Probably not as much as you would think seeing how this stuff is split up evenly among the teams.

...or at the very least wear something like this over your nose:

If you told a 13 year-old kid who is a sports fan that they could compile sports stats for a living? He'd be highfiving everyone in home room.

Why should the government run the military? Conservatives keep claiming government is bad so why would you want such an essential service being run by incompetent people?

Maybe a shitty venue? It was freezing there from all that wind chill.

Saying the public was scammed into building a stadium is a bit like saying politicians are a bit shady.

He's probably a nice guy but it's dangerous to start making character assumptions based on publicized charity work. I learned this when I was younger after the whole Eugene Robinson/Super Bowl hooker fiasco.

The race was close up until the biting part and then at that point it was fait accompli for Bale. You also do have to factor Suarez's baggage when talking about players. This is a guy who could potentially hurt your team if he's suspended (you could also factor this in for Sergio Ramos). It's also telling that…

Guiseppe Rossi is ranked 54th so there's our representation! USA! USA! USA!

That's not a zombie kid, that's Sammy Sosa.

Ronaldo is a better all-around player than Messi. At times Messi can be like the old Ronaldo (when he's not being fed, no pun intended, it can be like playing 10 on 11.)

They started the past year for their clubs, just aren't regulars at this point.

Why's that so absurd? Neymar is the best Brazilian attacker.

So this is obviously not an ESPN ranking.

Also a weak defender (which wouldn't be a big deal until you realize he technically is a defender).

Bale is a better player than Suarez. Bale was PFA Player of the Year last season and continues to impress for Real Madrid. Neymar is the best player for Brazil. Not to say Suarez and Aguero are bad, just saying why they're below Bale and Neymar.

So you're saying everything the government does should be for profit?

King might be over the hill but when you're in a profession littered with Pete Prisco's and Rick Reilly's, I can totally understand why he's seen as a leading light in the industry.

It's called "breathing space" not invading.
