This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Altidore misses the easy shit by spade
Lol right after Altidore's whiff, at this bar I was at in Atlanta (Edit: with crappy fans) started the "Its really very simple, put the ball into..." chant which was hilarious. Right after the chant ends I yell Altidore you suck and they main chant guy (with #17 jersey) takes offense. I yell, "He IS terrible he just whiffed on those "very simple" ones you just chanted about!"
He is an OK player, but the offense cannot revolve around him. He's not a good enough striker for that. His instinct shots are good, but if given a few seconds to think about it (like his failed slide shot just before CR's second goal) he never capitalizes.
