Below that group, clubs like Everton, Tottenham Hotspur, and Newcastle (plus one or two ambitious sides with a little less money to fund their aspirations) earn and spend more money to improve their squads than all but the two or three richest clubs in any other country.

What's your favorite way to score a touchdown?

It's a shame we can only evaluate him based on an injury-shortened season in Ligue 1, instead of, say...scoring more than 50 goals in a far superior league/European competition right before he moved to Monaco.

Is this an act of domestic violence under the new NFL policy? Or does the league's definition not include family violence?

Since it's in California, why not just use a photo of former NWA member Arabian Prince? Problem solved.

Oh. My. Fucking. God. If Musberger permanently loses his voice tonight, the world will be a better place. I'm hoping someone is putting together a supercut of all these "Johnny-s", to see how ridiculously long it is.

I agree, but I think Pardew has made some pretty baffling/dumb lineup decisions the past couple seasons. Worse, he takes the Ashley company line too often ("Who needs transfers when we have guys coming back from injury? That's just like a new signing!")

We have a mediocre Manager in Pardew

The 3 shittiest of the shitt-y? WBA, Burnley, and Sunderland; going down. I think Leicester will surprise this year and Southampton will miraculously save themselves on the last day at the expense of the Mackem bastards.

What ever happened to all the 'bags: FeedBag (haven't seen in too long), Funbag (seemingly rare these days), dime bags (hell, why not)?

"Introducing the new, fiery McBurning Asshole! I'm regrettin' it."

I don't know if I had just lowered my expectations too much or whether I caught my local McDonald's on a really good day, but I got this last week and thought it was fantastic. Easily the best value menu burger I've ever had (not that the competition was very stiff), and even the sauce tasted fine. Would get again.

I won't be surprised if the worst aspects of American sports radio take off there, as most Somalis would kill for a Cow herd.

The ability to automatically block tags/author bylines you don't want to see, personalized for your own profile. So, if I don't want stuff like "VirgilBag", "byline: Sean Newell", or "underexplained lists" to show up on my mainpage, they won't. Although I understand from an advertising standpoint why this is unlikely.

Eh, not at the expense of cluttering things up too much here. When I want scores, I go to a site that specializes in stats and scores, not Deadspin. When I want sports news without access, favor, or discretion, I come here.

Who gives a fuck about an Oxford Comma?

Joey Harrington is still the first one that comes to mind when I see a story about a former Lions player's "sad spiral"

So, Eibar, that tiny Spanish soccer club that miraculously won promotion to La Liga (http://sidespin.kinja.com/basque-minnows…), hit their crowd funding goal to become eligible to play in the top flight. http://www.defiendealeibar.com
