re: Wow ESPN scraping the freaking bottom of the barrel.
Posted by The411 on 8/9/19 at 12:52 am
I have no love for ESPN but he’s actually quite good as an analyst.
He made a mess of his life and cleaned it up.
You going to hold other players to this standard if so there are a lot analysts that wouldn’t have jobs based on your holier than thou standards....

re: Tour De France 2019: Egan Bernal Wins the TDF
Posted by The411 on 7/11/19 at 4:52 pm
You are correct. French TV was a little too concerned with Bardet and not Teuns pulling away.
Teuns was 949-1 to win the Tour wish I had put down 20 bucks. Don’t think he’s going to win it but he’s a good TT’er and can certainly climb. ...

Depends on the race you are watching.
The easiest to watch and understand are mountain stages and essentially you are looking to see who is breathing the hardest and who cannot keep up with attacks.
Sprint stages are more about seeing who has position and who gets boxed in as position is king...
re: The real problem with the USMNT
Posted by The411 on 7/10/19 at 3:16 pm
Athleticism matters but it’s secondary. The closest analogy is a baseball player. Michael Jordan amazing athlete shite baseball player.
Same thing happens in soccer.
It would be nice for US soccer to have first crack to develop athletes to filter out who can play and who can’t, but the techni...
re: Berhalter Is A Clown
Posted by The411 on 6/13/19 at 11:45 am
Yep, it’s these types of moves that scream complete mismanagement.
I think the bigger problem is that USSF position is an elected position.
What has been killing US Soccer is the parasitic relationship with SUM and MLS. Cordeiro is basically a puppet for those two organizations and let’s thei...
re: People that complained about Michael Bradley
Posted by The411 on 6/13/19 at 11:37 am
If he is that’s a bad sign because he’s far past his prime and I think people vastly overrate the apex of his career.
He’s like a destitute man’s Axel Wisel. ...
re: Landon Donovan, next USSF President?
Posted by The411 on 10/19/17 at 6:10 pm
Sunil is a freakin cancerous sock puppet. USSF president needs to be a paid position and they need a Bill Moos equivalent candidate. They also need to get rid of the election process and hire like any normal job.

No clue if he has the aptitude. I'm guessing probably not and it has nothing to do with his soccer experience....
re: people actually think not qualifying is gonna be that negative towards our future chances?
Posted by The411 on 10/17/17 at 10:35 pm
You can't employ the same systems as the big four leagues because the U.S. (Canada for hockey) doesn't monopolize the talent.
That's why a closed system will ultimately without organized lower divisions gathering 80-90% of the talent. It's not possible for the academies of 28 teams to gather more...
re: Sam Allardyce interested in taking United States job - sources (ESPN)

Oh sure ... we could hire the King, Alan Pardew or maybe David Moyes is tired of his success at Sunderland....
re: people actually think not qualifying is gonna be that negative towards our future chances?
Posted by The411 on 10/14/17 at 5:39 pm
The NCAA reform is a non starter. By the time a kid gets to college it's too late.
The biggest villains here are USSF for allowing a closed system. A closed system will never work in soccer. It works in the other big four sports because there are zero professional leagues that are competitive aro...
re: ***GUNNER KIEL (pronounced keel) (#1 QB recruit in nation) COMMITS TO LSU***
Posted by The411 on 1/4/12 at 6:11 pm
Kiel is massively overrated. Happens every year. There's always a few guys that the analysts get a massive hard for becuase they have great physical tools but don't have the it factor that separates the superstars. He was playing against piss poor competition in Indiana. The guy didn't even make the...

re: Tressel punishment was too light
Posted by The411 on 3/9/11 at 11:06 am
Remember Tressel's punishment is sel-imposed by OSU.
The other thing is that if all this is corroberated then Tressel comitted fraud and he and more likely Ohio St. could be held liable for tortuious action from the first school left out of the BCS.
The NCAA has to come down harder on OSU than...

re: Discussion Thread for McClover/Keys allegations and purported HBO story
Posted by The411 on 2/23/11 at 2:23 pm
No the NCAA rule on statute of limitations reads similarly to how legal statute of limitations laws read. If something is obscured the statute of limitations does not begin to toll until the obscured knowledge becoems public.
The reason is that schools self-report themselves. A school could elect...
re: NCAA not expected to pass legislation on the Newton loophole at

re: If you were an NFL team, and you needed a QB..
Posted by The411 on 12/19/10 at 2:35 am
You don't Cam Newton because he's played one year of CFB, doesn't do pre-snap reads, plays in the spread, has questionable footwork, and from what I've seen hasn't made NFL throws into tight spaces.
Newton has a lot of physical gifts becuase playing QB in the NFL requires accuracy and the ability...
re: Cecil Newtons unending church "funding" hunt from 2008-2010
Posted by The411 on 12/11/10 at 11:39 pm
I rather doubt that Newton turned over his tax records seeing as the NCAA has no authoritative legal power and tax records require either his (Cecil's) permission to release or a subpoena, a warrant, or judge's order to be made available....
re: Was there this much animosity last year?
Posted by The411 on 12/11/10 at 4:18 pm
No, but frankly Suh and Gerhart were much more deserving candidates and Ingram didn't even finish top 10 in any NCAA kept statistical category.
Gerhart had 130 yards and and 4 tds against his rival
Ingram had 30 yards and 0 tds ...
Suh's stats line was better than that of most team's [b]...
