There were 3 unmarked Pachuca players that had a shot at that ball so I’m not sure that even mattered in not accounting for him. #27 was free but it was a bit over him, and then the keeper just plain jumped in front of wide open #15, but definitely for the best because as you mentioned his run-up put a huge amount of…

No I definitely agree and we know that police departments are almost always willing to help out when football is involved, so there is no doubt the Raiders have received some assurance in this matter. I was speaking more to the “unless he’s a sociopath or a quick study in how to produce a false negative” part.

Someone who commits a rape/sexual assault may feel like they did nothing wrong and that there was no sort of unwanted sexual contact involved. So if they asked him, “Did you have sex with her?”. “Yes”. “Was that sex consensual?” “Yes.” Even if the polygraph was accurate, in that case he would have passed the test…

Let’s go!

Originally poster did say Olympic Swimming Pool...which is less than 7 feet deep apparently. If you jumped so you landed flat on your back into the pool of crumpled bills wouldn’t they eventually compress to the point where it’d prevent you from hitting the bottom? But would that compression happen in a way it would…

He does say you just have to survive the jump. So I’m thinking full wet-suit and mask or even a hazmat suit. You’re wearing a harness too so you just get pulled out once you complete the jump. Bonus: You don’t even contaminate the whiskey with the aforementioned taint butter!

Bryce Harper and Paul George to Philly! Now the Eagles just need to trade their 1st round pick this year and like a 5th rounder next year to trade up with the Browns and draft Myles Garrett. Then the Flyers should kick the tires on McDavid or Matthews and get one or both of those guys. Philly is back! 

I definitely agree that there can be unintended negative consequences of specific stat performance incentives, but in this case we’re talking about a career sub-30% 3-point shooter (before this season). So either he’s just a below-average shooter or he takes bad shots. But dangle that half-million dollar carrot in…

Pedantic, but the Wings won in 6 games in 2008 against the Pens thanks to a last-second save by Osgood. They lost in 7 in 2009 against the Pens thanks to a last-second save by Fleury. God I wish that 2009 one would have ended differently, but those were great series to watch.

“YOU beat Kevin down Cherry Hill??”

Ha mine was 4 years older than me. When I was 15 we were visiting family in California, and I called shotgun in my cousin’s car. He shoves me out of the way and says, “I’m taking it.” I shove him back and he turns around to face me and I notice for the first time (he’d been away at college) that we’re now the same…

What stands out to you that you only lost once. But I can promise you, as someone with an older brother, that one win meant more to your little bro than all of your victories combined did to you.

When reached for comment, Duquette made sure to state that he thought Adam Jones was “a real class act”.

In the U.S. the leagues actually do cap their wages. It is done to differing degrees among the leagues. Some leagues have a soft cap where it’s just more punitive to go over the cap. But those caps have as much to do with the billionaire owners not wanting to shell out more to the players as they do with achieving a…

If a man and a woman are, let’s say, both lawyers at the same firm, do the same work, bring in the same amount of business, they should absolutely be paid the same. But when it comes to professional sports, that same argument cannot be made. For an example, the NBA generates billions in revenue every year. The WNBA…

Watching this game on tv live, nobody was ready for the cut to McCarty pummeling Lemieux because everybody was still trying to wrap our minds around the fact that fucking Igor Larionov was fighting. This will always be one of my greatest sports memories.

The S4 is a trooper, but with smartphones what always happens is the battery starts to hold less of a charge and drain much faster over time. This is a huge issue with phones with an internal battery because it becomes such a hassle to charge it all the time, and eventually you break down and buy a new one. But the S4…

I often wonder how much more wealthy I’d have to be before I’d start considering flying first class, and I just can’t fathom it at any number. The price difference between first class and economy from Chicago to L.A. is like $900 ONE WAY. That’s a 4-hour flight. Many entire families don’t make that much money in a…

Life is wayyy too short and precious for store-brand mustard.
