    Global Football Odds & Ends

    They're also in an important tournament right now, and would (rightly) say that their focus is on the present, not the past. Like, who wants the attention being taken off the Olympics and possible medal contention? What for? Who would gain? Certainly not the top teams hoping to make the...

    5-Ring Circus: The Olympics Soccer Thread

    Post the rant when you see it, because they will absolutely clip that and put it online and it will be epic. That man hates Jesse Marsch like Fletcherpost hates English politicians.

    Would really suck if Marsch was in on that, because it'll follow him around. I kinda wanted to root for him actually being a good and effective manager.

    2023-2024 Celtics Rewatch: Best Games?

    Nobody throws shade on people you might think they shouldn't, like the NBA's social media team does. Their twitter feed alone is like they hired the Wendy's social media people who go "roast" other companies' accounts on-demand. It's one of the best aspects of Gen Z arriving in the workplace...

    2023-2024 Celtics Rewatch: Best Games?

    For "pulling our heads out of our asses" games, Nov 15th vs Philly was pretty good. It did lack this drama, however. Then again, most of our games this year lacked drama.

    I've certainly never heard of it happening before.

    2023-2024 Celtics Rewatch: Best Games?

    Both Minnesota games. The first OKC game. Dec 1st vs Philly where our execution went to another level down the stretch. @ Phoenix in March where we'd just lost two in a row (the Dean Wade game and @ Denver) and you could tell the guys were pissed about that. The Pelicans game where JB took...

    Dayam, she was a rising star too. Makes you wonder if she beat the USA fair and square in the Tokyo Olympics semifinals.

    2024 NBA General Offseason Thread

    ...which is why (to be clear) the first line of my post was sarcasm. Because I thought it obvious that this sort of cherry-picking, though perhaps interesting to some, was not some major statement about a player's ability to contribute to wins in the playoffs. That it added more heat than...

    The Straight Dope: PEDs and the Olympics

    The IOC threatens to cancel their agreement to host the 2034 Winter Games at Salt Lake City if the US Dept of Justice doesn't stop their investigation into the Chinese doping program that WADA had previously cleared...

    I mean, it's not like I'd expect either of them to take points off of France.

    5-Ring Circus: The Olympics Soccer Thread

    Last 10 minutes of that first half were great for the US. Our defensive plan seems to funnel the ball exactly where our (veteran) CBs can expect it, and we were able to spring some attacks in those last moments. Aaronson is going to see that shot again in his sleep tonight, win lose or draw...
