They really like to have fun lol, it's great:
NBA pundits aren't like other sports. Baseball pundits are a bunch of old white men with no energy, football pundits are a bunch of old white men with too many head injuries from their football careers, and hockey pundits are a bunch of Canadians. Basketball pundits are the only interesting ones. Too bad the NBA is becoming the least popular major sports league in the U.S.
Yeah indeed, but im sure in an interview the other day he did say he was going to stay. I did think he would leave personally, and i think that is a good move for QPR, as he has 0 experience at that level (well he does like 25years ago with Bournemouth) so it could be a good move.

Even amongst NBA pundits this group is alot more entertaining then most other setups the NBA rolls with this is specifically their TNT team.
The team with Magic, Simmons, Wilbon (why is he even there) Broussard (in and out) isnt even remotely as entertaining and they are probably the next best one they have.

glad i took them both to my fantasy team this week
First time in absolutely years I've seen Villa thrash someone.
As the 5th and 6th went in, I don't think I even celebrated, I'm still shocked.
The players, stadium, and fantastic crowd on display last night go to show that this is a club that doesn't belong towards the bottom of the table, never mind the next division down, there will be no relegation for us, thanks. :D
More of a football magazine than anything else. Plus they call it soccer = insta don't use xD
I will never say anything is defiant with Mourinho, and especially when it concerns Chelsea. I hope with everything that he is going to return to the Bridge, but i cannot say it will happen, just need to wait until around the end of this month and we will find out. Rafa leaves in just over 2 weeks...happy days inc for Chelsea

I would never ever quote goal.com lol. The site is pure trash.
lol yeah true, but its still considered a "big" football site, so i decided to post it. You are right though, the site is... bad
But imagine that chelsea team with falcao and mourinho. Falcao will love getting chances from mata, hazard, and oscar.
Would be so good. Mou is great at picking players to go with other players. Plus he would be able to converse easily with every member of the team in their native tongue (actually except Hazard Ba and Cech I guess), can only be good for morale for example if they have an issue and they want to bring it up with him.
Would be a sweet addition for the Blues. They have an impressive squad, with the right approach and decent striking they'll challenge for a title next year.
