  1. Until the 7-1 Maracanazo II Germany put up against Brazil last year, I'd never seen a home, World Cup crowd so stunned and saddened by a World Cup game outcome as on that day when Italy opened up the floodgates near stoppage time in that 2nd extratime in that 2006 semifinal.
  2. None of the soccer-specific stadia in this country are large enough to host World Cup matches.Maybe for practices and scrimmages can America's SSS be used for the a World Cup. For example, for all the lore the Home Depot StubHub Center has, the more likely World Cup stadium in Southern California would be Pasadena's Rose Bowl or the new, LA-area NFL mega-stadia which will exist by the next decade.* *we all know this is a lie
  3. How's about this; the NHL announces two expansion teams because it wants so damn badly to have those stupid Coyotes stay in Desertland, and is hellbent on never being proven wrong on the obvious.
  4. FIFA is many things. Anti-American is not one of them. FIFA was openly praising the US ratings for the last World Cup.Rumor also has it that such ratings praise could lead to FIFA awarding the United States the 2026 World Cup*, in celebration of America's 250th birthday. *on the contingency that the USSF pays a handsome amount to FIFA officials and supplies their own slave workers from Latin America to build stadiums funded 100% by taxpayers to be used only for one summer month, of course
  5. These are the kinds of banners you'd see for franchises who've won a championship, maybe two, tops. But hey; management has to find someway, anyway, to bring Devils fans to Newark this season.
  6. Translation: "I don't want to be known as the governor who let the Rams leave Los Angeles have an NFL team again." Fixed it.
  7. "Today we salute you, Mr. Triple-Lockout Overseeing Moron." "Mr. Triple-Lockout Overseeing Moron!!!"
  8. It's kind of pointless to hold a pro-Raiders rally at Staples Center when the Kings are playing, since they don't get the amount of love and attention the Lakers and Clippers get from the SoCal sports media.
  9. A full 28% of their games have ended in overtime or shootout losses. They have the same number of wins as Buffalo.
  10. Wasnt Carson rumored for the Chargers years ago?The only NFL connection Carson had before was being the Chargers' pre-season training grounds during the 1st 2-3 years of the area's development.
  11. Is it fair game for the Sabres to make fun of South Beach when a Katrina-like storm wipes out the greater-Miami area because of climate change?
  12. Not before San Pedro Sula, Honduras submits its own expansion bid!
  13. So by this logic, the key to any NFL team relocating is a race riot occurring in the home market the year before the move? Funny; there weren't any race riots in Cleveland around 1993-1994. Not that I heard of...
  14. It wouldn't be. The Rams would be returning home. Or at least a place they called home for nearly 50 years.I'm not worried from a historical standpoint, I'm just unsure of how St. Louis fans would react to losing their team. Maybe we should just put the Cardinals back in St. Louis, and have the Rams move to L.A.Given that the Rams are currently 2nd or 3rd-fiddle in St. Louis sports, behind the MLB Cardinals and Blues, I wouldn't anticipate the same levels of vitriol as Clevelanders experienced in 1995 during their ugly relocation saga of the original Browns. I'm also not sure they have enough in-play history in Missouri to "tarnish the team legacy" should the Rams relocate, given how their only notable era is the "Greatest Show on Turf," and that only lasted for 5-6 years (power team under Kurt Warner and decent team under Marc Bulger).
  15. I'll give them a pass since it was a Tuesday. If this were a Saturday game, Buffalo fans would make homemade snow plows out of their Chevy trucks and house roofs to get to the Sabres game. Florida fans, meanwhile, wouldn't sell out their place on their own if it was the Stanley Cup Final on a Saturday and it was 85°F.
  16. They called that 10,010 people. I call that bull The Panthers are releasing their attendance figures in binary now. If that's binary, then only 18 people showed up to the game. The rest are either cardboard Fatheads of the same fans or robots posing as human beings.
  17. This sounds like the 2015 sports universe portrayed in "Back to the Future II," only that it actually does come true.
  18. This just takes the meanings of 'high-sticking,' 'crosschecking,' 'roughing' and 'boarding' to a whole, other dimension...
  19. So about Florida's "Hispanic Heritage Night," here's the game-winning call in Spanish: http://deadspin.com/even-hockey-highlights-are-better-when-called-by-spanis-1653530376
  20. The real unpopular opinion would be for someone to approve of these Phoenix monstrosities:
