2019 US Open tennis
I really enjoy tennis, but am not a die hard fan and prescribe to the "sports should be fun" lifestyle so I love Kyrgios because he's such an ass clown. His talent is undeniable. His path to the semis is Hoang, Rublev/Simon, Berrettini, and then Monfils is the best seed in the bottom portion of that quadrant. Not sure a bracket is ever going to set up better for him to make a grand slam semifinal. He'll fuck it up some how.

Not gonna lie, it's always been a life dream of mine to buy an English football team, run it into the ground and have people shout "(ATLLonghorn) Out!" at me.

USMNT 2019
I'm extremely happy for Miles Robinson. He spent two years in Atlanta working and getting little playing time or spending time in the USL before de Boer put a lot of faith in him and he's delivered this year. Atlanta United took a while to round into form this year, but Robinson has been the most consistent player on the team this year. He's been arguably the best CB in MLS and has earned a look with the National Team. I can't help but wonder if they brought some of the U23 players to get them some time together before Olympic qualifying in the spring. U23 players on the roster: Cannon, Dest, Robinson, McKennie, Pomykal, Yueill, CP and Sargent. CP won't play in Olympic qualifying. Schalke has been hesitant to release McKennie to youth tournaments.

2019 US Open tennis
Finally after ten years living in New England I took the trek down to Flushing. I had a blast today. Had a GA pass which gets you into everywhere but Ashe (upper deck only at Armstrong and Grandstand). Mostly dabbled in a bunch of matches. Started at Tsitsipas-Rublev then went to watch the end of Berrettini's match. Caught the fifth set of the Bautista Agut upset. Tried to watch Andreescu but the court was packed so we parked it at the court next to it to watch a random women's match for a couple of games. We caught the end of Isner before going back to Armstrong to watch the last set of Halep's match. My buddy really wanted to watch Coco so we watched that whole match. After that it was the end of Shapovalov-FAA and a couple of random side court matches before heading back to Armstrong for Sabalenka-Azarenka before finally getting to see Kyrgios. We only made it for a set of Kyrgios because we had to catch the train back home. Armstrong went four hour men's match and then three three-set women's matches so Kyrgios went on long. TL;DR went to the Open, had fun Here are some pics Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

I'm kinda pissed they changed the playoff format so we can't get a home and home between these two teams with some stakes attached.

I'm still saying 10 out of 10. 11 out of 10 would be blowing a lead and losing at home.- EPL 2019-20
Creeping towards a 10 out of 10 on the "that's so Spursy" scale, but there's still time...- EPL 2019-20
Newcastle has to use a sub 17 minutes into a game on a 90 degree day on the road against a team significantly better than them what's the worst that can happen?- Which EPL team do you root for?
I LOVE soccer and I've never been able to stick with a Premier League team for some reason. The first team I ever tried to follow was Newcastle because they signed Patrick Kluivert who was my favorite player in the old FIFA video games but the EPL was hard to access in those days. I then flirted with Liverpool for a while because the 2005 Champions League Final was the first one I ever saw. I rooted for Everton for a little bit (yes I know that's counter intuitive having rooted briefly for Liverpool) but I got to know Roberto Martinez a little bit and despite his flaws as a coach he is one of the nicest human beings I've ever met. Now I'm just rooting for players. I have no affinity for Chelsea, but the USMNT is how I got into soccer so I want to see Pulisic do well. I've tried to get interested in Newcastle again because Miguel Almiron was so instrumental in Atlanta United winning MLS Cup but they're miserable to watch. Of the big six I tend to lean towards Liverpool to actually root for because Dortmund was the first European team I ever rooted for and stuck with and Klopp was the coach there when I first started following them, but I have no emotional investment in them.- EPL 2019-20
Pukki is the greatest goal scorer in Prem history. It's crazy.- 2019 Atlanta Braves Thread
In his last 10 starts against the Braves Jacob deGrom has a 1.74 era and nearly 9 strike outs per game. The Braves are 8-2 in those game. What this team is doing defies all logic. They're getting contributions from scrap heap players like Hechavarria, Ortega and Hamilton which won't be sustainable in October. Dansby and Riley just started rehab assignments which is a major positive. The bullpen has been excellent for six games in a row now. Melancon, Greene and Martin are settling in. Jackson is pitching better without the pressure of being a closer. It's certainly a cautious optimism, but hopefully it's a group that's improving.- MLS 2019 Thread
MLS needs to stop pretending Atlanta-Orlando is a rivalry. It isn't. Orlando isn't in their class. Despite being each team's closest geographical rival (until Miami and Nashville come along) it's so forced. Atlanta's biggest rival is the Red Bulls. The Red Bulls also have two other rivals so they'll never play during rivalry week, but Atlanta and Orlando have played exactly one game with any kind of stakes and it was a US Open Cup semifinal.- MLS 2019 Thread
The Atlanta-Portland first half was really fun if you prefer your soccer played at a cocaine-binge level intensity. It was end to end, extremely chippy and, in typical MLS fashion, poorly officiated.- 2019 Atlanta Braves Thread
Braves rally to take 2 out of 3 without Swanson, Markakis, Inciarte and Riley and with Freddie not getting a hit. Yeah, they missed Kershaw and Buehler, but that was a hell of a rebound. And I'm not getting into the whole Acuna-Snitker thing.- Cedric Benson has passed away - RIP 🤘
My memory for things as gotten hazy, but when I think of Ced I seem to remember him putting the team on his back and grinding out yards in a win in Fayetteville in 2003. 29 carries, 188 yards and two touchdowns. Dude wasn't flashy. He was a work horse who got the damn job done. All-time great Longhorn. RIP, Ced.- 2019 Atlanta Braves Thread
The Braves, with half a triple A lineup, beat the probable NL Cy Young Award winner. They got good innings from Greene and Melancon. Best win of the season.- MLS 2019 Thread
and nearly brawled at the end too. Great scene.- USMNT 2019
- Segino Dest got his first start for Ajax today. - Zack Steffen had 9 saves in a 3-1 win in his Bundesliga debut for Fortuna Dusseldorf at Weder Bremen. - US U20 player Uly Llanez is off to a great start with Bremen's U19 team. He has 4 goals and an assist in two games.- Amazing Soccer Goals, Saves and Blunders
This might be my favorite penalty run up ever- EPL 2019-20
I was wrong. Teemu Pukki is going to be the best goal scorer in EPL history apparently.- USMNT 2019
Yes. He was on the preliminary 40 man roster for the Gold Cup but wasn't selected for the final roster.- 2019 Atlanta Braves Thread
Since July 23rd the Braves have won series against the Nationals, Phillies, Mets and Twins, split with the Reds and Marlins and got swept by the Royals. They're the dumbest team to ever be 22 games over .500. - EPL 2019-20
