Oh wow that makes for even higher drama that he’ll have white in game 12. If nobody has broken through yet Caruana will have to feel like a boxer down on points that knows he needs a final-round knockout to win.

Yeah you have to wonder if Caruana gets more aggressive in these final four to try and find the win knowing how difficult it would be to beat him in a tie-break. Does he come out swinging with white in game 9 tomorrow, knowing if he stumbles he would still have a chance to get it back in game 11 (assuming he can hold

I randomly think about him sometimes, and this was a few years ago. All I had to give him was a granola bar, a pack of fruit snacks (I’m a large child), a bottle of water, and the rest of a pack of gum, and he still looked me in the eyes and thanked me so sincerely it nearly broke me. It takes a lot to warm my cold

It almost always is just a performance, but one time while I was on the L in Chicago a man got on, probably in his early-to-mid 30s, and made this impassioned but seemingly unrehearsed speech on the Red line during the morning commute. He said he had been in prison for a crime he did not commit, but was forced into

I took it as a nod to the Godfather II, “I know it was you Fredo” kiss. 

Just try to imagine the type of shit she must say all the time in private if her mind deemed that phrase appropriate for a public event that she probably knew was being recorded. 

I once had a student tell me that she learned more history in my literature survey class than she had in high school history class.

You probably have a better jumper than 40% of the Sixers starting lineup. Ben Simmons has the range of a toy walkie-talkie. 

Do we eventually make him maroon when we reach peak redness?

It was the first thing that came to mind when watching that ball sail over in real time. The dude had a historically great career and was crucial in getting Italy to that final in ‘94, but his legacy is set in stone. I hope 24 years from now people are still using the term “Baggio’d”.

You made the excellent point about the parabolic arc of the keeper’s dive, but failed to mention the #1 no-no of taking penalties: Never hit the ball mid-height. This is what dooms Bunbury. His penalty is struck with pace and is headed side-netting or close it, but when you hit it mid-height it’s in the most natural

I understand the sentiment but this rings a bit hollow.

I was on vacation in Northern Michigan and made a Wal-Mart run with my 30-something older brother and our two teenage cousins. We had a bunch of groceries and some booze. I had completely forgotten about this rule and the checkout clerk asked for the IDs of our cousins, which being 15 they didn’t have. The clerk said

I think, like Dwight, he’s so worried about being liked that now he’s trying to manufacture a role for himself as a villain to kind of protect against people hating on him. “I don’t care if some people don’t like me, that’s what I’m going for.”

I think it’s just a harmless and pretty savvy move by him to capitalize on the opportunity to rope Ellen and her 77 million Twitter followers into a plug for the movie he has coming out next month - even throwing in a thirst trap picture as a bonus.  

Yup. This is in Chicago, but I guess a lot of major cities have leagues. The league has 180 people in it at one bar and 120 in another.

It’s crazy how quickly he was able to find a guy who looks that much like Raheem Sterling to shoot this fake video to exonerate himself.

I think shuffleboard is fun as hell, and also I’m in a competitive skeeball league that I love doing, so you will get no judgment from me. Best of luck in your quest for the jacket/windbreaker.
