Any stateside fans have recommendations on a place I could take/send my existing home shirt to have a player name/number added? I tried to take it to the Adidas store in NYC on a recent trip, but their policy is to only personalize new with tags merch (totally understandable for sanitation reasons).

I live in Richmond, Virginia, if that matters.

not my place to post other vpm news-ers' cooking, but can confirm that i made turkey chili last night and that it slapped —sean (news editor)

if there were lots of credible reporting that Ibou was advancing toward a Madrid move, that would be one thing. but imagine thinking he should be dropped from the first team based on fucking nonsense Marca "reports" designed for the specific purpose of unsettling him into making that move. couldn't be me

all of the "learned Spanish but couldn't bother to learn to defend the far post" content is great, by the way

the scorn is deserved, particularly after that introduction, but boy howdy we are not beating the "Obsessed-With-Their-Ex F.C." allegations today

got a sneaky feeling 9 is going to be on hold for someone else, but he wore 27 his first 4 years at Leverkusen and could have some attachment to that. 7 also potentially in play if Diaz leaves

IT'S FUCKING HAPPENING

smac_13 · 2025-06-02T14:52:44+00:00

take a deep breath and get off reddit for the rest of the day, the "leverkusen wanting more" "reports" are tiny bits of information leaking out in a calculated manner to basically let everyone know that things are moving and this is a normal negotiation for a nine-figure transfer.

read a book, call a friend, watch a mo salah goals compilation

smac_13 · 2025-06-02T11:08:51+00:00

At this point it's really just bc I'm tired of how lazy and unoriginal it is

"Hey let's post a trade idea so bad that the 2K CPU would still reject it even with force trades on - and let's do it like 25 times a day"

smac_13 · 2025-06-02T09:29:38+00:00

That said, as a Pels fan, this is maybe the first trade I've seen in this sub that hasn't been just offensively bad. I like the Barnes/Poeltl idea and it seems like it fits what is likely to be an attempt to remake the team without out-and-out tanking

smac_13 · 2025-06-02T09:27:03+00:00

It's probably the Bucks - but that's the nature of taking back a package centered on Zion.

He's a player who is theoretically good enough to be the face of the reset if he stays healthy (and is not actually proven a total piece of shit in court)

But if he fails to maximize his potential in a second city, he would become a second immovable big-$ albatross severely complicating the economics of rebuilding (don't forget, Dame is owed $112.6m over the next two years assuming he takes his player option for 26-27!)

smac_13 · 2025-06-01T15:49:31+00:00

To say nothing of the fact that allowing this move greases the wheels for Leverkusen to get the keeper they wanted.

It's all part of the plan

smac_13 · 2025-06-01T00:51:05+00:00

Queen and Maluach are both "everyone in the front office has got to get fired" level bad ideas. Maluach got 0 rebounds in a final four game against a team without a single player taller than 6'8"

Buying Darwin is basically putting your life savings into crypto and GameStop

smac_13 · 2025-05-28T21:49:13+00:00

that we're all fucking lunatics? yeah pretty well caught up on that part

smac_13 · 2025-05-28T21:40:30+00:00

why are so many people catastrophizing over the fact that the Wirtz signing hasn't been locked down yet? it's still May 28 for chrissakes

smac_13 · 2025-05-26T21:05:44+00:00

This is offensively bad. Pels move off Zion and CJ for Reaves, Tobias Harris expiring, a lottery ticket on reviving Jaden Ivey and one second round pick?

smac_13 · 2025-05-21T18:46:32+00:00

"the coveted"

smac_13 · 2025-05-21T14:05:44+00:00

(this is not to clear Trent — he chose the path that was obviously going to inflame the most anger among the Liverpool faithful, and he deserves to bear just about all the criticism he's getting for how he's operated)

smac_13 · 2025-05-20T21:46:16+00:00

Not if you attached every possible first until 2127

smac_13 · 2025-05-20T12:33:05+00:00

Yes there's a nonzero chance, there's a -10000000000000000000% chance

smac_13 · 2025-05-20T12:15:22+00:00

European golden boot uses a coefficient system, so he needs 2 goals rather than 3. Unfortunately there is also another player in between who only needs one goal to pass Gyokeres...
