. It's ok to pass with an obvious kicking motion, but not to score? I dunno, I guess I'm a soccer gu...

Caps already up 1-0 and just out hustling the Rangers all over the ice. Most of the 50-50 pucks and scrums in the corners seem to come up white. Similarly the Rangers pack it in D is letting the caps pass it around the edge and just fire pucks in from the point. Caps D-men are pretty strong at that...

Nonlinear FC

The embellishment stuff is getting fucking out of hand. And if people want to bitch about Ovechkin, they need to go back and watch/listen to what the NBC crew was saying about Callahan during game 2. Praising the guy for essentially running into a Caps guy in open ice and drawing a penalty. It's act...

Caps - Gers is gonna be nasty. They were scrumming early and often last night. Fehr's interference was strange. Lose puck in front of the net and he crushed the Ranger in front of the net. Also surprised Oleksy did not pick up a star. Blocks one off the face (like how he described himself as a blee...

Also, Jets/Caps/Isles/Rangers play lately aside, how bad is the East? If Pittsburgh is in the finals having played more than 15 games it will be a miracle. The West though, whatever 7 series play-out there are going to be awesome to watch. I know they are feeding on each other, but I'm not ready to...

Tonight's game in Washington vs. the Jets should be fun. Jets are one back of the Caps for the SE title, and then it's a total shitshow from 9th - 6th (+ the Caps) in the East with all 5 of those teams within 2 points of each other.

That's the first episode in a long time where I was completely shocked that the hour was up. FANTASTIC stuff. You kind of knew Dany knew what he was saying and was going to fuck shit up, but it was still AWESOME to watch. And you could see the Kingslayer and Brienne relationship kicking off when he ...

Smartest Man in the World - Jeff Probst. Very liberal, very smart, very funny. Sometimes his references fly over my head, but it's worth the listen.\ This is Greg Proops, not Jeff Probst. Although I 'm certain "Whose Line Is It, Anyway" and "Survivor" are almost the same show. I...

I suppose you could argue, and argue it well, that it was a hit from behind on a prone player. But "if he was hurt" or "if this" or "if that" don't have any bearing. More of a salt-in-the-wounds moment. I do have a suggested for you though, based on NHL rules *if* you ...

Yeah, bloodhounds. It's funny, we have so much high tech gadgetry, yet they had no idea where this kid went, within minutes of his fleeing. Do no police forces have tracking dogs anymore?

I'm not happy that I'm literally a couple of blocks outside the area where they just finished doing a house-by-house search, and this guy is fleeing by foot ... Just sayin'.
