  1. Forecast indicates that rain is coming on at least Saturday.
  2. Watson will definitely play again if he isn't charged criminally. If he is charged, he may be done. The world is a much different place than it was 5 years ago. Roethlisberger was suspended 4 games for the 2010 incident and wasn't charged criminally. Kobe "Jesus" Bryant wasn't suspended at all despite being charged criminally and paying his accuser $2.5 million.
  3. As long as they have narcan available at the tee
  4. So Dallas is at full capacity like the Rangers?
  5. Zombie Deadspin (and Rob Parker specifically) produces some of the worst content on the internet. Deadspin was garbage before the staff quit en masse following the bankruptcy sale, but the new product is much worse.
  6. Stunning how many morons in media and politics appear to believe that relocating the Masters out of Georgia is even a consideration.
  7. I have said it before but free academies at every USL team is the closest we will get to inverting the pyramid in our lifetime.
  8. Good idea. Anything that boosts the USL is a good thing for American soccer.

    USMNT 2021

    No player did more to stop the flow of American talent to Europe than Jozy. The Daily Mail published a list of the worst strikers in EPL history a few years ago. Jozy came in at #1 and it is hard to dispute their reasoning. Jozy Altidore played 70 Premier League games for Hull and Sunderland. He scored a grand total of two Premier League goals. After a fairly non-eventful loan spell with Hull in 2009-10, he returned to England in 2013 after a prolific few years in the Dutch league with AZ. Sunderland, managed by Paulo Di Canio, spent £6m on the US international and he repaid their faith with one strike in 42 league games. Altidore looked big and strong, like anything could hit him and stick. He should have been a colossus, but he just wasn't. Clumsy on the ball and wild in front of goal it was the worst of combinations to spearhead a struggling Sunderland side battling relegation. He left for Toronto in January 2015, with a strike rate of one goal every 35 games that few Premier League strikers can hope to rival. He was also awful in the World Cup with 0 goals in 5 games. He also scored a grand total of 1 goal against Mexico (in a friendly for his first international goal). He's a flat track bully who made his living dominating overmatched competition while bottling the biggest moments/opportunities of his career.
  10. The pyramid is unquestionably inverting and doing so more rapidly than I expected 5-10 years ago. I have said it before but free academies at MLS and USL is about the best we can hope for. The economics of elite club soccer just don't support pyramid inversion below the professional level so depth will always be a challenge.
  11. Disagree. I don't even hear Buckeyes complain about that call.
  12. Better than Only the Good Die Young which came on as I was turning into the parking lot of my shot location.
  13. Dick also submitted it as the choice for 2 but Phil rejected it.
  14. It's out there. He runs straight for a cop with his gun pulled
  15. You have taught all of us that post on this thread and now the jazz thread that you are either an unredeemable cunt or afflicted with Asperbger's. Either way, seek professional treatment.
  16. 5/26/77 is a solid Spring 77 show, particularly set 2. I agree with fucknut that the the first set is noticeably "unjammy" after the strong Music, Sugaree start until the hot Bertha closer, but the second set is typically excellent May 77 dead.
  17. 12/19/73, 2/13/70 and 10/11/77 were the finalists for DiP 1. Latvala considered 9/21/72 in his initial evaluation but didn't want to cut it to 2 discs.
  18. United-Arsenal final would be amazing.
  19. The leap from making/approving bad football decisions and hires to coordinating sexual assault allegations against the most valuable asset of your business is dramatic.
  20. If it ever came to light that the Texans facilitated these claims in any way (regardless of their veracity), they would immediately become the ultimate pariah in professional sports and current ownership would be forced to sell the team at a discount.
  21. I find the Texans conspiracy theory far more credible than a scenario in which a professional athlete is a sexual predator.
