And nobody likes Shakespeare anymore because they know what’s going to happen, and so on.

So, basically, this is your version of BDSM, then.

If I were a St. Louis resident, I’d be tempted to lead a mob over to Edward Jones Stadium, equipped with Molotovs and moving vans, torch the place and tell the Rams to GTFO.

Enjoy your relapse.

I’m rooting for them both to fight another 10 years and develop dementia. Both of them deserve nothing less.

Read Jerry Lee’s memoir, co-written with Rick Bragg, that just came out. It’s amazing that he is still alive and performing after everything he went through.

TIL apparently the Paiutes are actually serious about good governance compared to Washington. Then again, considering the Redskins are their team, maybe that makes sense.

Argentinians are laughing at you because other than being good at soccer, male, and born in Argentina, they are the total opposite of each other.

That's the Indy 500. He recently retired from that, but yeah, that's still awkward.

No, this was way worse. It never should have happened, while the slip could have happened to anyone.

Wonder if the Kop will sing that the next time Gerrard plays.

He's retired and busted, so Goodell doesn't give a fuck what happens to him. If he only gets 20 years he'll be lucky.

That's OK, the English teams forgot the Champions League too.

Soccernomics would be a good read, but essentially sports franchises are nowhere near massive companies if you are comparing them to Fortune 500 clubs. A high proportion of those funds go for players, both in wages and in transfer fees.

I understand their point, but that makes me think these owners are totally stupid if they thought that they could maintain the system forever. They heard about Gareth Bale moving for 120 million pounds to Real Madrid, right?

He would then slowly allow MLS to deteriorate, resign as MLS commissioner, and then insist David Moyes be selected to replace him.

The weather is the bigger issue now. I could see us on a Scandinavian schedule where it basically follows the English calendar but takes a portion of the winter months off.

If the players can't get free agency, they should just fuck off to Europe. These owners don't seem to realize that this is not the fucking NFL. I'm a fan of MLS, but I'll do without a season if the owners won't cave.

Most people probably wouldn't, but some might be into it. You never know with people.

And that, kids, is what is called necklacing, for obvious reasons.
