Well, it's also partly due to David Beckham Syndrome:

This is the perfect punishment for the Patriots. Forever, no matter what happens, this will be the year that the Patriots went to the Super Bowl and had to speak publicly numerous times about their balls.

Not a huge fan of Ronaldo, but I can't help but look at that first gif with this playing in my head:

Guy with "Dick Smith" on his shirt watches as someone's ball hits a bird.....

Recently obtained footage of the scene shows a different story:

I prefer the Scandanavian death metal Cello version of Fight Fire with Fire. It embodies the neoclassical intro with thrash metal hair and... wood

More like Super Bowels. Right? RIGHT?!?!

That tweet has a three misspellings: "MSG is putting PICTURES up on the jumbotron to see if fans can figure out WHO EACH player is [...]"

I definitely had the same Terminator-based reaction to this story as well... my second reaction was: at least Taco Bell isn't the only restaurant that survived the franchise wars

I kind of hate you for how perfect this is.... WE'RE NUMBER 4!

Nope, not in the US (unless Massachusetts has a special law, which I doubt). In Europe they often have a "loser pays the legal fees" but in the US, you pay for your own.

I believe this goes perfectly with this tweet:

And then Bud Light will be dropped as the official sponsor of the NFL ......

Hey, I can also think of another big piece of aerospace technology that had a problem that was solved by painting a fuel tank another color (granted, I think it was just to make the tank lighter):

I apologize for coming out a bit more like a Troll then I intended. I relent that you are correct in describing everything, and my "70%" figure was a total hyperbole (i.e. made up statistic), but ballistic missiles had a relatively high failure rate because it was economical for a nuclear missile to fail. It was a…

hahahaha, non-human rated rockets include such death traps as: the Saturn V rocket and its variants and the Space Shuttle. "Human rating" is a left over relic from the Mercury and Gemini programs when astronauts literally were riding ballistic missiles that were built intentionally with a 70% success rate (when you…

I thought it was uno, dos, tres, quatorze!
