  1. So stupid to have so many shirt sponsors for betting books and then half the video boards are betting sites and then get all crazy or surprised when a guy gets in trouble for something related to betting. A generation ago there was a sportsbook in like very third building of a shopping street in every neighborhood in London, its nothing new over there.
  2. He was at the Southside Des Moines location of Jethro's BBQ, about a mile from the airport last night. The unscheduled or unpromoted event had the politics guy from channel 13 there to take video and pictures with his phone. Trump had canceled his afternoon rally just around the corner at the park nearby. I drove past the area today, and there were 2 different video billboards with Ron Desantis PAC ads on them in the very short area between the park and the airport.
  3. "Did your brain fall out of your head?" That was my go to insult for any flame war. I guess I have to find a new one now.
  4. The pundits and articles I read point to the team having too many young players, not enough experience and the most talented players didn't score any goals in any meaningful games. The did another Fifa Career Mode type of deal where they signed one of the fastest players in football anywhere in the world, then they guy didn't contribute much. Theo Walcott looked really fast when he was young, but that was almost 20 years ago. They will be one division above Portsmouth for at least another year.
  5. Fifa may say that the tournament was relocated because of the Israeli team controversy. But the infamous Bali Bonk Ban also played a role.
  6. Tactical cam feed on Golazo network free on Pluto and other apps. I am strangely entranced, its like being in the stadium.
  7. I was listening to a guest caller on the local sports talk radio station today. He laid out a really logical case that if you are a coach inheriting a team full of no talent scrubs, the fastest way to start winning is the get rid of all the scrubs as fast as possible. Its ugly as hell, but it does make sense. The transfer players and hot recruits won't gel or come together for the early season games, but they could finish the season on a good note and look better heading into next year.
  8. I have a journalist who tweets out a list of the most engaged and active twitter feeds every week. I recognized one of the accounts, Kanekoa The Great, very high on the list. I made the mistake of scrolling through the feed and seeing its mostly reposts of videos from other people. I tried looking up what this guy does that makes him so special, but its mostly just reposts of content he doesn't create. The kind of material that Elon retweets or likes or responds positively. Now every time I load up the desktop, the top recommended guy to follow is this Kanekoa guy. So many accounts are getting less engagement, their follower counts stagnating, very few responses, and then a guy like this gets straight to the top of the charts by posting curated and clipped videos.
  9. I remember watching a Colorado game on ESPN when the star of their team was a super recruit named Darrell Scott and this was at a down time for the team and one good running back can't do much for a program and Scott was out the door at the end of the season.
  10. Napoli and Fiorentina streaming free on the Golazo channel on Pluto. Insanely festive atmosphere at the stadium.
  11. I don't want to sound melodramatic, but the clash earlier today at Ochilview Park in Stenhousemuir just outside Falkirk in Scotland, may have been the greatest game in the history of football.
  12. While many of you are likely yelling "GO HAALAND or "GO MBAPPE!" I'm yelling "GO FINANCIAL FAIR PLAY and good custodians of football clubs! due diligence on sources of wealth! sound financial business models!
  13. Everyone and their dog on twitter struggles to get 10% or their follower count to view their tweets or their videos. This guy gets 80M views and 23M video plays in just a couple days.
  14. Three billion dollar slump buster.
  15. Mark your calendars, May 5th, Queens Park versus Dundee in a last match title decider to see who gets promoted to the Scottish Premiership.
  16. Boston College and Rutgers used to play every year in the old Big East now we get their doppelganger USFL teams going at it today.
  17. They get this guy back from loan, or maybe they sell this guy I dunno
  18. I sat through and watched the first half of the Brighton-Wolves game today.
  19. Checks twitter. Sees The Onion trending. Stick finger on phone to check it out. Scrolls through the terrible results to find out what is actually getting engagement.
  20. I still think Alex Smith could come back and outplay a lot of these guys.
  21. Yesterday the USFL had a team with 49er uniforms up against something that looked like the Michigan Wolverines had mixed their laundry with some wrong color clothes.
  22. Nebraska Cornhusker doppelgangers in a close game today.
  23. I was talking to a coworker at work the other day, and the subject of our television watching habits came up. I told him that I finish every day by catching the latest sports news and commentary on The Entertainment Sports Programming Network. He looked at me weird before I clarified that many younger people know the cable channel as simply ESPN. I have not spoken to that guy since then.
