Me : Now that Messi has won the World Cup, I'll just enjoy myself this time around and watch these games comfortably.
Also me the last week:
Brazil go out of the world cup with an incredibly clean strike to the bottom corner from a Man City player again.
Watching this France team is like watching those old Eagles live performances and trying to figure out how all these people were in the same group.
Every De Bruyne touch and pass seems to be so out of place on this Belgian team which seems to have just no plan or quality in the opponent's half. I know they want to keep him closer to goal but the ball won't even reach the final third if they keep this up.
Empire of Liberty is still the best American history book I've read to date. Incredible historian and writer.
Tragic news today: the eminent historian Gordon S. Wood was struck and killed while walking in the Shaw's plaza in East Providence, his family confirms to me. No comment from Brown yet
Wood was just featured in Ken Burns' American Revolution documentary wpri.com/news/local-news/pro…
If Lebron shouldn't lose face for losing to better teams in the finals then he shouldn't get credit for beating bad teams in the East and if MJ shouldn't be diminished for losing to better teams in earlier rounds then he shouldn't get credit for beating worse teams in the finals.
Adam Silver was actually the only liked commisioner among the 4 major leagues until a few years ago because he placated to the players and cared about being liked. Whereas guys like Goodell and especially Manfred who are hated vastly improved the game and the product.
Haven't been critical of Aaron Judge for his postseason performances because I do believe baseball is way more about the consistency through 6 months but if he doesn't come through against the Blue Jays' pitching staff which he usually dominates, it'll be hard to defend him.
Music critique shouldn't really be a thing anymore. It made sense when you had to go out and buy records but what does it even mean now? It's not even like TV/Films where there's an investment of time involved. No one listens to or stops listening to anything because of a critic
De Bruyne just showed some of his usual magic and it came off the ball falling to him rather them getting it to him
Remember Jerry West saying this during the NBA 75 draft on TNT a couple years ago. Don't think anyone there caught it.

Have always felt that Adam Silver is the worst commissioner in sports because the NBA has done absolutely nothing to improve its product in his tenure. Everyone hates Goodell but the NFL optimizes its product every year to better the viewing experience as much as they can.
