    Can you believe it: Joe Castiglione, the 2024 Ford C. Frick Award winner!

    Fun fact, Joe Castig (my Dad always called him Joey C The Big Cheese) was a fraternity brother with my Dad at Colgate. My sister also went to Colgate and she got him to sign a copy of his book for him. Always enjoyed listening to his call when I subscribed to MLB audio back in the day when I...

    2023 Cowboys: Kellen Moore out as OC, McCarthy stuck in 1996

Losing him for...

    USMNT: Hold My Beer

    My 2 cents. I really thought the USMNT had a chance to beat the Dutch. Until I watched them systematically and methodically score that first goal. That was a masterclass in ball progression and breaking the press. Where the US was more chaotic in possession and off the ball, the Netherlands...

    The Arms (Errr, Legs) Race: 2022 Summer Transfer Window

    Telles is absolute garbage and should never see the field in a United kit again. He's going to be Shaw's backup and eventual replacement.

    USMNT: Hold My Beer

    Great article on Ricardo Pepi I didn't realize he grew up in San Eli, which is one of the poorest communities in El Paso County. The high school team has won several state championships in the last six years (El Paso always struggles to win statewide in any sport) so maybe it's a pool of...

    Cowboys: Dak returns

    Have to think that Jabril is going to play a lot more snaps now that the Cowboys have cut Jaylon Smith. Apparently PFF had him graded okay in coverage but terrible everywhere else with the exception of leading the league in celebrations after meaningless plays. I was surprised that they...

    USMNT: Hold My Beer

    I haven't logged on in a while but yeah I'm still around. Super excited for Pepi. It's nice to see a local kid succeed. Last one I can remember was Omar Salgado, who washed out and was playing for our USL team last year but unfortunately blew his knee out late in the season. Hope he stays on...

    Alphabet Soup: the NASL/USL/CPL/NISA/PDL/NPSL/UPSL/NCAA Soccer Thread

    Thought I would post an obligatory crest analysis for El Paso's new USL team. They just signed a local kid who participated in an open try out that apparently was well attended. He was previously working construction. Nice story and good PR move by the club. I wanted to try out until I...

    2018 Cowboys: Turning over the same leaf

    The most Dallas thing that could happen is that Cooper makes some splash plays, the defense keeps us in enough games to get to 9-7 and win the division and while we bow out to a superior team in the Wild Card game it promotes enough confidence in Garrett for him to get an extension. Based on...

    Manchester United 2018/2019: Third Season Voodoo

    This is a slow moving disaster in which the end is inevitable. They should rip the band-aid off and fire Mourinho. Yes it will cost them millions of dollars but there is a real danger that they miss Europa League qualifying much less top four, which will cost them millions more. The tactics are...

    2018 Cowboys: Turning over the same leaf

    Don't tell that to Scott Linehan. Will be interesting to see how teams scheme for that. The RPOs worked so well because the Giants defenders had very little discipline. The offense looked much improved from last week's shitshow but it was still pretty pedestrian. Take away the long pass to...

    Manchester United 2018/2019: Third Season Voodoo

    United fan here. Where Jose jumped the shark was everything he said post-match. While I get the frustration, you cannot win a game that you lost. You cannot measure success in anything other than wins and losses. Had Lukaku taken his chances in the first half, they could have been up 2-0 and...

    Potential Trade Deadline Targets

    Any thoughts on trading for Adrian Beltre? Cafardo recently reported that he would waive his no-trade clause to go to a contender. And given he's 39 and on the last year of his deal, the cost should be reasonable. The article indicated that the Sox had thought about it previously but had traded...

    Alphabet Soup: the NASL/USL/CPL/NISA/PDL/NPSL/UPSL/NCAA Soccer Thread

    Savy move by the club to to pick him up off the scrap heap. From what I can recall, there were complaints about his attitude. Going from first pick overall by Vancouver to hometown USL team is a long fall. Hopefully it’s a springboard for him to put things on the right track.

    USMNT Post-Mortem: What went wrong

    Alexi Lalas and Jeff Fucking Agoos. The two USMNT players I loathed above all others. Lalas was a star only because US Soccer thought he was marketable. That I now have to endure him as a talking head feels like a double whammy. I'm sure he's good at something, but soccer and...

    2018 Cowboys: Turning over the same leaf

    I'm guessing they take a WR in the second. Too many needs to waste a first rounder on one. LB or guard in the 1st and WR in the second.

    2018 Cowboys: Turning over the same leaf

    That was a move the organization needed to make. Further proof that GM Jerry is playing second fiddle to Stephen, especially given the relationship between he and Dez. He's going to have a massive chip on his shoulder next season. I've seen someone post on Twitter that on his way out of the...

    USMNT: Watching From Outside The Arena

    I found Arena's statements that the defeats to Costa Rica and Mexico to be a "fiasco for US Soccer" to be the height of irony. If losing to CONCACAF heavyweights is a catastrophe, how do you characterize losing to Trinidad & Fucking Tabago? Maybe he has a few chapters set aside for himself and...

    Alphabet Soup: the NASL/USL/CPL/NISA/PDL/NPSL/UPSL/NCAA Soccer Thread

    Excited for my town to get a team. Soccer has always been big here but the last pro team, the Patriots folded several years ago after a short partnership with Chivas. The ownership group is made up of the two wealthiest families in El Paso, Paul Foster and his wife Alejandra De La Vega (who...
