    Non-Patriots Free Agency News 2024

    I get picking a guy you like and missing. It happens. The aggressive PR job the Steelers did from owner down to the towel boy to hype up Kenny was shameless. They were all united on declaring he is the guy and they were all in - until they could sign Russ for the minimum. What's the old Judge...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    Did Tampa limit Brady's autonomy regarding Guerrero (or anything else)? I don't recall that being the case. I thought Brady made this a cost of doing business with him at that point of his career. I don't have a problem with Bill saying no to it, but it really bit him in the ass the last four years.

    If Harry Kane finally wins a trophy, he's going to really need to work for it.

    Still Not the Super League: Champions League 23/24

    True. We don't see guys play wide like they used to. Even though Figo was built like a bull (good luck to smaller defenders trying to move him off the ball) he was a classic winger who was primarily a facilitator. Today, he would be expected to play more like CR7/Bale/Son. We can observe how...

    Still Not the Super League: Champions League 23/24

    Fair question. I'm waiting to see my son's doctor, so I can go with a longer answer: Figo was a better player. He won world player of the year and his time at Barca is legendary; but his time for the Selecao was spotty. They missed out on USA '94 and '98. They were eliminated in the group stage...

    He's Portugal's third greatest player after Ronaldo and Eusebio. What a career.

    This news made me sick to my stomach. Life is so cruel and unfair.

    Artur Jorge dead at 78. Played/managed both Benfica and Portugal; but I believe best remembered as Porto's European Cup winning manager in 1987. They defeated Bayern 2-1 with Madjer scoring the winner with a heel kick. View: https://youtu.be/R51-OS7N_zs?si=nelGbEEE-xHedg_H When I started...

    The Special Ones (manager talk)

    I would blame it 100% on Jorge Mendes (Ronaldo also had issues); but Messi was never one of his clients and had to get dragged thru the mud too. Feels like a perfect storm of having shady agents and happily ignorant clients on one side and the Spanish IRS on the other.

    GW 24 - 2/10-11 - (one liner re: Everton @ City)

    Staying healthy is such a big variable for Jota, but he's unreal when he's playing and in form.

    HOF Class of 2024

    Or would announce while holding a small animal, like a Bond villain. I agree that the timing of his induction is tied to giving him a chance to experience it before it is too late.

    US, Canada, Mexico win joint bid for 2026 World Cup

    It's been over 30 years, but I got an offer in the mail to buy tickets for 1994 matches (before the draw) due to playing youth soccer. I don't remember the prices; but I remember feeling they were shockingly high. And that was before the popularity of the sport multiplied by a thousand here. I...
