Colorado-based fast-food juggernaut Chipotle has been making a name for itself over the past couple of years. Despite the recent E. Coli scare last year, the mexican food chain is still going strong and has been one of America’s most beloved places to snag a quick burrito. It puts out some fire tweets every once in awhile, as well.

Precocious 20-year-old American center back Matt Miazga, who we have just realized looks exactly like he could be Dejan Lovren's little brother, made his Premier League debut for Chelsea Saturday. Chelsea took on last-place Aston Villa (featuring Miazga's international teammate Brad Guzan in goal) and walloped them accordingly, 4-0.
It was a big moment for the youngster, but he comported himself well given that in an ideal world he would have either of Chelsea's most experienced center backs, John Terry or Gary Cahill, by his side during his debut. Both were injured.
On March 9, Clint Dempsey turned 33. George Best, Eric Cantona and Michel Platini all retired before reaching that milestone. Zinedine Zidane, Pele and Jurgen Klinsmann all retired at 34. With that in mind, you could forgive Dempsey for slowing down as he reaches the later stages of his playing career.
But Clint Dempsey would never forgive himself.
Death. Taxes. These words are usually followed by a third thing used to illustrate certainty. Death. Taxes. Gigi Buffon.
Death. Taxes. The patriarchy.
This one is interesting because the latter subject is responsible in varying degrees for the other two, and because it may not be such a certainty anymore. One arena where the patriarchy has always been unquestioned in its dominance is the literal arena. Sports.
The NCAA Tournament will reach it’s climax this coming Saturday and Monday as the four teams who made progressed so far (North Carolina, Syracuse, Oklahoma, Villanova) square off to see who is this year’s king of hoops. Even if your bracket has been or is completely ruined, chances are you might be tuning in to see who will prevail, as this year’s field promises to bring some compelling drama.
Dear Guatemala Football Federation,
I would like to personally offer a sincere danke schoen thank you for embarrassing my team Friday night in Guatemala City, beating us 2-0, and thus forcing me to make several changes to our squad. I learned so much from that butt-kicking on your home soil and that is precisely why we were able to beat you 4-0 in Columbus, Ohio Tuesday night. So, again, thank you!
According to a report from the AS in Spain, David Beckham is looking to make Roberto Carlos manager of his new Miami MLS expansion club. The two spent four years together at Real Madrid and have remained great friends ever since.
The USMNT had a chance. They came into USA vs. Colombia in Frisco, Texas, having tied the away leg, 1-1. That away goal proved useless, however. Here's what soccer Twitter thought of the match.
The Colombian fans significantly outnumber the U.S. fans here in Frisco. Pretty impressive.

USA vs. Guatemala didn't go very well on Friday for the USMNT, but they figured it out in COlumbus, cruising to an easy 4-0 win thanks to goals from Clint Dempsey, Geoff Cameron, Graham Zusi and Jozy Altidore. We'll let Twitter take it from here.
How are people feeling about the lineup? I'm sticking to a 3-0 USA win, assuming they bring their finishing boots: pic.twitter.com/UqwXohmxOj
Cristiano Ronaldo and LeBron James may play different sports, but they have a lot in common. They are two of the biggest superstars in the entire world, and two of the most polarizing. They have it all: money, fame, awards, and championships, but that's not going to stop me from saying they are two of the most underappreciated athletes in the world.
Underappreciated? How can you say they are underappreciated? Well, now that I have your attention, I will explain it.
