soccer betting is massive. if you think there are betting scandals in america, i point you to asian betting houses placing millions of euros/yuan/yen/bhat on 3rd division filipino games. anyone who watched south korea in 2002 world cup will know first hand how money can buy referees. or juventus in italy being relegated to serie c for "irregularities" or barcelona putting former refs' consultancies on the payroll. fantasy soccer is also huge. its the biggest sport in the world.

you re-sign be chairot for toughness, you've spent the last 3 or 4 drafts talking about getting players who are hard to play against, tough, and able to work the corners, and then you give it all away to take the softest, least reliable, least playoff tested player you can find? why? WHY? to play devils advocate to myself, you think you'll never be able to sign a skilled player, ep40 will blossom surrounded by the comfort of swedish players in detroit (fact: vancouver has more swedes than detroit), you already have toughness and now you need skill.... i have a hard time talking myself into this.

i liked steve dangle's piece on "can someone pkease get berube a hat? please?"

the only scenario would be for bench scoring.

kcp may not be a hall of famer, but he is a solid nba player with a good career and certainly better than trey burke. dumars screwed up a ton, but at least he got that one right.

its a lot easier to score a run in a high level baseball game than it is to score a goal in a high level soccer game, therefore scoring a goal in soccer takes more skill than scoring a run in baseball and soccer players are more skilled than baseball players. #chaslogic

i remember analytics people going gaga for troy stecher. then he got traded for a 7th rounder.

The bulls just lost to the pacers for the THIRD TIME THIS SEASON.

i'm assuming that the guys who replace them wont be able to shoot well either.

giannis and cade together? sounds good, but how would it work with no other spacing?

we might actually achieve 84's dream of seeing william wallinder next season.

remind me again why we signed caris lavert?

too low for the spurs and rockets.

the years are long, but the number is good in an expanding cap for a guy like chiarot. the wings - and the league - value physical defenseman more than the analytics crowd does. chiarot on your third pair next year is not bad. in 3 years i suspect he'll be in grand rapids a lot. at least i hope so.

if you think that tells you everything i would question your curiosity. i also question just how much you actually know about soccer

he's such a prima donna bitch. you should watch the 80s and 90s basketball and how much they beat the living **** out of you every game.

lucky they were playing denver's g league affiliate.

well, i was mostly kidding. to each their own with sports. hockey is definitely more niche than baseball. basketball is becoming more popular than baseball nowadays. i could sit here and describe how soccer is the best sport to watch. none of you would believe me but the rest of the world would...

why wouldnt you just foul rather than let them try the three? why wasnt ausar in the game? had he fouled out?

palat and soucy to the isles. soucy had been talked about to detroit.

bad loss. hopefully missing edvinsson doesnt do them in for this tough stretch before the break.

they havent played well for a while and are still winning. schedule is about to get a lot tougher. but they needed to hold serve at home and they did. hopefully they can get their shooting stroke back soon for the gauntlet of msu, purdue, illinois, and duke.

i was comparing more to the wnba. world series does much better ratings than the stanley cup, any way you slice it. (even if hockey is a much more exciting sport than baseball by a wide margin...) 🙂

ok, need a big third period. losing at home to the kings would not be great.

plus about 4 million canadian viewers for stanley cup games.
