The worst part about the Mewis dive is that she might have drawn a penalty if she hadn't pulled her leg. The French defender had lunged at the ball and missed it and left her leg right in Mewis's path.

Mewis has played well and can match up against the monster CB from France on set pieces, Lavelle is the only really creative MF and Ertz is the irreplaceable leader on the pitch and maintains discipline as the DM.
That is the argument. Not a good one though considering Horan is arguably the best MF in the world
Lavelle was really, really, really creative against Spain. Just when you thought "hey she's going to play the through ball right now because this is the best time to play it and create a major scoring chance" she would say "NOPE HAHAHA I WILL HOLD ONTO IT FOR TWO MORE SECONDS UNTIL THE CHANCE IS GONE I AM SO CREATIVE."

Fuck him for shitting on Sam. But the NFL was a different game in the 70’s and 80’s. Swann being in the HOF is more of a joke than Bradshaw.Yeah it's a different game but he was never better than maybe the 5th best QB in the league. That's not a Hall of Fame career. When you have to sit and think about whether a QB was better than Ken Anderson he probably shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame.

Glad to hear they’re changing up Roschon’s mechanics. He definitely needs to make some changes. If he can improve his mechanics, he’ll be the clear lead dog to take over in 2021.
You know it’s the offseason because we’re hearing positive reports about Taquon Graham. Nobody in the Big 12 is scared of him. He was pretty terrible last year. I don’t care if he looks good in pads or can squat a metric shit ton, he absolutely disappears when the lights come on. He stands up straight and gets washed out of the play way too often. I’ll believe Graham’s improved when I actually see it in a game, but if this defense wants to have a chance at being elite, one of the young guys needs to beat Graham out early in the year.
Are there not lights in the Superdome? Graham whipped Georgia's ass in the Sugar Bowl in admittedly limited snaps. He was collapsing the pocket by shoving Georgia OL 4 yards into the backfield, he controlled his blocker and forced a fumble, and those were his first two snaps. He had a really good game and if referees called holding anymore it would have been a great game. He did well at disengaging the blockers with his shoulders square to the line, it's just that in modern football the OL are allowed to continue holding onto the DL's pads with an outstretched arm even after he disengages. Like on this play where he eventually spins and yanks Graham to the ground:

can't believe i'm going to say this but... fuck... i think this might be true.
Harsin was better, but was only here for two years. Other than that, though, we've been pretty much wandering in the wilderness.
Holy shit this was a bad post. I'm going to stop, make this post, then continue reading the thread. If you haven't been eviscerated to the point of apology by the time I get to the end then this board is as bad as the football board -
Claims he wants to finish up playing for his hometown team Las Palmas but they'd have to get to La Liga. Considering they were solidly mid-table in the second division last year I don't see how that happens.

David Silva announced this will be his last season for City. What a stud.

The Red Bull era looks like what I'd want long-term if we could actually choose. I'm fine with one team being clearly the best (although it's nice that it cycles), but around 50% of race wins should be the limit. Plus there were three other teams tasting victory at least somewhat consistently.

I didn't say I didn't "want the news", I can read the article just fine. I stand by my opinion that it's sensationalized media and the pictures didn't need to be posted.
Your opinion is wrong.
The very fact it bothers you this much is exactly why you need to see it.

Other than career points, does anyone actually care about total stats? John Stockton is barely in the best point guard conversation, despite being the all-time leader in assists and steals.
I think Pam's post was a direct response to the insertion of the baseball season's length into the discussion. Baseball fans obviously care a lot about career totals so dropping that season by 25% is never going to happen.
Not to mention baseball actually needs far more games than any other sport because of the nature of the game. The worse team beats the better team in baseball far more often than other sports.

On the multi year scholarship is one area we can agree on completely.
This is actually a point that most people agree on even if they start out on opposite sides of the argument. And that's why I think it should be at the forefront of the debate.
If a player does not have a guaranteed multi-year scholarship then he should have complete freedom to transfer with no forced sitting out at all. If the schools want to control a player's movement then they need to have some skin in that game. If the school didn't guarantee the scholarship for multiple years then the player should have the right to decline the following year's scholarship just like the school has the power to decline giving the scholarship for the following year. And he should then have zero restrictions on his movement.
And don't get me started on how non-scholarship players have their movement restricted. That is 100% unadulterated bullshit. The schools have made zero commitment to those players but expect loyalty and punish them if they want to move. The players need to beat that drum loudly and continuously so that the general public understands that the NCAA's and their constituents' wishes to restrict player movement have nothing to do with actual concern for the welfare of "student-athletes" and 100% to do with maintaining control and profit margins. -

It sucks for us fans but I believe players should not only be able to transfer without permission but they should not have to sit out a year. Yet, I still believe the transfer portal should be closed for the first two years. When a person signs a contract in the real world they have to honor it. So these players make a commitment, regardless of promises they know they have to compete for a job. They should at least honor a two year commitment. Grow up a little. Limit transfers to one for their career in college.
It is like everything in the free market. To much regulation and nothing gets done. To little and it is the early 1900's with children working, no middle class and people being shot for asking to make things better. It is human nature to cut corners for self interest at the expense of others and the right balance of rules are always needed.
Terrible. They should be allowed to move whenever they want. Do regular students have these burdensome limitations put on them? Are coaches required to sit out a year when they take a new job? Are NCAA administrators locked down for two years even if a better job comes calling? You know the answer to all those questions. The only way I can see requiring anything of players is if schools guarantee multi-year scholarships. If a player has a guaranteed multi-year scholarship then we can start discussing the concept of an adult signing a contract that entails a multi-year commitment. What you're suggesting is the same thing that exists now where all the power is with the school that is raking in money hand over fist. They are under no obligation to renew a player's scholarship but the player is obligated to stay there or suffer consequences associated with changing schools. It's bullshit.

On one hand we got players that put us over the top via free agency. On the other we lost knowing the great ones would only be on one team and be only ours. For, the players it was great and well deserved. For many of us that had to make the transition it sucked.
Tough shit, we're not the ones doing the work.

I had basically a full fellowship in grad school. But I was still eligible for an interest-free student loan. So I took advantage of that and used the cash to buy a truck.
Well then you get a new truck. Can I count on your vote?

And that's why it is seriously damaging the sport's long term health. Coach Bakich at Michigan is a national hero for his attitude about inner-city kids, etc. High school coaches in all sports are outsourcing their jobs to club teams and it is absolutely screwing over talented kids from lower income families. When faced with one cut to make and two freshman of relatively equal skill, a smart high school coach would cut the kid who's played club ball for 8 years. The other kid has more room for improvement over the next 4 seasons. But that's not the decision that most high school coaches make. Ol' Johnny Club Ball's dad will donate more to the booster club during his 4 seasons.

Yeah, first foul in the box was on Holland. A Japanese player got the shit kicked out of her ankle before the Japanese player did the same to the Dutch defender. That was a mad scramble.

So let me get this straight, you guys just got a dude banned who was cutting his teeth learning how to post and actively engaged in the conversation? And then the S2YB rube shows up around the same time to remind us that word soup is a thing and you guys start actively engaging him in conversation to remind those of us who have put him on ignore that he exists? Yet you haven't actually done a fucking thing about remedying the site of his insipid shit when that would legitimately be a productive crowdsourcing? And then, AND THEN, you go all fucking elitist on the football board in the middle of that?
Fucking solid work. I'm all for clubbing baby seals, but it would be more impressive to take down the manatee with 360 rep points that floats by this board to slow fart, groan, and generally get in the way.
While you have a point, SWC made the classic blunder of whining about his rep total when it was low enough to hit -100 within minutes.

Disch-Falk is not nearly the cavernous monstrosity that Texas fans like to think it is. The problem is much more the hitters than the park.
We hit 18 home runs in 32 home games. We hit 9 home runs in 22 road games. It's a bit of a pitchers park but not nearly as much as people believe.

My favorite b_t "everyone else is being emotional while I'm being rational" moment was when he immediately bought Sabrina Erdely's story in Rolling Stone hook, line, and sinker then proceeded to berate everyone whose bullshit detector was actually functional.“Conservatives make this sane argument” is also not an argument.
And this entire thread is emotionalist, beginning with its title.
It's his go to move. It's his personal "every accusation is a confession" moment except it repeats.
