Very lucky he himself wasn’t murdered then.  So lucky.

Never thought I’d get to say this on Deadspin but here goes:

I feel like I’m reading the rulebook to Baseketball.

Intentional foul = 2 technical free throws + possession. Done.

I don’t like Neymar’s antics, always diving and rolling around exaggerating contact. But those 3 fouls in a row were heinous. Did the guy even get a yellow for that nonsense?

Is it really a prediction when anybody who has watched Andy Reid over the years knows that he won’t call the TO?

“Let the players decide the game” is such BS. It implies that rules infractions should be ignored toward the end of the game. If anything, rules should matter more toward the end when the margins are increasingly slim.

The really damning stuff is much harder to prove, but with Schiff in charge of things now instead of the head-in-the-sand Repubs, even the really awful stuff could come to light.

Stupidgate for short.

At the end of the 2nd clip it was clear Sabalenka had no answers when she shrugged helplessly at Anisimova’s perfect return.

Eh... Anisimova, Sabalenka, what’s the difference?

Every part of your body that can legally be used to score a goal, so your arms don’t count but everything else does.

Looking at Thomas Hoskins’s analysis, how is it that nobody knows how to factor in the angle when evaluating video stills? The first photo he referred to looks very probably offside at the very least, although you can’t know for sure given how tight it is and the offset from a straight-on view, yet he claims “there is…

This is a perfect comment that is a microcosm of the state of “debate” today.  It’s all about extremes--there’s no common ground, no compromise, no meeting each other half way.  If you’re not this then you’re that, and never the twain shall meet.

A great pass requires a capable recipient. Without Suarez’s movement without the ball and awareness there would be nobody to receive the pass and it eventually would have gone out of play and looked dumb instead.

That would have been some delicious schadenfreude, but apparently Robbie isn’t as petty as I would be in his situation.

Our Christmas decorations aren’t even taken down yet, so that’s fair.

You’re watching that Christmas movie more than a week late.

Manny Diaz is a pretty scummy dude.  I would feel sorry for Temple, but they dug their own grave and should have known better.

Oldie but (or should that be “thus”?) goodie.
