Among the almost infinite number of reasons why salary caps are awful is what we are witnessing right now with Jason Robertson's VERY public negotiations with the Stars. In a salary cap world, salaries have to be public so fans can understand why a team might make the moves it makes. Ideally, no one should know what anyone makes and we watch the game. Now every player is judged based on his salary.
Question for the soccer experts: I understand that Messi is considered the greatest ever and having watched a few of his games he certainly looks different, but what about his game makes him the best and better than say Pele or Ronaldo?
I don’t know much about soccer, but every time I’ve watched Messi play (3 games that I can think of), anyone could clearly see he is just different than anyone else on the field (pitch).
I don’t watch enough soccer to understand the Alexi Lalas hate. I just know he was the first American soccer player I ever knew and is one of 3 or 4 that I can name today. I actually like him. What’s the reason for the hate? Is MeToo stuff? MAGA stuff?
James Talarico: “Real men don’t lie and cheat their way through life. They don’t enrich themselves by stealing from other people. They don’t sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves”
I believe the reason people don’t like Wyndham Clark is because he seems to *think* he is someone that he has repeatedly *shown* us he is not.

Annual reminder that either the US Open or PGA Championship should be played somewhere outside of EST every year. Having all 4 majors with early tee times sucks. Thankfully, next year the US Open will be PST (the best time zone) and the PGA will be CST.
The only thing missing from this World Cup is the magic spray that people used to rush out when players fell. Where’d that go? Did people suddenly doubt its healing powers?
