for all the complaints many of us have with Klinsmann's inability to define a style of play, I truly believe Bradley has been a huge part of that problem. He's not a great 6, he's not a great 8, and he certainly can't slide up into the 10. so what the heck is he? he's a creator who can't be relied on to defend or be allowed to get too far forward which exposes a wide open midfield. Klinsmann has tried and failed to build the team around Bradley.

the 4-4-2 diamond didn't work because it either forced Bradley forward where his creativity gets gummed up or it left him alone in front of the back 4 where he was a liability. prior to that the 4-2-3-1 was actually working ok when Jozy was healthy and at the top of his game, but with no target 9, that formation turns into a 6 man midfield with no goal scoring chances. and now we're toying with the 4-3-3 which again leaves Bradley alone in the middle of the field to protect the back line. he can't be there by himself. he needs to be a 6/8 hybrid playing next to another 6/8 hybrid who can defend first but get forward if Bradley is sitting too deep. this brings us back to the 4-2-3-1 or maybe a 4-1-4-1 setup with Michael playing the 8 spot next to the 10, but either way, who is the #9? Can it be Wood? all of our forwards seem to be better with a partner up top which leaves us no comfortable place to put Bradley. he's a good player who can be invaluable on set pieces, but just doesn't seem to fit with our current roster options over 90 minutes.

I think Sansa's letter went to Littlefinger. It would be out of character if he wasn't playing her.

Here is one, an OL kid, for the 2018 class granted, but still a short offer list if he is really a big time blue chip. Originally from Detroit but moved to Georgia when he was 6, so logistically might have been hard for him to visit the schools he had an affinity for.

Didn't even participate, just watched on the sidelines and committed to Michigan: http://www.mlive.com/wolverines/index.ssf/2016/06/2018_offensive_lineman...

So there is a good example of a kid showing up, being seen in person, and things going fast.

For VT, obviously we don't yet, since the first one in NJ isn't for a week or two IIRC.

I can't agree with that being satisfying. Besides reintroducing The Hound at a breakneck pace, not much else happened. I'm a proponent of moving the plot along and allowing some shows to set up other more important shows, but this wasn't a show I'll rewatch multiple times. Probably my least favorite of the season.

The rallying the North scenes are playing out just as Littlefinger had anticipated. He's still in control of Sansa and that's not going to end well.

I read it that The Hound will be hunting down the BwoB with his violence. Not sure how he would ever end up against The Mountain, maybe CleganeBowl is just something we've been dreaming up?

As much as I like Ian McShane and The Hound, that whole series of scenes seemed so forced. Why not just bring him back slowly in Ep 2 or 3 and build up to this point? Instead, it was another rushed backstory piece. Now, to have The Hound miraculously end up in KL to face off with his brother in the next three episodes would be just doubling down on the forced nature of The Hound in this season. Compare and contrast that to the pace of The Hound/Arya saga that built up their relationship.

As long as they don't make those two seasons don't last more than two years. I'm getting tired of shows ending with half a season one year and the other half the following year. Now a spring and winter split would be nice.

Stay away from the Eastern side of town where 70 & 29 intersect. The Northwest part of Greensboro is a great place to raise a family and the schools are good there, too. If you're looking for something to do on a Saturday make a short drive down to Saxapahaw (in Alamance Co.). The general store is great and the brewery is awesome too!

If you're looking for something closer to home I would strongly suggest going to Greene St. and walking around there. It's great for families during the day, and if you want to take your wife on a date there are several great options in the immediate area as well: Natty Greene's & Gibbs Hundred are great spots for a date.

Also, I 2nd the recommendation for Foothills in Winston-Salem.

In Greensboro, take a tour of HQ Greensboro, a startup co-working office. It's a cool place with pretty well-connected people.

+1 to this. I worked out of there until we moved this past weekend. Great place to stay connected to smart folks.

Are you seriously arguing moral relativism right now? Because it's been refuted all over the place. Our opinions of certain morals, and how we apply them, may be conditioned, but the underlying moral principle is rigid. There is definable right and wrong. The payment of student athletes is not, in and of itself, a moral question. The moral question is "should people be fairly compensated for labor?" The arguments on this specific issue are not moral arguments, but technical ones regarding how to define fair compensation in this case. We all agree that athletes should be taken care of in some way. We disagree in the proposed means. The only reason that morality got brought up was because people equate legality with morality, which is false. A thing can be right even if it's against the rules. It is not inherently immoral to break rules. One must examine the reasoning behind both the rule and the action which violates it.

Enjoy every minute. It's absolutely stunning.
My experience there.
(There are a couple of other posts with pics and other excursions too.)

Noodles are a good ball.
If you want to try something slightly different, the MG Tour C4 is very similar to the Callaway Chrome+. (It basically is the newer version, for $20 a dozen.) Longer than the Project A with just about the same spin into greens.
