Chris Richards got 20 minutes for Bayern. Who is Chris Richards? Center back, Dallas academy product that Bayern bought before he made it to the FCD first team. Those who follow youth internationals seem to be really high on him, to the point where he could be a USMNT regular by the end of qualifyi...

Is it better for the republican machinery to try to ram a nominee through(which I’m guessing will be unpopular even by gop governing standards), or is it better to turn the election into judges v Biden instead of Trump v Biden?

I'm less convinced Dest would get consistent minutes in whatever Barca are going to be this year, especially since they apparently were wanting a loan arrangement where they'd have less skin in the game. Koeman taking over helps his chances for sure. Koeman probably a bad hire for Barca, but a good...

IMO I think there's a clearer path to minutes at Bayern, they have multiple RB options but they are all guys who are best at other positions(Pavard at CB, Kimmich in midfield). Plus those primary positions are looking weaker with Thiago leaving and Boateng being a year older. I'm less convinced Dest...

"everyone knows that shorts are a perfectly reasonable wardrobe option in warmer temperatures. What my TED talk presupposes is, maybe they're actually a garment from Satan himself"

I haven't thought the consequences all the way through, but that strikes me as something that may be unfair across players(e.g. Bryant v. Happ), but ultimately not a negative on the whole for the player pool. For a point of comparison, last year there were 12 hearings, the combined difference betwee...

I think the motivation is probably more increased revenue than marginally decreasing salaries, but even if this meant the owners had to pay players more this is a terrible idea.

I guess I've always seen Adams in that role - not through my own expertise - I thought it was kind of a known thing. Anyway, glad to see he'll be playing there for Leipzig. I think most people want him there for the USMNT, the main question is if he had enough regista in him for Berhalter's tastes,...

Why not just value the message/warning, AND recognize that these are the dickheads responsible, and they're still just finding ways to profit off of it? Why try to vindicate or excuse them in any way? Out of curiosity, does that mean it's basically impossible to deliver that message/warning without...

Has anybody watched “The Social Delimma”? I haven’t yet, but the people than I’ve seen on suggesting it are either reasonable, critical thinkers, or have been QAnon/Trump fanboys. I haven't seen it, but I did see this as a maybe telling description of it: https://twitter.com/calebsaysthings/status/...

Yeah, all the older relatives I've had who end up with Apple stuff always then end up in a spot where they can really only use Apple stuff because of how much all of those small differences build up. Now you're stuck getting them a new iPad every few years just because any other system will gather ...

Last I checked, mac keyboards are still missing one of the backspace / delete keys. Has this finally been corrected 30+ years later? Macs have a delete key that works like backspace. I'm sure it works like delete with a shortcut as well, but in the ~5 years since I started using a macbook I don't t...

what OS/machine doesn't have a backspace button? Correct me if it's changed, but the last time I used an iPhone for a while, the back option was in the upper left hand corner for only certain apps, otherwise it was a matter of attempting to use a swipe motion from the left side of the screen instea...

Is there a decent MLS game on nationally (ESPN?) that I can watch. Watched some lower level Premier League this weekend and would be curious to compare. Only national game today is Galaxy/San Jose on TUDN and (for some reason) Twitter . The Galaxy have been on a nice run even without Chicharito, bu...

Martinez is controlled for 2-3 more years, if the DH is here to stay he does have some value of what he is this year isn’t the new norm. He just turned 32 and last year he only managed a 101 wRC+, hard to be very confident of much future value since he is poison with a glove in his hand. If we are ...

I know Martinez can still be called back up and do something with the Cubs, but as it stands right now, this would be the second year in a row where the Cubs made a Mid-season trade for a MLB position player who literally does not get a hit or them. Martinez is controlled for 2-3 more years, if the...

You sure are.

The way I think of Morris is that he sets a high enough floor that you need some consistent substance to unseat him. He's not an ideal match for the USMNT starting 11 because Pulisic's best position in the current system is on the wing, and Morris is much better at beating his man to the endline whi...

What percent of the population do you think are "never-maskers"?

i admittedly don't know a lot about this, but why do we look at national polling so much and try to extrapolate a likelihood of winning the EC based off of that instead of just looking at statewide polling in swing states? isn't biden holding pretty comfortable margins in most and at least close to...

Undermine and delegitimize are two pretty different things though. Undermine is using whatever power that they still have to impede Democratic policy through mostly legitimate ways, in terms of legality. An entire party believing a president is not legitimate isn't that far off from 'well we don't ...
