Lots of analytical draft analysis comes with a lot of uncertainty due to small sample sizes and the league changing over time. Hence I thought of a method to compute the value of draft picks intrinsically. Here it is: pff.com/news/draft-202…

Also the best US sport would, of course, never be played with fear in mind, that's why I never heard the sentence "but what if we fail the 4th&2 at the 20 yard line" in my life ever,,

It wasn't necessarily fearlessness, it was mostly unserious defense, which is completely understandable in a glorified friendly. Nobody wants to get injured and the play against the ball is the exhausting part of it. New season starts in 5 weeks for some teams of those players.
Vincent Bonsignore@VinnyBonsignore

Today's third-place World Cup soccer match perfectly encapsulated America's misgivings with soccer. Two teams playing fearlessly = entertaining sport. As opposed to the overwhelming amount of games involving two teams playing out of fear of losing. We're just not wired that way in the USA

@StollerDav Absolutely, I kinda assume FIFA is not going to do anything before tomorrow. There was some sort of press conference with Trump and Infantino yesterday, so this would have been the opportunity to make it clear that FIFA's rules are still worth a penny. Would gladly be wrong here

@Timo_NFL This isn’t exactly correct. Yeah, it was scumbag behavior by Argentina to expect the US government to do anything about it is unfair. It’s FIFA’s job to do whatever they wanna do.

@mjames52845374 Awesome now you made your whataboutism (which is not equal to hypocrisy) concrete. Note there has always been a difference in expected behavior for players/team officials compared to fans. Fans can basically do everything but break the law.

@Timo_NFL There's another word for whataboutism. Its called hypocrisy. When england supporters who have been singing songs about World War 2 and the IRA all tournament long get their panties up in a bunch about the Argentinians.

@mjames52845374 Like you're too lazy for concrete whataboutism so you just use abstract whataboutism by saying the world is full of injustice, lmao

@mjames52845374 If you understand that the white house doesn't have jurisdiction why did you bring up free speech to being with. It's entirely irrelevant and a red herring to the discussion. The "the world is full injustice so we let this one stand" argument is the dumbest thing ever.

@mjames52845374 Also the freedom of speech thing is a huge strawman that's brought up. Nobody said they would've broken the law or anything. They've broken a sacred FIFA rule. If you insult the referee during a game, that's also freedom of speech and yet you get a red card.

@mjames52845374 Yes, it is, but the game is in less than 23 hours, and FIFA hasn't objected yet, so it's doubtful they will do anything before the final (in which case Argentina would indeed feel invited to do the same thing again)

@Timo_NFL Should be, but remember the discussions four years ago in Qatar re homosexuality. Then again, FIFA banned the Capo Verde jersey iirc for showing some political message... it's like Pippi Langstrumpf what they do.

@CFB_Hogan Fwiw that should be a FIFA only matter, right? I don't remember the host nation having a say in that (it also makes no sense for the host to intervene because from a state law standpoint, it's just freedom of speech, obviously)

@Timo_NFL i think we've established that at least the americans do not give a fuck regarding certain matters if it satisfies their thirst for "justice" or "freedom"

Like I understand you can't really suspend half the team for the final and that's fine, because we want to see a good final, but just inviting them to break the rules again (in an extremely embarrassing way) is insane. Also there are other ways of punishment, obviously

FIFA's own rules are simply worth nothing anymore, they are just selectively enforced or disregarded based on personal preferences of some rich and corrupt old men

@ConnorAllenNFL I just don't see the comp on any dimension I could think of. Importance of the game, timing of the turnaroun, legacy of the winner/loser, flukiness of the event... it's all different

@ConnorAllenNFL Yes the Pats were really dumb to go in prevent there, usually teams just go cover 0 on the last snap of the game 70 yards away from the endzone /s
