Man City has been working on this level of dominance for now three years running and it’s a result of hiring the best manager in the world and splashing cash to build a super-squad which, by the way, is still mighty short of CBs that could be considered world-class at the moment. Liverpool took longer but they have Read more

Here’s the big difference. In ten years, there will be different teams at the top of the Prem. Man U will come back. Chelsea will come back. Someone will be bought be a billionaire and make a run to the top. Read more

If this is a two-horse race, I’m assuming Man U will get euthanized on the track. Read more

Also: Trump doesn’t need ammo. As you said, he’ll invent whatever insults/misinformation he needs, no matter who the candidate is. Whoever is standing at the lectern across from him is going to get a bunch of shit thrown at ’em. Read more

You think that you’re the only galaxy brain who can see that Biden is doing The Great Sundowning right before our eyes? It’s not like if YOU don’t talk about it, people won’t notice.  Read more

Maybe, and stick with me here, sometimes candidates lose because of their flaws and not because of people impolitely pointing out their flaws. Read more

I like how Albert literally quotes an argument just like this from an actual commenter on another article and you refer to this as a “strawman argument.” Read more

again: this is not helpful advice for a primary when they are all running for the democratic nomination and the *entire purpose* of the primary is to vet and decide on the best one, however you define that. Read more

“What responsibility do you think that Americans need to take to repair the legacy of slavery in our country?” Read more

“Vice President, what are your feelings on reparations?”
“Triple money to schools! I was married to a dead teacher! Black parents need to be shown how to put a record player on at night so their kids hear more words.”
Centrist third way: That’s MY President.  Read more

Just want to point out that in this modern world that’s driven by rapidly accelerating technology... that whenever Joe Biden responds to a problem with “Well my dad used to say, Joey...” — he’s about to say an idea that is literally over a century old. Read more

Once again, Burneko is showing he’s just another leftist who is against any mentally unfit politician who had a disgusting political and social record well before his mental instability became evident. Read more

This was a softball that any competent candidate would have knocked out of the park and yet Biden demonstrated just how incapable he is of even remembering to say the right things when it matters. Whether it’s on healthcare or climate change, Biden at best sounds like he is exhausted and at worst like diet Trump. Read more

While I respect Biden’s career-long strategy of affably standing near more accomplished people (it’s my only skill as well and works great!), you have to recognize that it does not prepare you to lead. The softening of his brain seems to have made him forget the point of it all. Read more

Ideally we can get rid of the major league games too. Just analyze the swings of each team’s hitters, the spin rate of each team’s pitchers, and declare a champion. Read more

The closest minor league park (single A Lakewood) to me offers $5 general admission tickets. Children five and under do not require tickets. On Sundays and Mondays, kids eat for free. Parking is $5. So when I take my kids, 5 and 7, to a game, I pay $10 for 2 tickets and $5 for parking. Once we get inside the Read more

Two thoughts competing in my head: Read more

Old guys have been saying analytics will kill baseball, and I think even they would agree they were talking metaphorically. This dude is literally advocating for less baseball games because analytics don’t even need games to get the numbers. So I guess all the old guys yelling at clouds were kinda right?  This asshole Read more
