  1. Pefok scores for Union Berlin against RB Leipzig: [tweet] [/tweet]
  2. Dortmund was...not great...when Gio was out there but it was mostly in the back third, just completely fell apart.
  3. Is he even relevant at this point? I mean, I guess if he just goes off . . . the other candidates seem to have all gone backwards. I think I have him 3rd in the pecking order now behind Ferreira and Pefok, with Pepi falling fast.
  4. Sargent with a brace today for Norwich, trying to make the starting striker position a difficult choice.
  5. Screw it, go all in an Leeds United States of America. [tweet] [/tweet]
  6. Pretty boneheaded play by Evans, who had a first down on a 3rd down run, but cut backwards and got tackled a half yard short
  7. Seems like you pissed him off Really pissed him off Yeah, really tagged the next two chances he got.
  8. I think if you're choosing between Man U and Newcastle, it's effectively a choice between a club fighting to avoid relegation...and Newcastle.
  9. New defensive scheme, new offensive line, opening against the Chiefs, this is about right.
  10. Steffens first action with QPR has been...not great. [tweet] [/tweet]
  11. Hopefully not continuing a run of first rate USMNT keeper options going to the EPL to not get playing time.
  12. Oh god, it's bad enough I'm gonna be stuck with his bobblehead Saturday now I might have to actually see him play I had briefly forgotten the Cubs were in STL this week and thought this was regarding them trading Madrigal to the Cards.
  13. Pulling a reverse-UMFan here, but the Cubs have had a 3-14 stretch, a 10 game losing streak, and a 9 game losing streak, in total encompassing a 3-33 stretch in which they were outscored by 134 runs. For the rest of the season, they've been 37-24 with a +69 differential (yes, 21 of that was in one game).
  14. Who knew that all it would take for the Cubs to look decent was to have any sort of starting pitching at all show up at some point?
  15. I'm old enough to remember when Kruk as a TV guy was a breath of fresh air and a "tells it like it is" novelty. Now he's late-80s Harry Caray.
  16. I'm not wholly convinced yesterday's extra inning win is going to have much effect on Smyly today.
  17. Cubs improve to a still unconscionably bad 4-11 in extras this season. No other team has more than 6 extra inning losses
  18. The Cubs have scored runs in extras, a new and different experience
  19. This US u20 team is dominating every opponent. Shame they didn't get a shot at Mexico, but they did play Canada, Costa Rica, Honduras and Cuba, which was effectively 4 of the top 8 teams in the region.
  20. On the flip side, Mexico fails to qualify for the Olympics because of a loss to Guatemala. EDIT: And that was the quarterfinals, and Guatemala proceeded to lose to the Dominican Republic in the semis, setting up the US-Dominican Republic final we all anticipated.
  21. Ha - relegation to create a "Big 10" and "Little 10"? Yep, Big Ten and other 10. Increase the # of high profile games in the conference, keep up the "Big Ten" moniker, incentivize the top schools to keep playing hard to the end, and guarantee a Michigan-Ohio State game every year (as long as neither finishes at the bottom of the conference).
  22. At this point, I'm expecting the Big Ten to expand to 20 teams, then split each sport into two 10-team divisions based on team quality that can vary year-to-year, so the top 10 division can still be referred to unironically as the "Big Ten"
  23. They have the Dallas market, which is effectively unattainable by the B1G at this point. As for the B1G waiting on ND before going to Washington/Oregon, I'm wondering if the B1G will look at other ACC teams if ND agrees to join, shoot for a UNC or some ACC rival that ND wants to maintain.
