    2024 CONMEBOL Copa America tournament

    I honestly don't know what explains the dip in Molina's form. My very unsophisticated answer is that Molina simply seems off -- perhaps too tentative at times, perhaps too unsure at times, perhaps too inconsistent at times. As a result, Simeone has opted to use Llorente over Molina, which...

    2024 College Basketball Coaching Carousel

    Mike Hopkins is out at the University of Washington. He finished his time there just a bit over a .500 winning percentage.

    2024 College Basketball Coaching Carousel

    I had no idea that Michigan was so bad this year. When was the last time Michigan won only 8 games?

    Still Not the Super League: Champions League 23/24

    I had Atletico and Dortmund as lowest ranked teams, so that gives me some encouragement that Atleti can advance.

    Still Not the Super League: Champions League 23/24

    Vaya partido! I agree with you that Atletico was impressive. What a relief to actually win in penalties this time!

    Return of the Galácticos? Spanish Fútbol 23-24

    It is indeed baffling -- and very frustrating -- that Atletico is so poor away from home. I know that el Metropolitano can be loud and the fans offer tons of energy, but there must be something else going on to explain why Atletico is so shit when on the road. Sigh. Griezmann is clearly so...

    Return of the Galácticos? Spanish Fútbol 23-24

    There's some truth to the statement about aging, especially within the defense. There's clearly a need to build the next generation of defenders and load up with players within the ages of like 22-26. - Gimenez is 29 and very often injured (he missed yesterday's game due to injury) -...

    Return of the Galácticos? Spanish Fútbol 23-24

    I forgot that you’re also an Alteti fan. What is the problem right now? I can’t really figure it out.

    Return of the Galácticos? Spanish Fútbol 23-24

    Another Athletic goal. Total ass-kicking. Fortunately, work has prevented me from watching this shit show.

    Return of the Galácticos? Spanish Fútbol 23-24

    Correa is a favorite of mine -- he's quietly accepted his secondary role over many years, has scored some big goals, and sometimes offers a spark of creativity that the team may lack. He's at over 400 appearances for Atletico, which is an impressive feat. At the same time, part of the reason why...

    Return of the Galácticos? Spanish Fútbol 23-24

    Now 3-0. Athletic really can be electric. Atletico is simply not the same without Griezmann -- he's really the engine that drives Atletico and the team drops a few levels without him.

    Wild Winter Fun- January 2024 Transfer Window

    Atletico will remain pesky as long as Simeone is at the hlem, but my view is that team's iffy finances will prevent a big-splash signing -- especially since no one is going to want to pay for Joao Felix after his so-so performance at Barca. Plus, Griezmann is not ageless and may only has one...

    Wild Winter Fun- January 2024 Transfer Window

    Real Madrid will be formidable for the next few years. Sigh. If a manager can make it work with Vinicius, Rodrygo, Bellingham, Mbappe, Camavinga, Tchouaméni, and Valverde, the team will be electric. Of course, Real Madrid will need to replace Modrid and Kroos as they age, but that core seven...

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

    Did you watch the Sporting-Oviedo match? It was not in ESPN+, so I didn’t see it. The final score and stats suggest it was a tight match. Did Oviedo come close to scoring at all?

    Vini brought his best today — he can be electric.

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

    I wonder how long it has been since the Asturian Derby was played with both teams within 3-4 points of second place. Oviedo hasn’t lost in eight league matches, while Sporting has but a bit of a rough patch, but with a lot at play, it’s going to be a fun one to watch.

    ESPN, FOX, Warner Bros to launch standalone streaming app

    Would this move mean that the Disney package would lose ESPN+? I don't really follow. I enjoy having Hulu and ESPN+ in one package.

    Wild Winter Fun- January 2024 Transfer Window

    He's really a fantastic manager -- he really gets the most of out of players and finds a way to get his young players to reach their potential. It's impressive.

    Worst game of the year from Brown — terrible game.

    Return of the Galácticos? Spanish Fútbol 23-24

    It seems to me that Xavi quickly grew tired of the criticism and the feeling of failure. Are the expectations just off — like, fans are demanding more than the team can give/do now and the goals are too lofty? My take is that it’s a talented roster, perhaps with some aging players and perhaps...
