Fan of neither team, so no skin in the game. Seems like the sort of thing they might have let slide if it had been change-of-possession, but because it was 4th down and the game was still going, he should've got his ass back in the huddle and not a) run 30 yards upfield b) with a teammate and c) performed a…

Oh look. Exhibit A for why NOT to be a soccer fan.

This one's a mixed bag.

On one hand, I'm not sure Jeter is suddenly a pile of monkey crap just because he's got more gray ink than black — OK he only has one batting title, but he was a Top 10 guy in average and hits a LOT in his career. There's value to being very good for a long time. And comparing him with power…

I lean toward over-tipping — I recognize it's a hard job — but it ultimately comes down to communication, or lack thereof. I've had a meal where the food took 45 minutes to come out, but the waiter MANAGED the situation as best he could and tried to provide updates, so I still tipped full 20-25%. On the other hand,…

"As in 'Helsinki, Sweden'..."

The Ravens have always been at war with Eastasia.

I'm really steamed that you would make jokes about something like this.

It's funny that when things were going well, Penn Staters BRAGGED about how Paterno was the real power up there and the entire athletic department basically ran at his whim. Every time some other school got in the news for even the most pissant recruiting violation, we got an earful of how JOE does it the right way...…

The vitriol toward the issue of women in gaming feels like it's grounded in perceptions of loyalty rather than the issue itself. I'm not sure they really care about the substance of the issue. There's a segment of gamers who feel like gaming is THEIR hobby — they spent the money when it wasn't cool, they helped make…

The most immediate thing that leaps to my mind is: isn't it something a nullification of the "all bronies are pedos" mentality that they have their own convention? I mean, if it was as nefarious as some of you all think it is, surely the real "danger" would be if they were going to more mainstream cons where there…

I also wonder if this is part of why Chris Evans has been hinting/saying he's done playing Cap after his current contract runs out.

In the third quarter, touchdowns will be worth 9 points. In the 4th quarter, they'll drop to 4.

If you set team history aside and had a new expansion team decide to name itself after a racial (or other) slur — even if it was an antiquated term people don't use much, even if the people in question don't represent a large portion of the current population — is there a chance in hell it would be approved?

No?

Then…

I assume it's because "Redskins" was generally used as a racial slur (much like the N-bomb) whereas Indians, Braves, et. al. are more generic warrior concepts that are pretty common in sports (Vikings, Rebels, etc.) which... other than maybe a little racism-by-assumption that Native Americans are automatically…

This really is the textbook use for "Cool story, bro", isn't it?

Playoff hockey and regular-season hockey are almost two different games. The Pens were built to win the regular season, but the video-game playmakers and tic-tac-toe passing bog down in the post-season when the refs look past some of the little stuff that would get called in November and let 'em play.

And I'm not…

I don't want to go all Zapruder Film on it, but... OK, yeah I do.

O Cap'n, my Cap'n!

I ran that through the universal translator and got "I'm nosey as hell and I was totally going through his shit, but the fact that I found what I was looking for vindicates me."
