Same goes for what you eat during your ‘thon. You can’t run four hours without replenishing some calories in your body. I eat those disgusting gels they sell at local running stores (Gu’s salted caramel and sea salt chocolate are my favorite)—they’re loaded with sugar, carbohydrates, and, if you want it, caffeine. But…

This match doesn’t take place for another six fucking weeks? Based on how much I’ve read about it this week, I thought it was tomorrow. God help us.

Yes. Personal, cultural, environmental, whatever reason they have for not coming out. It wasn’t judgmental.

My take is more along the lines of “I wish this wasn’t news.”

I don’t care, to be honest. Bad management shouldn’t be rewarded.

Option 1: Ditch the draft
Option 2: Change how draft picks are allocated. If you keep the lottery, give the best odds to the team with the best record that didn’t make the playoffs, and lower the odds from there to the worst team.

Damn, this needs to come out of the grays.

Few things.

Just a guess: It’s because they speak English.

1) Jack Sock got chunky since the last time I saw him play. How does that happen to a tennis player, of all athletes?

2) 4 of the top 6 teenagers in the ATP rankings are American (Tiafoe, Fritz, Opelka, Kozlov). The women’s side is in much worse shape long-term, unless Keys or Stephens can get it together.

That’s not even close to right. Cap-tying happens in competitive fixtures (ie - not friendlies). You could play in 1 or 350 and it doesn’t make any difference in terms of cap-tying.

Money. Same reason the Africa Cup of Nations is every two years.

The dumbest part of this story is that, in the 2007 Gold Cup, Guadeloupe played Jocelyn Angloma, who had played 37 times for France in the early ‘90s, and it was absolutely fine.

Lacazette having his goal totals padded by penalties is fine, because Arsenal’s penalty takers, with Cazorla hurt and Arteta retired, are useless.

Obama’s “reign.”

Dempsey came back to MLS when he was 30. At most, you missed out on two seasons of him coming off the bench for Tottenham. Get over yourself.

1) He’s 22.
2) Shut up.

+1 Harvard Reject

Slovenia - US was a 2-2 draw that the US would have won if not for a disallowed goal that was ruled out for no reason. Plus, the US won the group. You remember that poorly.
