I feel like I am not doing a great job of capturing, in words, the dread that this produces in me. Across the room, one of my dogs is licking its asshole with intense fervor; it is making sounds like the stirring of a pot of macaroni and cheese. Also, large bees are thumping loudly off the glass of the window with…

I saw the Pulitzer nods and my first thought upon seeing Peggy Norman awarded was “I wonder what HamNo thinks?”

Think of affiliates like franchisees, in a way. Reputation/name-recognition would be hard to build on its own and so they pay to license the ESPN brand. Being an “ESPN” beat reporter sounds better than being a GKB reporter, even though it’s GKB who cuts the pay checks at the end of the day (er, pay period).

I wonder how Shep McAlister, the Kinja deals guy, feels about this post.

I did work-study for admissions one semester. The number of application essays that students write which are all more or less the same (custom-tailored to each’s particular life experience of course) is at first eye-opening (especially when you I realize you I wrote the same type of mundane essay, thinking it was…

These are fair rebuttal points. If I recall correctly, Klinsmann was focused on changing the US’ youth development program since the whole pay-to-play thing is the nefarious roadblock you describe, and likely will continue to hamper US soccer development for the foreseeable future.

Amen. If soccer talent were randomly distributed, the US’ population alone (4x that of Germany) should predict more global stars even in spite of the competing appeals of other more lucrative American sports leagues (as though Pulisic could somehow become an NBA or NFL star/starter).

Help me out here, folks. What’s the advantage in trading in a normal outlet for USB ones when I can just use a adapter (e.g. the cube that comes with iPhones)?

I think it depends not only on fabric/construction quality, but your appliances as well. You may just have always had gentle appliances.

All the dorks here pointing out that they’re adults who wear suits to the office apparently never spend weekends outdoors nor have heard of Patagonia.

I also wear a suit to the office.

I also wear a suit to the office.

I used to hate this guy but the way he got shafted out of SF made me keep an open mind. Now, I can’t get enough of his antics.

Underrated comment.

IDK if Ireland is so relaxing.

That’s actually why I think Immelt changed the story since Trump famously loves boasting about/inflating his wealth and Immelt’s well aware of this. That’s CEO level kissass-ery right there.

Yet another reason to navratilova Aussie tennis player.

I thought Bannon looked healthier than usual on Saturday.

Ditto. I couldn’t live in WeHo or Mid-City merely because it’s in the middle of LA’s unintentional “loop,” equidistant from the 10, 405, and 110/101. So you’re basically just sitting in traffic on Santa Monica Blvd. Makes no sense.

No, and I also think hindsight is 20-20. How many times has Mike McCarthy (or, basically, anyone else) been skewered for taking GB’s offensive foot off their opponents’ necks after going up big?

I...I don’t really need to explain “small sample size bias” here, do I?
