    Timothy Burke’s home raided by feds

    A source tells me he's "80% sure" Burke was in on the hacks.

    Where do you think he is headed? I really hope it's not Barstool. I enjoy Andy's content but I'm not supporting those losers.

    Gambling Thread

    Hit a five-team parlay on the biggest games last weekend -- took Georgia, Florida, ND, Florida State and Arkansas. Very happy with the result.

    Youth Sports (i.e. the thing we all loved which parents have now ruined)

    Update on this one -- they closed out their season yesterday. They ended up winning the conference-wide tournament and finishing second in their top flight. (The two systems ran separately in parallel.) Probably would have won the flight too except they split the series with the team that won it...

    I don't think he was accusing us of actually molesting children -- just for some reason deciding that we took joy in moving a player down because his son isn't as good as the father thinks. Here's the next level crazy -- we get an email today from the mother asking where the offer for the...

    Youth Sports (i.e. the thing we all loved which parents have now ruined)

    The joys of youth sport volunteering. Club president and I on a call with a dad who didn't like his kid's placement on the B team for next season. "You forking assholes. Do you like forking over kids? Do you get paid to fork over kids?"

    Were you a good athlete as a kid?

    Short answer: No. I was a decent 7-8-9 year old soccer player -- leading scorer on some terrible teams but once you had to be more than just fast, I was lost. Packed on some pounds and switched to football where I was a consistent offensive live starter in 8th grade, freshman and JV but...

    He ended up getting offers from both clubs where he tried out -- one with a top-level club that has plenty of advancement opportunities if he gets better and one with a low-level club where two of his friends are going. He ended up picking the better club and he's excited. He gets once last...

    Youth Sports (i.e. the thing we all loved which parents have now ruined)

    The team had to move out of their current conference. There's no point in crushing your opponents every week. The problem is -- moving up means moving from one system (US Club) to another (EDP). You can only play for one team in each system. Some of the players on the team were already playing...

    Youth Sports (i.e. the thing we all loved which parents have now ruined)

    Just had a gut punch conversation with my son. He's 11 years old and has been playing soccer with the same group of kids since he was 5 years old. And they are a good group of kids and have become damn good at soccer. They've won their US Club conference at the highest flight for the last three...

    With a D R I V E off into the sunset!

    Who the heck didn't like Doc Emrick? Did they also hate ice cream, cool fall days and puppies?

    President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

    OK Trump is an idiot and is wrong about what the flu vaccine would do. However, the flu vaccine does help with the spread of coronavirus but not in the way Trump apparently thinks it does. (my source is: I am in the risk management business and talk to smart people about coronavirus several...

    The Biggest LOOSER -- running weight loss thread

    I make myself a fruit smoothie every morning and I get a ton of sweetness without added sugar. I do a banana, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, protein powder or natural peanut butter plus frozen fruit and its great. I sometimes added spinach or carrots to make it even healthier. It fills me up...

    Take care of yourself

    I'm down 25 pounds since mid-July by focusing on cutting out added sugars and eating more lean meats and vegetables. I haven't completely eliminated carbs but I've cut back a lot. Between fixing my diet and getting on the Peloton at least five times per week. I'm leaner and stronger than I've...

    College football, week 1 thread

    3-4 loses at best? I'd see two loses at best. 3-4 loses most likely. ND's schedule is not that tough this year. Georgia, Stanford and Michigan are all likely losses but it's hard to find one more likely loss, let alone two. New Mexico and Bowling Green are crap. BC is not good. Navy is...
