Martin Lawrence is a member of the media?

There isn't a place in the world where comments don't get messy - it's the fucking internet. The difference, as someone noted earlier, is that anyone who read the Deadspin comments for more than a post or two would see that there was comedy intended by most commenters. By comparison, I find that most other sites end…

The good news for Joe is that since this debate is taking place on the internet, he will never, ever hear about it.

@Marth: +1, I thought about that too.

This better be the last one.

I was watching the RAI feed on [channelsurfing.net] and while I couldn't see Germany's second goal, Turkey's second goal and Germany's third goal both showed up live.

@Innings Eater: + a zillion

Honestly, anyone who thought that was real, hit yourself over the head a few times. Oh wait, you probably did that before you watched it.

@Matt_T: O AN HE SORRY

Did anyone click all the way through to the Daily Mail story? It looks like Julie Pritchett ate eight members of a baseball team.

@PaulU: Now that's just uncalled for.

The thing that kills me is I've never heard anyone associated with the Cubs team or management talk trash about US Cellular or White Sox fans, and yet here you have Guillen and Danks trashing Wrigley for no good reason and Pierzynski attacking the fans (though you could at least argue that he was provoked). The sweep…

Fucking Cardinals!

I was pulling for Portugal until Ronaldo pretended to get stepped on. I don't care how many goals he scores, that guy's flopping is among the worst I've seen, and it's everything that's annoying about soccer these days. After that I wanted Germany to put them out. And I hate Germany (particularly after 2002).

@Deadspin: "I think I made a pretty good case for GOOOOOLD."

@the-Bored: I couldn't tell anything from the aborted replay on ESPN.com... it looked like he just hit it into the corner, as opposed to there being some big weird kick or something. Maybe it got hung up under something and the right fielder made the mistake of trying to play it as opposed to putting his hands up?

I'm sorry, I can't divulge any information about that customer's secret, illegal account.

@Munsoned: Perhaps, although without the natural enemy of Communism it hardly seems to approach a 1-to-1 - if Russia were Canada, would anyone remember 1980 the same way? I think at this point anything approaching a Miracle on Ice would not be able to happen by the US, at that level (not least because pros play in the…

No one ever roots against anyone in golf (except maybe someone like Rory Sabbatini). I think that has a lot to do with the fact that it's people out there, representing themselves as individuals - you have to have a pretty strong reason to personally dislike someone when they aren't wearing a certain team color that…

Why, I do like baseball. Thank you for asking!
