Re: Houston Chronicle - Round 1 - Dynamo vs FC Pachuca The NCAA tournament is a huge deal. Getting a headline that starts on the top of the...
Betting it's less than 5%? You'd be right. NBA players generally lie about their height by 2-3 inches, so a player that claims 6'8" is probably...
If it's a serious question, here's a serious answer: Soccer players at high levels of the sport tend to have less fat, whether they are males...
The biggest cities could easily support multiple teams, especially if the various teams appeal to different areas or demographics. MSA numbers...
Preferring to base my answer on actual statistics, the answer is pretty clear: Real Salt Lake. One of my friends has moved to Florida, so his...
Did you even read the post in which I mentioned that the Clippers became a revenue-generating machine, even while the team sucked, by doing that...
This is easy to argue one side or the other on. What is clear, though, is that MLS has a greater degree of parity; that the bottom teams of the...
The Los Angeles Clippers became the most profitable NBA team on a per dollar spent basis by doing just this during the eighties and nineties. If...
For MLS's greater parity being a myth, though, it sure does resemble reality. The best team in MLS last season got 55 points over 32 games, the...
Eh, Europe isn't that mistreated. I don't like the rotation of the WC, but that's looking like it will end. The World Cup is such a big event...
My impression of MFL v. MLS is that in general, there is more parity in MLS--the bottom of the league is better than the bottom of the MFL, but...
I came across some pertainent information about the subject, though without specific numbers. It is apparent that what many have surmised is...

There's a new problem though. I can't wrap my brain around the idea of my team as a contender for anything but the first draft pick. This...
Of course. He's the best field player we've got on the Nats, but we failed, so obviously, we should try things out with players who aren't quite...
Two of our defensive guys go out halfway through the game. Il Bruce decides on a brilliant tactic: put out the 23rd guy selected for the team!...
It wasn't exceptionally hard to understand why people had C as the Group of Death before the Cup, but I disagreed, thinking that Argentina and...
The changes I really like: Chicago 2, Colorado 1, DC 2, NY 2. There have been many conversations about how good a powder blue jersey would...
The problem with saying that the main problem is that the team just needs to win more games is that actually winning means that other teams are...
Big congratulations. I know many of you have worked hard to support the team. None of us will ever know exactly how important fan efforts were...
I just want to let everyone know how strongly I disagree with this sort of statement; it belies ignorance and arrogance....
