Messi for me, and it is not even close. Yes, Ronaldo has scored goals, but I don't think we will truly appreciate Messi until he retires. I've watched a lot of his career in Spain, now in the MLS, and with Argentina, and he can do things in a game that you wouldn't believe, not once, but two or three times. I don't think Ronaldo ranks in the top 5 - Messi, Pele, Maradona, Cruyff, and Platini.
But, whether you say Messi or Ronaldo, one thing’s for sure, we’ve witnessed something truly historic. Legends, both of them, and we are lucky to have watched them over the past two decades.
Messi, Suarez, Neymar
The movement, the unpredictability, and the constant interchanging created chaos. They caused sheer panic for defenders. The only way to contain them was to double-press which often opened up even more space.
The offseason has become a pivotal time in the NFL, and the 2025 offseason is no exception. Evaluating winners and losers often hinges on trades, free agency signings, and draft picks. Here are some of the key points for consideration regarding this year's offseason landscape.
Impact of the Draft: Which rookies are turning heads during OTAs and mini-camps? Are there any surprises or standout performances?
Free Agency Dynamics: How impactful are the new signings on teams' offensive and defensive strategies?
Injury Management: How are teams approaching injury management with new conditioning strategies during the offseason?
Now, teams largely will go dark as coaches and players spend the next month recharging and enjoying some much-needed family time. The action ramps back up in late July as teams report for training camp.
As the offseason continues to unfold, we can expect more developments that may change the current narrative. What are your thoughts on potential sleeper teams or players to watch as we move towards training camps?
Everton comes out of this rather well. 40,000 stadium with just 12 executive boxes ...struggled for years ...and still top 20. When the new stadium kicks in I can see them moving up that chart.
Rodgers is a total oddball but he is probably their best chance to be competitive in 2025. Unless he falls off a cliff he is likely to be the best QB they’ve had since Ben blew out his elbow.
They’re not going to be a contender but it’ll make the season interesting at least.
They are stuck, decent enough roster, too good to be picking at the top of the draft, not good enough to be relevant in January

Most competitive postseason I have ever seen in the NBA, and I’m as old as dirt. Happy that parity has arrived.
