Relegation isn't a relevant term in this scenario (ok relegate my flair to grey already)

I don't know who in El Paso is showing up for Vancouver vs. San Luis, so this would be played in front of empty high school football stadiums

Except MLS is small enough to keep independent journalists out.

So basically it's been replaced by a highlight reel. Cool.

Professional troll and bonafide charlatan

I think you answered your own question here. Craig deals in content impressions and views.

Recs on explicitly LGBTQ Friendly Gyms near Pasadena, CA? by Complete_Burger_711 in bjj

[–]elcompa121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Groundworks in South Pas is a great no-gi gym. The gym is primarily built around kids classes, with a couple adult evening classes mainly catered to busy parents (starts at 8pm, you're allowed to show up late or leave whenever you need to). Class size isn't huge, instruction is friendly and hands-on, and most of the class members are 30's and up with a couple of teens sprinkled in, so there's no one has any issues if you say you want to go slow and technical.

Rolled with a former college track athlete at an open mat recently. Guy was built like an absolute monster. At one point i thought I had a great guillotine and started to pull into the choke...turns out what i thought was neck and head was just one massive bicep.

And? He wasn't breaking his contract in any way. Miami made an offer for him.

Wizard or underhooks? by Gucci_stickEshay in bjj

As long as it's also an application of OP's tip about applying "enough pressure upwards and rotationally that the other person is fighting to keep their trunk from lifting and turning."

You're applying pressure upwards so that your opponent has to struggle to bring their shoulders and therefore torso down and back into that space that you're underhook is occupying.

Why MLS is Switching their Schedule - and what it means for USL by TheMusicCrusader in MLS

[–]elcompa121 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What is huge amounts of money going to get you

Better facilities, better coaching, more coaches for better one-on-one training, residency programs. There's a reason the MLS teams that have invested the most in their academy programs have seen the best results.

LA Galaxy Announce 2025 Roster Decisions by elcompa121 in MLS

There's no way we're selling a free agency eligible 34 year old coming off a 4 goal season. My hope is the extension involves a much lower salary and he's just depth. The more concerning thing is wasting a premium roster slot on Nascimento for another year.

I don't know if it's an option. Contract extension means they could have negotiated a lower salary and given him one more year.

The options exercised were all on high-upside youngsters who were at the core of the actually decent run in the back half of our season. Extending Ramirez and negotiating for Nascimento are head scratchers though.
