    Garoppolo-Butler Prediction Thread

    Butler definitely stays. The closest comp is Welker, but the media is wildly misunderstanding the Welker trade. Welker had a second round tender on him. In order to get Miami to agree to the sign-and-trade, Scott Pioli had to offer the second rounder plus a deal-sweetening seventh rounder (which...

    2017 Butler Watch: Love Me Tender

    This is where I'm at; the only thing this situation tells me is that the media has no idea how negotiations work. Say you're Butler's agent. You have no leverage, and you know it. Your client wants a big deal. How do you get leverage? Most straightforward answer: act like you have zero...

    USMNT: To Rüssia With Love

    Evans and Zusi at right back over Rosenberry is Klinsmann-esque, but otherwise looks good to me.

    MLS Turns 21 - the 2016 season

    Oguchi Onyewu is training with the Revs. He hasn't played since February 2015 to my knowledge. Whatever happened to Will Packwood? Best I can tell he's still unattached, but he'd be worth another look- their defense is in shambles.

    One Strike and You're Out: The 2015 MLS In-Season Thread

    NYCFC sacks Jason Kreis.   Pretty bone-headed move IMO.

    One Strike and You're Out: The 2015 MLS In-Season Thread

    They need to leapfrog two of Columbus, Toronto, and Montreal. Columbus has 50 points and plays DC, Toronto and Montreal have 49 and 48 points and play each other, and the Revs have 47 points and play NYCFC. So its possible, just unlikely. Simplest scenario Revs win, Columbus loses, and there's a...

    Analytics and the Premier League

    A general point: inevitably when Moneyball comes up there are two different ways of making signings that are both conflated and described as the "Moneyball philosophy":   Moneyball philosophy #1: using advanced statistics to scout and sign players "right out of the computer"   Moneyball...

    USMNT: To Rüssia With Love

      It would be fitting if, after all the experimenting that has gone on with the back line, the four starters for Mexico end up being the same four who started the World Cup.   Though knowing Klinsmann we'll get Alvarado and Orozco of course.

    USMNT: To Rüssia With Love

    Yeah I don't know if I would say I hate Heaps but I definitely wouldn't want him coaching the national team. Like Klinsmann, his tactics are pretty mediocre (he makes the same subs pretty much EVERY match, its mind-boggling) but unlike Klinsmann he doesn't have much of a reputation as a...
