Is Rodrigo De Paul really being phased out of Argentina's new era?

Is Rodrigo De Paul really being phased out of Argentina's new era?

Scaloni only called De Paul up for Messi's farewell, while younger midfielders got the earlier friendlies. After everything De Paul did for La Scaloneta, are we really ready to call time on him already?

$13M for Jameis Winston is honestly a pretty good deal

He's a legit locker-room guy, one of the better backups around, and now the Giants have Jameis plus Jaxson Dart. That's a fun QB room.

Why would Kane rank ahead of World Cup winners Rodri and Yamal?

Kane had 61 goals, the European Golden Shoe and major club trophies. But putting him over a World Cup-winning Rodri or Yamal is still gonna start a war.

AD might already be looking for the exit if the Wizards start badly

Washington has the talent on paper, but if this thing falls apart early, why would AD stick around? A hot start could change everything.

Cubs 17, Brewers 3. What happened here?

Seventeen runs. Three for Milwaukee. At some point this stopped being a baseball game and turned into batting practice.

I get the point about individual greatness, but I still think trophies have to matter.

José Mourinho: "The Ballon d'Or should go to one of those players who, when they retire, we miss them for eternity.

Maradona, Cristiano, Messi, R9, Zidane...

You can't give the Ballon d'Or to a guy just for winning the UCL or the World Cup.

If you should give it to someone just for winning the UCL, then give it to Luis Enrique.

No, it needs to go to the best player in the world, not necessarily a Spanish guy, or a PSG player.

It needs to go to one of the 3-4 best players in the world, and those guys are HERE.

But politics come into the Ballon d'Or, so I don't like getting into politics".

Christian Gonzalez really isn’t worth Devon Witherspoon money?

If Gonzalez is the guy holding that secondary together, why are the Patriots hesitating? Pay the man or risk making this ugly.

Dustin May really cannot catch a break

106 mph comebacker on the first pitch he throws, then he's out of the game. Dude has had brutal injury luck.

Somewhere Lane Kiffin is absolutely losing his mind over this

SEC just closed the door on former pros coming back to college. Rare SEC W, or are we about to see LSU take this to court?

United fixed the midfield. The title problem is still sitting in the back four.

Honestly, Keane's take makes sense. United can score, and the midfield has more balance now, but the defense still feels like the obvious weak link.
