    So Los Angeles sucks

    See that just gets me thinking about all the hole in the wall places around the city that are a mish-mash of different cultures all mixed together and are awesome. One of my kids had a soccer tourney in La Habra a couple of weeks ago, we ended up at a Shabu Shabu restaurant where we were the...

    I don't think he'll ever actually play. USC has done this kind of stuff for years with kids that have life threatening diseases, they have them at practice and as the ball boy. Maybe it makes for good PR, who knows. That said this Stanford game on Saturday will say a lot about where the...

    That Roma goal vs. Barca today, wtf. Some are saying Ter Stegen was fine in his positioning, others not but has anybody ever seen anybody actually score from that area before? That just seems ridiculous to score from that angle that far out. As I said yesterday, I'm pulling for the EPL...

    Peruvian is my favorite. Their ceviche dishes are more like sashimi due to the large Japanese population that lives in Peru. They also use chimichurri with their steaks which is the greatest steak sauce ever invented.

    That doesn't even get into the various latin (ie. non-mexican), korean, regular japanese, persian, etc. food that is available out here. I just went to Raffi's in Glendale for the first time, never cared for Persian food before but that shit was amazing. And yeah, Urasawa is $500 a person...

    Shit like this that makes me more pissed at Rodgers for the game plan this past weekend. ManU's defense is terrible yet the plan is to sit back and never really attack? Just terrible. I normally don't like rooting for the teams LFC is competing against but with the 2 losses today the EPL is...

    Both teams are shit, anybody who says otherwise is a retard. Martial's shot was the first on target from open play the entire game from ManU, that was in the 87th minute. I'd say neither team deserves top 4 the way they played. Watching Atl. Madrid vs. Barca after that was night and day.

    I've been a Bears fan all my life. But they're a shit organization if the last 30 years have shown anything. The Cowboys have 20 years now of being truly shit but they won't accept that until Jerrah croaks they won't be anything but shit. But that realization will come and come hard.

    The player pool is really low so the games are wonky as already discussed. Then again I started doing ranked on the normal one as well and the games have just been as terrible. I thought it would be better than non-ranked at minimum but that was sorely mistaken. Unless I play the game of my...

    Am having a real issue with auto attack after spell function, have a turn it off for techies and some other heroes but then for a right clicker if you use any ability you lose your target. Just a small gripe I guess. Other than that it's all I've been playing the last day or two to get ready...

    Yeah the Yoda fights in all the prequels were terrible. At his height he should be chopping ankles for easy decapitation once they are on the ground, not hoping around like a frog doing nothing. I'd say the Windu vs. Emperor is the only one that makes at least a little bit of sense. The rest...

    Just watching some of his runs, he runs away from a whole team even after trucking a couple of defenders. He was easily the fastest person on the field, whether that meant a legit sub 4.2 speed who knows. Most people can't even tell the difference in a 1/10th of a second.

    Just going to get this out of the way now. The Bears will be lucky to go 4-12 and I have almost no interest in watching them aside from Cutler just losing it and lighting up a cig or a bowl on the sidelines as he doesn't give a shit anyway. This will then conclude his Bears career in which it...

    The 2011 articles of his signing mention 30k, I can only find one site that says 75k and I can't believe that's write. Anyway, after LvG slandered him to the media a couple of weeks ago I'm sure he'll be raring to go to play for him.....

    DDG is in 30k per week as his contract was signed 5 years ago, he should be on at least 150k per week if that fat turd Rooney is on 300k. Actually he should be paid more than Rooney but he's a GK and that would never happen even though he's more important to the team now. So Rooney it is...

    It's 36m pounds with 22m in add-ons per the French reporter that started the story on Martial. Monaco already told Spuds to fuck off in earlier talks so it was going to take stupid money to get him. He could be a great player, he isn't now though so I don't really get how this helps the team...

    Everton actually won't get anywhere near 40m pounds for Stones, they still owe Chelsea something like 18m on Lukaku which is due next Monday and then Barnsly has a 15% sell-on fee supposedly. Also considering Stones is on 30k a week (which is why he wants to leave) and the wages of the new...

    I like it solely for how it considers the games that have been played so far and the expected performance in those games. I think too much is made out of one game, it's a 38 game schedule and a lot can happen so to say that one team is doing considerably better than the other when the schedules...

    I'd say you're more lucky that our offensive third play hasn't gelled yet than that Ramsey's goal didn't stand. Any other team that was on it would have put at least 4 in the net with the chance Chambers and Bellerin were giving away great saves from Cech or not. I think Bellerin is still...

    Thought there were a lot of good games this weekend, Pulis threw away WBA chance to equal against Chelsea in my mind. ManU isn't going to score a lot this year unless Fellaini is the second coming, Neymar is coming thought right? LOL.

    We should be able to setup similar to West Ham and play on the break with better players than them. With that said the thought of Lovren dealing with Sanchez and our history at the Emirates makes me think a draw is the best hope. We'll see.

    Bournemouth didn't create a single chance from open play. The media narrative focuses so much on an injustice done to a smaller side that what actually happened in the game aside from that is completely ignored.

    I think Rodgers decided early on that whoever was available for the full pre-season was going to start to give us the best chance to win right away. I understand why he's doing it but Lallana is making my prediction last year look terrible and Ibe isn't ready for a full time starting gig.
