I clicked on this expecting an allegorical take on UCLA’s current season.

My man, I’ve spent the past two weeks theorycrafting increasingly more baroque character builds for a videogame, just to see how stupid I can make something and have it still be viable. Read more

I think it’s more someone being used to having a lake house, a ski house, and a beach house, each optimized for that particular location, then being shown a tricked out shipping container that, yes, *can* work in each environment, but is not really great at any particular one. Read more

He’s a kicker, not a punter. Read more

That has to be one of the unhealthiest days of calorie consumption I’ve ever seen, and I just read the other article. Read more

Sadly, the Browns had already trademarked “There’s always next year”

It’s tricky, and it’s not guaranteed, but if you hit it in almost the exact center of the ball with the end of your foot (not quite the toe, but not up near where the laces knot, if that makes sense), with your foot pointed almost straight down at the ground, you can usually get it to knuckle.

The point on vision is incredibly important, as losing track of the ball for even a second can mean the difference between a save and a goal, and there are usually a lot of bodies between you and the striker. Read more

A ball like that is an absolute bear to stop, because it darts back and forth in the air exactly like a knuckleball (and occasionally drops a foot and a half in a tenth of a second). You just put your hands where you hope it’s gonna be and pray. Read more

Goalies are the punters of the soccer world. Underappreciated, misunderstood, and able to kick the ball over those darn mountains.

I think it has something to do with the team accounting practices and that part of the contract being fairly standardized, since all three teams I played with did it that way. It’s also not a required thing - you can absolutely write it into your contract that you want the checks to be paid over the entire year if you… Read more

Kind of. Most contracts are set up to be paid biweekly (so every two weeks) during the season (17 weeks since the bye week is included), but the contract itself is pro-rated per game (so if you only play four games, you’ll only get 25% of your contract). Read more

No. It’s a bloodsport, even if the blood sometimes takes decades to manifest. However, I understand why people like it, and societal change will be slow. Read more

You’re still accumulating the damage though from those extra games, and one week isn’t enough time to heal properly. Most guys, by the time the halfway point of the season rolls around, should, from a strict medical standpoint, be recovering for anywhere from 2-8 weeks due to the stresses your body has taken (strained… Read more
