  1. I was just coming here to post…
  2. I am a 2E shoe guy and so I don’t buy NIKEs. ASICS is my brand. Don’t think that they make a lot of Longhorn shoes.
  3. I like this guy’s tie collection. Bobby was giving off a major Don Zimmer vibe in this video. Total doppelgänger!
  4. Dallas Turner is about to be the most fined & suspended rookie in the NFL. After watching the video, I am thinking that Jayden is going to be glad that he no longer plays college football, because QBs are much more protected in the NFL.

    I would be floored. After all of the shit from the World Cup fallout and then BJ wins the Nations League with ease in 2023, to then bring back a shlub that some players were vocally not impressed with, you are committed to this guy. US Soccer hired a guy who was then given Gregg’s strengths as strengths to look for when hiring a new manager and low-and-behold, Gregg checked off all of the boxes? SHOCKING! I don’t even think that Gregg would be fired if we lost all 3 group games at the Copa. His seat isn’t even warm. We needed to lose to Jamaica’s B team AND not make it out of the group in the Copa and only then, would there be a hot seat. Then it would depend on a player mutiny and pushback from financial sponsors & talking heads. Not one talking head thinks that Gregg is a good manager, but they all accept that he is the guy.

    Gregg would have only maybe been in trouble if we had (1) Lost to Jamaica 🇯🇲, AND (2) Not made it out of the group in the Copa. #1 didn’t happen. Gregg will be the manager through 2026 barring his demise in a car crash, falling off of a hotel balcony, slipping in the shower and falling on a gun that unloads 3 to 5 rounds in his back & head, food poisoning of the Putin-esque kind, a politician sicks his mob on him… The loss to Jamaica really needed to happen. It didn’t. The talking heads on podcasts and such ask “Which big name coach is available? Who would really take this job right now?” I would take BJ Callaghan in a heartbeat right now. It doesn’t have to be a big name, it just needs to be a person who understands how to let the players cook. 🤬
  8. I love how she is talking about having a good attitude and “positive body language”. 👀 Has Collins undergone an exorcism recently? 😂
  9. Not as Longhorn friendly as some previous mock drafts. I still can’t believe that Penix isn’t seen as a 1st round QB.
  10. Apparently Sabalenka was no longer with the “boyfriend” who came to Miami to commit suicide. Aryna Sabalenka capitulates in sad scene at Miami Open after ex-boyfriend Konstantin Koltsov’s death The Australian Open champion’s emotions finally came pouring out after bottling up a tragic week. A tragic and emotional week for two-time Australian Open tennis champion Aryna Sabalenka has come to an end with a third-round loss to Anhelina Kalinina at the Miami Open — just days after her ex-boyfriend reportedly took his own life. Former Belarusian national ice hockey player Konstantin Koltsov passed away on Monday morning in what the Miami-Dade Police Department described as an “apparent suicide”. Sabalenka and Koltsov dated for about three years but had recently broken up before the 42-year-old’s death. And after a gutsy second-round win on Friday over best friend Paula Badosa, the world No.2 appeared to have little left in the tank physically, mentally or emotionally for a late night Saturday stadium court battle with Ukrainian Kalinina. When her return wide gave Kalinina the 6-4, 1-6, 6-1 result, the 25-year-old Belarusian bowed her head, took a few steps then flew into a rage, venting her frustration by smashing her racquet to pieces at centre court. With racquet destroyed, she then turned and walked off court without shaking the Ukrainian’s hand. “It’s always tough to play on big stages against these top players,” Kalinina said. “Today was really tough with nerves but I managed in the tough moments to deal with it. So, I’m a little bit proud of myself today.” https://7news.com.au/sport/tennis/aryna-sabalenka-capitulates-in-sad-scene-at-miami-open-after-ex-boyfriend-konstantin-koltsovs-death-c-14065975.amp
  11. You afraid that he’d joined his sister? 😇
  12. Once you start dating a WTA tour player (AdM ❤️ KB), I guess that you occasionally see some WTA score lines.

    For some readers my fingers typed “diety” instead of “dirty”. How did that not autocorrect? Anyway… FIXED.

    Great updated video that includes Diety Sanchez (GK) trying to take a swipe at a celebrating USMNT player. So fucking Mexicant.

    I recorded the Univision feed… but it turns out that it didn’t record. Pinche puto DirecTV Stream!

    There were 4 sports channels when I lived there and each channel had round table shows discussing soccer. It’s everywhere, so you could point out the failings of managers and still work. I think that even Diego was getting criticized for stinking up the place during qualifying for 2010, especially after Argentina lost 6-1 to Bolivia (or 6-0) due to Diego’s plan of flying to altitude the day before the game and then pressing all over the field. (La Paz, Bolivia is over 2 miles above sea level.) And when Diego & friends finally secured qualification (in a downpour on a marginally offsides goal before the days of VAR), Diego repeatedly barked to reporters in the hall outside of the locker room: ”Who’s going to suck me next?” In English we would say “Blow me” or “suck my dick”. A national hero on the pitch and a national embarrassment off of it. You could take Diego out of the ghetto, but you couldn’t take the ghetto out of Diego. But Diego was chosen as the manager after the previous manager had been fired during qualifying. In Argentina, it wasn’t unheard of for a manager not to make the it through qualifying, but the federation tried to choose wisely so that they didn’t have to make a change, but the press didn’t refrain from criticizing the manager if the guy sucked ass. Diego Maradona & Lionel Scaloni are the only two managers I know of who had less of a managing resume than Gregg, but one was a legend and the other was an assistant coach that filled in on a temporary basis and proved to be amazing.
  18. Busio has been on the scene for about 8 years. …and he’s still Olympic eligible. Hope Tessmann (sp?) is on the team as well.
  19. Speaking of The SEC, where “[They] Have Nothing Else.” (a.k.a. “It means more.”) My brother went to Yale and showed up to see that Yale was leading in the last minute over Auburn. After laughing at the score, he turned and asked: ”What conference is Auburn in?” …because he honestly had no idea. 😂

    I think that Herc Gomez is on the outs with US Soccer, but ESPN loves that he has experience playing in Mexico 🇲🇽 & the USA 🇺🇸, plus USMNT experience at a World Cup. No one else feels comfortable speaking the truth, because if they do then they won’t be selected to call USMNT games or be part of the studio team. For people who have almost no other bankable skills but to talk about soccer, that is a huge deterrent to speaking the truth. It isn’t like all of these former players think that Berhalter is great. They know that he’s shit, but he is friends with the powers that be and US Soccer feels comfortable with him. I really wish that there hadn’t been an own goal at the buzzer.
  21. “He’s a culture guy, right? Tremendous love for the game and does things the right way. Total buy-in from Day 1.”
  22. Q: “Who are 3 players who couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn against Colorado State, Alex?” A.T.: “Correct for $400.”
  23. 😂 Aßmas is one of Beard’s players? Weaver is one of Beard’s player? Shedrick is one of Beard’s player? Horton is one of Beard’s player? Cunningham is one of Beard’s player? Did you eat a shit-for-brains breakfast sandwich this morning? What in the hell are you even talking about?
  24. Some day I hope to find a woman who looks at me like McDaniel is looking at Worthy.
