Big whoop.  No one worth a tinker’s cuss will be playing a week after the WC Final.  The ineptitude of local government after and during the riots and HB2 to allow Nashville to have a game instead of CLT last year and use that as a springboard to MLS over CLT goes beyond words.

Top flight English football is a pale shadow of what it was. German football is much worthier of respect.

Regardless, you have to be pretty footie starved to give up your time to watch a preseason friendly nowadays.

EPL is the most competitive league because it’s the most rich league so even average EPL teams can buy above average players.  Dortmund top players from the times Dortmund was relevant now play in England.  Both Aubameyang and Mkitaryan play for Arsenal.

Yeah I assumed that was the criteria you were using to come to that conclusion. In your defense many people would agree. It’s just sad for me because I followed English football before the premier League. In those days the league was competitive because you couldn’t buy success. Clearly that’s changed and the national team is absolutely pathetic these days because of it. I’m glad that people still enjoy the product but it’s not for me anymore.

Before Real Madrid and Barcelona bought all super stars.  Not the case anymore.  Now players pick EPL over LaLiga.

I think we’re having two parallel conversations here.

But by the way you’re wrong. Messi and Ronaldo are clearly the 2 best players in the world and have been for sometime. La Liga.

 If you know anything about England you will know that South American players rarely excel there and frequently can’t deal with the weather.

But I’m glad you think so highly of it.

      The running back situation....

      I see them using Brooks in the passing game a good bit even early.

      The running back situation....

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      If Brooks is fully healed,and they think he is, then we should be better.  We upgraded center and Hunt will be back.   At RB, Rico will turn 28 next month. Hubbard turns 27 next month.  Brooks turns 23 in July.  If Brooks pans out, he was a better college RB than either Rico or Chuba. He has not been taking a beating for 2 years--so if the knee holds, we could have something.   This is what it says about RB: Career Average: Running backs have the shortest average careers in the NFL, lasting just 2.57 years on average. The Peak: Most running backs reach their absolute peak performance around age 25 or 26, with nearly all peak seasons occurring before age 29. The "Age 28-29" Cliff: Statistical data shows a notable 15% to 25% drop in per-game fantasy and offensive production as backs transition from their age-28 to age-29 seasons. Very few running backs sustain elite production past age 30.

      I’ll give him that. I love his belief in the trenches being where games are decided. Because that is also my belief.  And he is not fooling around he jumps all over a goal. Fix the OL. Well it cost but he fixed it.  And fixed it again this year while still getting pieces for the defense.  He has made a couple of mistakes but just keeps swinging after a miss until he gets something done.
