  1. 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.
  3. “He’s a culture guy, right? Tremendous love for the game and does things the right way. Total buy-in from Day 1.”
  4. Q: “Who are 3 players who couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn against Colorado State, Alex?” A.T.: “Correct for $400.”
  5. 😂 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?
  6. Some day I hope to find a woman who looks at me like McDaniel is looking at Worthy.

    I didn’t watch, but I would have loved a loss. Jamaica with their scrub team beating our best 23 man roster in years… That would have been glorious for those of us who hate Gregg & US Soccer’s bullshit.

  9. article hot take: Christian Williams: Michael Penix Jr. is the most overrated player on this list, not because of talent but because of injury and age concerns that could limit draft capital upside. Penix is a great deep ball thrower operating a well-designed offense, but the injuries he's experienced show up on film (his movement skills are much worse now than when he was afreshman). He's also an older prospect. Penix looks like a second-round pick, at best,giving him a lot less value than some are speculating. 🙄 Agreed! You do NOT want a QB with tons of starting experience who throws beautiful deep balls and has learned to bide his time in the pocket while avoiding pressure before launching pinpoint passes who will be on a 5 year rookie contract. You want a younger guy with limited starts and inferior production.
  10. It’s also called Fútbol, Futebol, Calcio, Fussball (Fußball), and other shit. Predictiom: France 6 USA 0
  11. You didn’t notice that Sean Connery and his buddy were crinkling around in every scene?
  12. 3) Pocket Awareness/ Extending plays while going through his progressions. I think that #3 is what is holding Quinn down the most. If Quinn had declared for the draft this year, he would’ve been a 3rd to 5th round pick that a team would have planned to sit two years before seeing what they had. Quinn’s pocket awareness/ speed of goin through his progressions/ inability to extend plays are what would get him killed in the NFL right now. The NFL rules that outlaw Dallas Turner-type plays would be his only hope of staying off the IR. PS- Quinn is likely going to make more money this year via NIL than he would being drafted in the middle rounds, and he gets to continue to develop under a (former) NFL OC.
  13. Badosa was moving gingerly the last 3 or 4 games, but she pulled out the win. SH: 6 4 3 PB: 1 6 6
  14. DId Badosa have surgery or something? She was out for a while and then played the mixed doubles exhibition before Indian Wells before promptly pulling out of the main draw.
  15. Saw that Venus lost in straight sets after accepting yet another Wild Card invite that could have gone to some promising up-and-coming American. Venus has no shame. And after seeing this... And then this... I thought... "I'll give Emma some lower back pain." Also, didn't realize that Raducanu had fallen to ... . . .
  16. Koltsov was in Florida supporting Sabalenka ahead of the upcoming Miami Open. Despite Kolstov's shock passing, the two-time Australian Open champion still intends to play the tournament in the Sunshine State, where she is seeded second, according to the Tennis Channel. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/tennis/article-13215259/Aryna-Sabalenkas-boyfriend-Konstantin-Koltsov-died-suicide.html Normally "Jumped from a balcony" means that Putin had the guy thrown off a balcony. Don't know if this guy was a critic of the Belarusian president sucking Putin's mini-pecker, but in this case... If Sabalenka "still intends to play the tournament", then I'm guessing that she broke up with him. Either that, or his brain is mush from CTE and he came to say "Goodbye" to Sabalenka before jumping. PS- She looks smoking hot in the photo above.

    I don’t like adding Aaronson. He sucks ass for months, if not a year and then finally gets dropped. He has one good game and he’s back in the squad. JFC, Gregg! What the fuck?
