For all his talents, and his master's degree in print journalism, Simmons' forte has never been editing. That making him editor-in-chief of a website intended to publish prestige sports journalism might lead to this kind of editorial failing isn't exactly a monstrous shock. That said, he does seem relatively

Yeah, this. Going into more detail with someone local is fine. But if you live halfway across the country and someone asks where you're from, saying "Berwyn, Illinois" or something doesn't give them much information. They'll probably just ask "Oh, is that near Chicago?" anyway.

Northwestern has the best claim to be "Chicago's Big Ten team" because if you live in Chicago and you want to see Big Ten sports, it's far easier to get to Evanston than Champaign (or for that matter Madison and West Lafayette, neither of which is substantially further from Chicago than U of I is). If you want to

That's like an Al Capone's Vault type of thing. Nothing but old Pop Tarts Minis and a single bag of Ruffles?

I love how Tony Gale tries to give Fulham credit for creating the goal, though (perhaps, as a former central defender himself, he was trying to take some of the heat off Kompany). Fulham had one guy in the area and he was never getting to that cross.

At least the second comically embarrassing goal City have allowed this season involving a major defensive gaffe, after losing the game at Chelsea thanks to Hart and Nastasic completely miscommunicating. Fortunately this time it turned out not to matter.

I just can't believe the COMPLETE lack of reaction from that driver. I mean, it's so crazy it probably seemed unreal, and being in Afghanistan might numb you to violence, but really, no "OH MY GOD" or anything?

I've haddock up to here with your carp.

The first C in bicycle isn't a hard C, though. If you spelled it bic, and were consistent with the pronunciation of that from the full word, it would be pronounced like "bice." Which would be weird. In microphone, however, the C is hard, so "mic" when pronounced like the way it's said in the full word is

They're both great names. And I saw some mutton bustin' before Iron Cowboy IV last fall and even the people who put the production on call it "Wool Riders Only."

As has been said, it wasn't even close. And watch Matip at the end: he's looking around, sure there should be an offside flag, then shrugs and smiles when he doesn't see one. Even Schalke's players couldn't believe this was allowed to stand.

The Bears actually did it in back to back seasons - Vasher in 2005, Hester in 2006 - but clearly that was like lightning striking twice.

This is virtually the same exact play as LSU against Kentucky ten years ago or so. Evidently other SEC defensive coordinators learned nothing from the Bluegrass Miracle.

"Vegeta! What does the scanner say about her arousal rating?"

Burn the whole thing to the ground. Why does the NCAA even exist if the only things it can enforce are ones that any idiot can tell are not worth enforcing?

Boy, how long did it take Muskingum to come up with that nickname?

Part of the verses reminds me a bit of Liz Phair's "Why Can't I?"

Not a Tigers fan. And I am accurate, so I will assume your obvious denial means you are an A's fan. And I think you know the rest.

It actually doesn't matter. Rule 3.16 states that if the ball is going to land outside the field of play, the spectators have as much right to it as the fielders. It's only interference if the ball would be coming down in play (a la Jeffrey Maier).

Did he forget how to do the Ron Burgundy voice? I'm almost positive it used to be deeper. Also, MAN he's looking old.
