Sure the team is weaker without Pat, but if we’re going to talk about evidence, what evidence suggests Pat is the difference between a good defense and elite defense? Writing off our potential to be a top-10 defense makes assumptions about Pat’s playing time that were far from certain. It’s...

To be over? Yes!

Got mine this morning. Is it November yet?!

US Soccer’s Board of Directors is expected to formally approve Pochetinno today. The transition can’t happen soon enough. Our 2024 performances are evidence that our problem is cultural, not just tactical. Following Saturday’s debacle, Tim Ream said “you can’t coach intensity.” It’s...

Our first half performance was pathetic. We are slow and passive. Canada is forcing the issue all over the pitch, giving us no space to operate. It looks like they are playing with an extra man.

It would be great to see Cameron and Cayden in a Duke uniform for a bunch of reasons. Among them is having Carlos around every home game. He’s a fun guy.

Yep. I, and several other DBR folk, had a pie bet with a well-known poster over the outcome of the 2020 election. He lost, refused to pay, and was shown the exit by the mods. Maybe the same person. Maybe not.

Few things irritate me more than organizations that start with a valuable mission and then allow that mission to be compromised by thoughtless and inflexible rule enforcement. The rules are meant to serve the mission, not the other way around.

Anthony Edwards on the ball defense 🔥

The latest name to emerge in the USMNT's search for a new coach is Pellegrino Matarazzo. I don't know much about him, but the linked article says he was born in New Jersey, played college soccer in the US, has experience in the Bundesliga as a player and coach, is the current manager of...

Thanks for clarifying. 100% agree that nude beach and rodeo are not comparable in scope. I was just trying to come up with an example that illustrated that there should be a line even though folks will disagree about where the line is drawn. I think we're in agreement.

I walked into that one.

I think there's an argument to be made that the opening ceremony wasn't offensive or mocking, at least intentionally. The French also apologized which is good. But your position that the Olympics have no responsibility to even consider their audience is indefensible, IMO. The French are hosts...

Tyler Adams had back surgery and is not expected to be fit at the start of the EPL season. It’s been a rough 18 months for him.

No, I don’t have any examples of candidates accusing people of irrationally voting against their self interest. I’d be surprised if they were any. The sentence you isolated is referring to a narrative that has taken holding some parts of the Democrat party and are usually expressed in election...

There are reports that US Soccer has entered into negotiations with Patrick Vieira to become the next USMNT head coach.

I think Sherrod Brown and John Fetterman are evidence that Democrats can do a lot better with white working class voters without remaking the party platform but you might be correct about the path forward. There are a few policy changes I believe would help but I won’t list them here. Improved...

This sort of thinking is preventing Democrats from handily defeating Trump. Somewhere between 7 and 9 million Obama voters became Trump voters. Writing them off is a mistake, particularly when many of these voters are working-class people who used to be the backbone of the Democrat Party...

There’s a form of tribalism at work but when many Democrats and non-Trump Republicans use that term about MAGA, I hear coded language that does more harm than good. Like shorthand for people grouped together by a lack of education, white identity politics, and a set of irrational grievances...

Maybe you’re misinterpreting the what the likes mean.
