Kyle walker will him teach him the way

You cant learn anything from your backup. Adebayor is going to enjoy playing with a RB that can actually deliver the ball. Even got Walker beat on pace.

Except Yedlin's not a very good defender. He's not better than Walker right now by a long shot. I think the fact that Spurs only spent 4 million to acquire him speaks volumes.

have you ever seen Walker defend?

4 million for a RB from the MLS is actually a lot money. Its more than the salary cap.

I know I am several months late but just finished that Deadspin article on Jason Whitlock.

Remarkable stuff, but I actually would like to see a black grantland (one without Ayesha Siddiqi). Soul Food though? Sounds like the worst. I often wonder if black people realize how conservative and exclusionary we can be sometimes. At the least it just sounds like the laziest type of pandering. But since that name is off the table all these thoughts are for naught.

And I did like the last bit. I was thinking while I was reading throughout the article if there were any black journalists who didn't feel the need to write about race and if that were even a possibility. And then Rembert Brown (who I actually despise on White Grantland) said exactly what I was thinking. Good idea Rembert!

Oh and by the way this weekend is the premier league!

Me, on saturday =

I've seen Walker defend. Yedlin is much, much worse right now.

BTW, Rembert Browne is an excellent writer. He's absolutely insufferable as a personality. Every broad stereotype about black hipster mixed with an Ivy League education rolled into one person

Yedlin would be loaned out to Oldham the following year if that happen.

Most of the things I come across by him on White Grantland are either listicles, articles filled with 5+ youtube clips, or simple blurbs.

Wesley Morris is by some distance in my opinion the best writer on White Grantland, the rest are sorta nondescript.

Just yesterday they had an article looking at Barcelona for the coming season, the same day Sid Lowe posted his Barca preview on the Guardian and it was night and day in terms of quality...even though admittedly they came to more or less the same points.

sounds like evolution to me

And as we are having this conversation, Rembert is live tweeting from Ferguson

have to agree with this

Bill Barnwell and Zach Lowe are great with the analysis tho.

Rembrandt is a very corny individual and it seeps into his writings.
