The frozen juice boxes is a good tip. Thanks. Wish I had that 5 days ago. We just did a 27 hr trip (layovers, airport wait time included). All in all, pretty smooth. But we are just beyond diapers and bassinets, so it’s a little easier.

I’ll add:

I have. I started to change a diaper in the aisle at the very back. Snotty flight attendant said ‘Sir, you CANNOT change your baby in the aisle.’ I told him there’s no changing table. He repeated himself. I ignored him. Flying with kids can range from ‘not so awful’ to ‘pretty awful’. That flight was pretty awful.

Hell, I even like the first brother-in-law Craig Robinson. NCAA coach and commentator? Soooo much better than Roger Clinton or Jeb Bush.

People are a little freaked out that he’s leaving the White House on this thread.

That’s nothing compared to Israeli first division club Beitar Jerusalem. They have a consistent pattern of racist chants and are the only team in Israeli history to not have ever had an Arab player.

Oakland at #4. Even Oakland residents are like, “That can’t be right.”

I actually like this more than most things Mr. Haisley writes, seeing as I’m an MLS fan and he... isn’t. I did take issue with this paragraph:

Me too. I keep hoping something will happen in a video game worthy of Highlight Reel. Nothin’ yet.

Not just the Republicans.

Sports websites do season previews or reporting on soccer. Deadspin throws up some snarky insults with the thinnest amount of research on some players.

This. x1000. Well said.

Billy doesn’t work the night shift. He’s busy composing a 5000 hagiography to Barcelona’s latest win. Again.

Internal NFL Memo

It’s amazingly fucked up that ‘college students won’t get diplomas’ ‘state employees won’t be paid’ and ‘university classes will be cancelled indefinitely’ will cause voters to shrug. But threaten LSU football and the world almost certainly will TAKE ACTION. I don’t even know what to say about that, and what it says…

I read it as ‘these insufferable obnoxious assholes pulled one over on these slightly less obnoxious assholes’ . But maybe I added that context in my head.

The only way to get to Carson is on the most congested freeway on the planet, the 405. There is no public transit, and now with an NFL team able to charge $50 for parking, there never will be. Inglewood is a dump too, but had the Forum and is getting a light rail line.

The only right move was expansion. Taking away somebody’s team and giving it to somebody else is just awful. Everything the NFL does, though is really just different degrees of awful.

This whole meeting sounds like a nightmare. 30 unlikeable boys in a room trying to shmooze. Like a junior high dance.

Albert, this was great, albeit much shorter than your destructions of Jindal and Huckabee. Is it because these vapid sub-morons aren’t worth belaboring extensively, or is there something else going on?
