re: Soccer Rules Question

Right, the term “passive offside” was frequently used to describe that situation.

I am not sure if that is still used or if it was ever as commonly used in the US as in other countries.
I’m curious where they are projected now. Some of them shouldn’t even be drafted at this point.
I think the academic side is more that many of the players will be getting ready to enroll in college for the spring semester as early enrollees.

I understand that, so the decision to reschedule the game to mid-December is even dumber.

The only question for me is McKennie, but he’s clearly part of our plans.

Just not sure why he wasn’t called in. Weah, Richards, Pulisic, and Jedi are all injured (though the only one who would miss a World Cup game is Jedi imo), and Tillman just came back this week. Unlike those guys, McKennie should be fully healthy.
I don’t know why these guys use interpreters for as long as they do because they clearly don’t need to. Ichiro is a great example of this. He clearly didn’t need an interpreter but used one for years.

I wonder if it’s just a way to keep a friend around, if they’re bored and don’t have a strong network.

And before anyone says they use the interpreters to make sure nothing is said out of context, the US sports media of 2025 (or even 2000) is going to give the benefit of the doubt to anyone who is speaking English as their second (or third) language.
Great post!

Let’s move the campus to Lake Charles, too
How can you ask this? This is no different than an armed robbery in a home with many young children?!?

Anyways, if you type the two teams in the search box, you can scroll to the right and filter only live broadcasts.

This should filter out most of the feeds of people playing video games or videos of older games.
I spoke too soon. Just had my first feed that was terminated.
YouTube must be passive about moderating this.

UNC-Syracuse was uninterrupted on my end last night, and I’m having no issues this morning with the YT streams.
You probably didn’t miss out. Of the 30-40 people I know who entered the draw, 3 got chosen for the opportunity to buy tickets in the first batch.

And I’m including friends of friends and people I only know online.

Not a single co-worker or friend got it.

I entered the draw for batch 1 and wasn’t picked. I did the entry for batch 2 yesterday.

This time, it only asked for my Visa card. It didn’t ask for my city or national team preferences.
I looked it up. It’s the brother of Jumpy and the father of Robert Jr who played for the Bengals
I was going to say he looks like he could be better than Banchero was as a freshman. Higher motor and just as comfortable with the ball in his hands.

The only downside is he could be an inefficient player on offense like RJ Barrett, but this team doesn’t have Zion or Tre Jones-type players who are better options.
That felt like a Sweet 16 game, both sides looked tough and good. I would have said Final 4 until the last 7 minutes, when both teams got notably worse.

But that makes sense considering it isn’t even November, and the teams ran out of gas.

Very impressed with Boozer, who is very strong, athletic, and versatile.

Ngongba is making exactly the adjustments I expected, and Evans has added more elements to his game and is no longer just a 3 point specialist.

Impressive win considering the game was in Knoxville and Maliq Brown is still not cleared from his offseason surgery.
In the past few months, there were stories about Nate Robinson, Nick Mangold, and Scot Pollard all having defects and needing urgent medical treatment.

Nate Robinson needed a kidney transplant because of genetic kidney disease. He was on dialysis for a while and got a kidney transplant. His seemed the least complicated because he is essentially a normal sized human.

His father was a former running back at Washington who also went on dialysis and ultimately got a transplant a few years prior.

And then Scot Pollard had a congenital heart defect and there was a detailed article about his heart transplant process on ESPN. His father died of a heart attack at 53 while on a wait list for a donor.

I believe Scot became the tallest human in the history of the world to get a heart transplant.

Those were both complicated but happy stories. Unfortunately we can’t say the same for Nick Mangold.

May he rest in peace.
Kenyans have had a really high number of failed drug tests in the last few years, after getting called out by the IAAF for their lack of testing infrastructure.

Unsurprisingly, their men are doing much worse at most events.

Emmanuel Wanyoni, who was essentially a child prodigy, is one of the only men who can keep up.
I was very confused because the college freshman who is setting records is also an American named Jane and obviously fits none of the other criteria besides being very good at track.

In D-1?

It’s definitely not 7

5 of the top 6 aren’t alumni

Do you guys think Will is dumb enough to not realize that Olivia’s performance is down because of her pregnancy, even now :lol:?

How the hell did Go Big or Go Home make the top 10?

Kailah was fun and slutty, Dionne was pretty damn entertaining, Ceejai and her fights with Jenna were entertaining, but otherwise, that was a completely forgettable season. Wouldn’t even make the top 20 for me.

Brooklyn was a terrible season.

I’m surprised Austin and Vegas 2011 are so low.

Hollywood and New Orleans 2010 have essentially no Challenge legacy but were both good seasons.

And I’m surprised Cancun was so low on the list. Agreed that St Thomas and Denver were awful.
