Here’s what I worry about: In any given tournament, we get “The Pinoe game”. She sees the team not playing cohesively, winds up with the ball at her feet a disproportionate amount of time, and single-handedly drags the team out of its rut. Remember Old Trafford in 2012? Without her, Christine Sinclair wins that game…

Soooo, TV timeouts. Currently they’re under 16, 12, 8 and 4 in each half. That’s four commercial breaks. How do they do that with four quarters? Obviously the break betweek 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 are one for each half. Do they do “under 5” in 1 & 3 and “under 7 and under 3” in 2 & 4? Or does women’s basketball drop one media…

This series is like if Pippen and Grant had both gone down for the ‘93 finals and suddenly Jordan’s top sidekick was BJ Armstrong.

Blatt is wearing a suit and making a few substitutions during the games. LeBron James is the head coach of Cleveland Cavaliers.

Greg I’m interested on your take on this. My thinking was that Wambach and Alex Morgan would start up top with Christen Press as sort of a removed striker (Sydney Leroux ridiculously on the bench... imagine how scary the Canadians would be with her). But then I realized that Carli Lloyd’s number 10 role might be sort…

The biggest question in this group is: Does the 3rd place team advance. Whoever finishes third in this group will be good enough to advance in the knockout stage, it would be a shame if only two teams make it out.

Remember that game where Bosnia were taking our lunch money and then Jozy turned into fucking Zeus and we won? And we were all like, “HOLY SHIT JOZY IS FINALLY WHO WE THOUGHT HE COULD BE AND USMNT IS GOING TO RULE!”

I was shocked to see Maruyama, who beat Germany in that quarterfinal, left off the roster. She’s 4 years younger than Sawa and scores in big games.

Wait I thought the Kia Optima could fly off air craft carriers...

+1 for being topical.

I think I’m going to get killed for this, but here it goes:

I like you. You understand that there are no bad dogs.

Note to millennials: Coolio was the world’s top charting rapper in 1995.

He clearly intentionally grabbed Love, but you can’t make the leap that he intentionally separated his shoulder. If Olynyk can be definitively accused of anything it’s being an embarrassingly terrible rebounder for a 7-footer who has to resort to these sorts of stupid maneuvers. I recall Charles Smith doing the same…

As a Bostonian who recalls our awful fans’ awful awful awful reaction when we’ve lost series to Ward and Subban in recent years (as well as the BS Wayne Simmonds has had to deal with) — I can’t help but wonder if this was intended for Ward, though based on distance I imagine it was just thrown at the team line in…

Where to put all the snow became a huge issue, and areas like East Cambridge got these massive front loaders just dumping snow into open areas that wound up getting so tall they had actual avalanches. This winter sucked the most.

Mookie's having quite the day.

I feel like if John Oliver or Jon Stewart were smart one of them would have you on to talk about this. This article, like America is not for Black People, is a great read.

The Pacers and Hawks play at the Knicks and Nets tonight, respectively, which makes sense. However, the Hawks had a home game last night. Did they literally board a charter immediately after the game and players hopped off and went straight to the club?

Remember that time Noah and the Bulls beat LeBron in the playoffs that one time? That time? That time that they won and it was great? No? That never happened? LeBron has played them three times though? And won 4-1 each time? Oh.
