Is he only on Sunderland because they are bad or is he their one star? Just looking for some perspective on how the USMNT stars are perceived by the clubs in Europe; if they're the main attraction or just good enough to be a piece of the puzzle on a crappy team.

That's such a dumb quote today. The motor racing Hemingway called a "sport" looks nothing like it does today; it'd probably fall under "game" with how safe and sanitized it's become. And that's a good thing.

Cars at Speed for your vintage racing fix

This is honestly the only thing that needs to be said

Increased risk of death adds nothing to the athlete argument. Its a stupid point and irrelevant. Of course drivers are athletes, bringing up death makes those that wouldn't grant drivers the label of "athlete" another out, "adrenaline junkies". You can argue all day about risk in different sports and how it shapes the…

Small trucks like the Ranger are great and totally right for a virtually all people that think they need a pickup. That said, if they axe the manual transmission it isn't the end of the world, especially for the people that are getting in and out all day in their work gear.

To be fair, there are way more people that aren't Pats fans

I've noticed a lot of receivers playing for the penalty instead of the ball, cutting off routes early and quitting on the play while gesturing at the ref. Decker seems to do it often and Smith (I think) got one last night when he held the defenders arm on him, the ref calling the defender for holding. It's very…

“They’ve never played,” he added, “but they can go to the owners and produce charts and graphs, and the owners don’t know any better.”

The key is to purchase in the winter for Spring, once the weather gets nice people want a fun car to take out on weekends. When winter hits they (or their wife), realize they cannot keep the car through the winter. Now, in warm climates that gets thrown out the window but in the Northeast US you can absolutely find…

I bought mine in December for $3200. 91, 5 speed, 95k miles, no out of the ordinary rust. There's plenty out there.

Your autoplay vine destroyed my mobile browser. Can't read on toilet. UGGGHHHHH KILLING ME.

I like you.

Raph, this was awesome, where did you hear about this event/are there more coming up? I'm stuck in Mass and need something to do...
