Meh, that’s nothing compared to NY after the Knicks win.


NY was one bus burning and that was it… otherwise it was 5 million happy people

I mean it's essentially the same schools that have always been good/had money


Remember when we were told NIL was gonna help underdogs rise up?
quote:

In his only season as an everyday player, Caballero batted .245 in 380 plate appearances at age 20


The analytics geeks would never give up on him today
Was this a rivalry and I didn’t know about it?

I know the SWAC loves being who they are but to be taken seriously nationwide they have to compete with “white” universities… not like Grambling vs Ohio State, but every now and then they have to beat Southland type of teams.

There has to be some behemoths in other countries that are working regular jobs because they were too large for soccer.
probably not many... they don't eat like we do here

What made it such a must watch? The Tonya Harding thing couldnt be the sole reason so many watched and record stood for 30 years.


When you see big numbers like that, it’s usually women who made them that big… those were events that got into popular culture and transcended sports
quote:

His performances this World Cup can actually be considered a revelation. In the Mexico match, he was everywhere, even tracking back in defense. When he scored the equalizer against Norway, he ran back to the center circle without a huge "look at me" celebration. Dude seems fully committed.


Well yeah it’s the World Cup, you only get so many chances. They’ve lost two Euro finals in a row
quote:

bet an NFL receiver or DB covers several miles every game too.
how, they only play half the game
quote:

Marcus Spears should where Texas on tv from here on out because it takes away all the good he did at LSU


I mean he probably will… he played at LSU a lifetime ago :lol:
quote:

Texas does Welcome signs better than La.


Texas does the Friday Night Lights better than anyone
quote:

even got to plant a kiss on it like a lot of the players do after they win.


You have no right to talk about respect for the Cup… how many NHL goals did you score?
quote:

Disagree, NHL = sustainability, and increasingly larger market share thanks to the Winter Olympics. NBA = David Stern AAA bullshite, small, weak markets, and Adam Silver, who is far and away sports worst commissioner currently.


NBA Finals peak- 33 million viewers

Stanley Cup Finals peak- 7.2 million viewers

England-Mexico peak- 46.7 million viewers

USA-Belgium peak- 50.1 million viewers

What’s really hilarious about this news is how butthurt the USL contingent is that their alumnus governor is not doing the same for them at the mansion.


People just don’t care about minor league college football like that

quote:

Outside of NIL, the real issue is having to pay multiple year buyouts to the head coaches of the only two profitable sports


Buyouts are cheaper than bad football
quote:

Also what if his kid was terrible should LSU have to extend a scholarship to him because of his dad


That’s what they did for Maravich :lol:
quote:

but the owner puts them on there basically like a spoiled child asking just because they can.


It’s almost like he paid billions for a franchise so he can do this kind of stuff. What player was left off?
quote:

When did they win so many?


2020, 2024, 2025
quote:

honestly don’t know how NBA fans exist with today’s game. It’s a bunch of iso basketball with flopping as bad as soccer.


We don’t even think about hockey and that drives yall nuts :lol:
quote:

Were you under the impression that the men weren't stars and getting paid as stars in their respective leagues?


Those guys are barely making Jose Alvarado money

Pulisic makes 3% of what CR7 makes
quote:

Most of the men have contracts so big with their clubs -- not including endorsements -- they could wipe their arse with their portion of the 12M payout after coaches, staff, etc get theirs.


The men would have to be elite to get those contracts and they’re clearly not

quote:

That shows how little value the women's soccer team has. I had no idea about how well they had done over the years. And now that I do know about how well the women's team has done, I don't care in the least about it.



‘99 Women’s World Cup (Brandi Chastain) was a bigger deal than anything the men have ever done
quote:

It helped sports fans get through summer a little bit easier and only a few weeks until NFL preseason starts.


8 teams left, time to put a bet on who you think wins…

Notice how the World Cup is doing numbers now that we have legal phone app betting :lol:
