Who's 'we' Kemosabe?

They only said they lost the ball. Nobody *really* likes soccer.

The soccer gods decreed that Merkins — who don't really like this futbol gaming — would witness one of the most dramatic goals in World Cup history. Being Merkins, they would feel the incredible moment in their black souls as "anti-climatic."

Nope. He REALLY doesn't like people who attend soccer games.

I'm going to post that centerpiece on Throwback Thursday.

WASHINGTON SKINHEADS

That and John Starks.

Thank you for admitting upfront about being honest. My life is edified.

Yeah, I was trying to watch the Knicks-Rockets game at an oyster bar in San Francisco. The sound was off, nobody was watching the teevee except me, and they put the OJ chase on the main screen and the game in the little inset box. When I asked the bartender if he would switch it he called me a drama queen. Damn…

Sky Sports coverage was excellent. One announcer was a Brit desperate to make U.S.-based puns (On showing a fan's fat face: "That fellow's mouth is as wide as the Missouri. (Perhaps I ought have said 'Mississippi'.)" The other guy was an excitable Scot who sounded like James Doohan when shit goes south in engineering.

I think MLB endorses this kind of thing because even it understands that these childish outbursts are often the only interesting things that happen in a baseball game. Not for nothing but Deadspin concern trolling the 'unwritten rules' is starting to be as unctuous as the jackasses who defend them.

Obi-Wan must be a Sith, absolutely.

Maybe, but I think they already decided to name their team the Koch Smokers.

Boy Howdy. I learned that the hard way. The very hard way.

Gold is a soft metal. Cotto's arms are made of unobtanium.

May I ask a non-FIFA question? What's it going to take for Dan Snyder to change the name of the damn team already?

Your average baseball game lasts about four hours and it seems like six. On those rare occasions when something interesting happens, Deadspin concern-trolls the players and, really, sounds not much different than the dinguses who "respect the game."

I believe that the simpleton who is killing beetles indiscriminately is either a marker for God(s) or G.R.R. Martin (which amounts to the same thing). Tyrion is us, the (reader) audience, wondering what all this death is supposed to mean.
