“so if I see you ever using this again in your so-called writing I am going to literally strip you of your writing privileges by having you run over in a race car driven by a cougar.”

“... can take solace in the strength of his returning offensive line.

“Seems like a very all-or-nothing take.”

This is a reasonable take, and not at all the ravings of a typical myopic and insecure college football fan. Please go to Vegas and bet on your beliefs.

Huh. I looked back at both of those links just now, and neither are as bad as I expected from the headlines. Franklin appears to have lied about having seeing the video so he could yell at the team (I expected the opposite — that he saw it and said he didn’t). And he reached out to the victim as some kind of support…

Or, you know, let LA pay for the team and host it. Drive up there a few times a year, keep cheering for the team, and keep your millions in your city.

Damn — I love this song.

Nice.

Well, sure, but that’s because you’re comparing a short tournament of the world’s best teams to a sport generally. Try to compare full seasons and, well, just check out your average attendance and TV numbers.

I’ve see the incident discussed on a few sport sites now, and I’m always surprised that all we have is a second hand phone video version of it.

I really wish people wouldn’t constantly evaluate my performance at my $3 M a year job.

Still trying to work up that credibility, eh Leslie?

I might be missing some sarcasm here, but there’s a gushing profile of Wambach on that same platform within the last year.

I can’t even imagine the sartorial pressures on a Dr. Batman.

This is one of those things that people say but don’t really believe.

“In fact, if you’re a dad, most sartorial rules don’t apply.”

On the other hand, Leslie Horn doesn’t even know who Ed Sheeran is.

It’s a crazy ride. I keep coming back to the number +10. That was the Ducks mediocre goal-differential on the season. So they earned every bit of skepticism.

It’s just there briefly, but good to see that he does the leaning-on-one-arm-against-the-shower-wall-contemplating-his-tough-life move. Excellent move.
