  1. Three races in and we've had three entertaining races.

    What's disturbing is the truck series tower STILL has a problem of when to throw cautions!

     

    And then Cup tower not throwing one quickly for Erik Jones, and the pace car driver almost getting wiped out by Bubba, the pc driver's fault for leaving too early

    I agree about the 4-3-3 needing to be our base, but I think we’re at our best playing a 4-2-3-1 especially now since we finally found our 9. 
     

    This lets Adam’s and McKinnie play the 6 and 8, which is what they’re best at, keep Pulisic and Aaronson as the wingers, play Reyna as the 10 and Pepi at the 9.  Then your back line would be Antonee, Myles, Brooks and Dest. 
     

    This would be a lethal lineup once they get comfortable together. 

     

    I'd still go with two up front: Pepi and Aaronson work best as a duo.  Young, energetic, can pass, can work with backs to the goal, and still young.

    Paramount+ carries it. I’ve had it since last year for Champions League.

     

    But finally, the USMNT won and won emphatically. After one of the worst halves of football I’ve seen since that debacle in Trinidad, they responded beautifully.
     

    Pepi is our new #9. Without a shadow of a doubt. What a debut for him. And Antonee Robinson was sensational. He’s our starting LB going forward. 
     

    Going forward, the US needs to stop playing in these cute formations, and come out like they did in the 2nd. 

    US is best when it's in a 4-3-3, modified to a 4-3-1-2 during run of play.

    I'm very gratified at so many terrific responses.

     

    I would add I miss Jim McKay and ABC having the Olympics.

     

    And I also miss that both Summer & Winter games would be held in a leap year.  Now they stagger them.

     

    I miss when the Olympics were about (or supposedly about) amateur athletes.  The whole Dream Team thing really shattered it for me, although from what I understand other countries had their professionals compete in the Olympics, so that really sullied the Olympic games for me altogether.

     

    The US voted AGAINST having professionals in Olympic basketball competition.

    Olympic men's soccer is 23-under, with a couple of over aged players.  Basketball should do this.

  5. The city council and mayor of Schenectady NY coming to an impasse over the construction of a multipurpose arena, one that would have housed the Tri-City Comets of the American Basketball Association, circa 1974.  The facility would have more than likely housed World Hockey Association and later American Hockey League teams, Major Indoor Soccer League, and indoor lacrosse teams as well.

     

    In 1977,  "upset" residents of Schenectady at a meeting with proposed Eastern League team owners and city officials voicing their concerns that a baseball stadium would bring a teenage drinking element to the park and too close to their quiet neighborhood.  Despite the over 30 teenagers and myself, speaking for my father at 13, telling these people that NOT having the park why there were gatherings of teenagers, the city officials delayed construction of the park.  The owners moved their White Sox affiliate an hour north to Glens Falls.

    I will say that I find the whole trend bizarre.  Imagine the New Orleans Hurricanes, the Las Vegas Snipers, the Florida Sinkholes.  All of those are awful; yet none of them is any worse than the Chicago Fire (if you remove the FD reference) or the San Jose Earthquakes.

     

    There was a New Orleans Hurricanes basketball team.  Professional Basketball League of America 1947

     

    Houston Hurricane played in the old North American Soccer League 1978-1980
