I'm taking "The World".

If Machado wasn't the single most "I take offense to everything" player in MLB, he would be the absolute 1-A most wonderful player to watch alongside Puig.

If a handful of Bostonians didn't feel the need to start their days suicidally on the way in to work, the Dennis & Callahan show wouldn't exist.

People fall like this every year, be they defending champion or an anonymous domestique. The Tour is not discerning in this regard.

I mean, cobbles are kind of the last place you want any bike, but why do you think Ti in particular? I know a guy who does Roubaix recon in the days leading up to Paris-Roubaix every year on his Ti frame.

Yup. They are the worst.

These are the same guys who were suspended for likening black city students to escaped primates. I'm pretty sure we can consider anything they say completely worthless.

I hate to make this less fun, but are we sure he wasn't just saying something that would be the rough equivalent of "busted my ass on that play", and it looks hilarious when translated literally?

When the 15-man group, led by Nibali, rode in at the end of stage 2 and Schleck was nowhere to be found, I think everyone (who hadn't already) finally realized it was time to give up on Andy. Ever since Cadel Evans destroyed him in the 2011 TT, he's been nowhere near the top among GC riders.

I'm curious what OPQS does now, since they were gunning for the green jersey more than yellow. My guess is that Renshaw will continue to do leadouts and either Petacchi or Boonen will be the one they try and set up for stage wins.

It would be way, way off because of the influx of players who weren't expected to don our colors back then. There was no indication in 2010 that Mix Diskerud, Julian Green (who was 14), Fabian Johnson, John Brooks or Aron Johannsson would play for the US.

The worst thing about my day is the inability to un-read this.

This is scary, this looks like someone in the middle of a stroke. I hope they took her straight to a hospital.

We need to accept, at this point, that Deadspin feel compelled to be the biggest LeBron apologists on the face of the earth.

+1, I think they'd benefit from the long-spaced pinstripes of the old Hornets.

Barry, any update on the fan he injured?

CONCACAF has done itself proud so far.

"The Linc" has hosted matches for the 1999 and 2003 Women's World Cups.

Hah, that's a USA cycling jersey (fitting being that it's Portland).

Can we get some footage of that Pepe red?
