    Alternatively, if there isn’t daylight between the defender and the attacker, the ref’s flag stays down and the play continues on the field. I’m ok with that.

    2026 World Cup - General Discussion & Non-USA teams thread

    Having played the game myself for many years, I think one simple change could make a big difference. Right now, if any part of the attacking player is past the defender, the attacker is deemed to be offsides. I probably haven’t thought this potential rule change through completely. But my...

    2026 World Cup - USA team thread

    Thanks for the helpful explanation, Tom. I didn't see much in the way of arguing from the US team, so I figured #22 must have been in a legal position at the time of the goal.

    2026 World Cup - USA team thread

    On the final goal , #22 looked to be offsides on the pass that went across to #26. Then #22 scored the goal on the rebound from #26’s shot. Is the offsides on #22 wiped out once the ball hits a US player? I thought back in the day that #22 was still considered offsides in that situation.

    I'm curious, are you someone who uplifts or negative who breaks down moments and thoughts of others?

    I had three high school buddies out to my place in AZ for a golf trip in April. Two of the guys were great. But the third guy, who I invited because he is going through some challenging personal circumstances, would try to throw cold water on any situation we were in. We busted his balls...

    OT: NBA Finals Knicks-Spurs. (“I don’t watch the NBA” posts are in another thread.)

    This has been a really entertaining series. I'm not a fan of either team, although I grew up in upstate NY. But there is no way this series ends in five games. The NBA will not allow it. Based on my experience with NY fans, they will immediately flip from being on top of the world to the...

    BWI Film Club: New Movie Trailers…

    Critics reviews are at 84% on Rotten Tomatoes as of today, which is a good sign if the upcoming audience reviews are similarly strong. In recent years, I tend to avoid movies that are rated highly by critics but low on the audience reviews. Conversely, some of the best movies that I have seen...

    OT: NBA Finals Knicks-Spurs. (“I don’t watch the NBA” posts are in another thread.)

    I do think that flopping is out of hand around the league, but OKC took it to another level. I read somewhere that great players historically were trying to make the basket and getting a foul call was not the focus. But OKC is trying to draw the foul, and making the basket is not the focus. It...

    OT: NBA Finals Knicks-Spurs. (“I don’t watch the NBA” posts are in another thread.)

    Knicks-Spurs is so much better than anything involving that OKC team. It would have been a disaster for the league for OKC to be in the Finals flopping around like dead fish.

    FC/OT: Happy Pride Month!

    As usual, I think Norm had the best take on the issue. Martyupnorth®- Unacceptable Fact Checker on X: "In honour of PRIDE month, here's the incomparable Norm McDonald telling a joke about older parents being proud of their gay son. Fair warning.... it's colourful. https://t.co/HRwEo6ATkM" / X

    2025 - 2026 Premier League thread

    My guess is that they will dock MC enough points to knock them out of the Champions League and the Europa League, but not enough to relegate them out of the Premier League. Obviously, I could be wrong about this, but that is the vibe I’m getting from some buddies who live in the UK.

    It is good to see supply and demand work its magic. This looks to be one of those times when waiting for the last moment may serve ticket buyers well.

    Any golf course recommendations east of Denver, CO?

    You might try Riverdale Dunes. That is a Pete Dye course that I believe is run by the City of Brighton and is usually in good shape. It is a nice option that is near the airport to you. I've heard that Buffalo Run, another course near the airport, is not being kept up nearly as well as...

    2025 - 2026 Premier League thread

    I have to disagree with you, Tom. If there was no goal on the play and the ball was cleared or went out of bounds, there would not have been a foul called on the play made against the keeper. It was a weak call. With that said, the Arsenal keeper needs to be much more assertive in that...
