I’m a sort-of Sox fan (live in Boston, don’t really give a shit about baseball).

Well then, I’m dumb! Help an idiot out?

I have no love for gearheads, but am not able to make total sense of your post. (Bikes/cars/jobs/proof/lying/churches)

Careful out there, kids. I’m a very casual rider, but every year I veer more and more away from any sort of riding that requires me to share the road with cars.

I agree that it should be interference, but I don’t think it’s anywhere near the same level as a whistle.

The only truly great player I can think of who just sort of turned it on whenever he wanted to is Shaq. All of the others (Kobe, MJ, Tom Brady, Tiger Woods) are hypercompetitive maniacs who would try to cut your throat in a fucking game of capture the flag.

Jesus fucking Christ, this is really bringing out a lot of hostility in people. Like, I’m genuinely surprised. Um, have fun calling people cunts on the Internet. You’re pretty good at it!

Okay, I’ll cop to being ignorant.

Ugh, maybe I’m dumb! Before I settle on that, though:

“Non-contact jerseys.” “New diktat.”

So, if you’re hitting on something where the chances of failure are super high, isn’t that the definition of luck?

Why do these shots so often sail twenty feet over the crossbar, then? (Again, legitimate question, not being argumentative.) Like, in basketball, being guarded lowers the chances of a made shot substantially, but almost every shot still hits the rim. Soccer shots spray absolutely everywhere, and so when one finds the…

This is fucking awful.

Yeah, but I guess it’s just the fact that soccer goals are already rare, and then truly beautiful goals are SUPER rare — to the point that it seems equivalent to a basketball player heaving up from three-quarters court and sinking it. And when that happens, you’re like “what a shot!” but you don’t kid yourself and say…
