That might make sense on an individual level, but most businesses tend to expand before they actually have the money to, and budget it on projected growth. In this case, to continue the analogy, MLS would be opening up a bunch of bank accounts because they have a very specific idea of how they are going to fill them.…

I don't think the dilution of quality issue is really that pressing, to be honest. Sure, in the immediate future the expansion franchises may not be great, though I know NYCFC is going to spend a ton, and Orlando City (who have great local support by the way) has been linked with Kaka. But I think the real benefit is…

I've seen a lot of terrible things, believe me, but this guy takes the cake.

Yeah, Barry, you're totally off base here. Hell, the best moment of the whole season was when Carlos Gonzalez stopped to watch his home run off Jose Fernandez, who grinned giantly in reply.

Guy 1: So here's how it's gonna go down. We'll all surround you and you'll pretend to be scared and stuff. Just make sure you meet in the middle of the square at 8 am sharp. Oh, and obviously don't tell anyone.

Now you do it. Goddammit. I'm up here, Mr. McNabb, not down and to the right. We're not leaving until we get this right.

Chains in Russia have had the most success when they really try to relate to the local people.

If you think that's bad, consider that the Astros didn't even bother to spell out the names of their lineup's #8 hitters.

Of course he's not fucking around. The Yankees are a well-run franchise with strong leadership from the top down, so Tanaka will respectfully bide his time until he's finished his next two starts.

If you're a FSU fan this morning you're probably breathing a huge sigh of relief. Outside of the one athletic department administrator who may or may not have forwarded the information about the arrest to the school's administration, FSU comes out pretty clean in this investigation. There's no record that they impeded…

In order to maintain a semblance of her childhood while touring, Lorde's camp includes 3,000 infantry, 150 armored cavalry, a dozen trebuchets, and a phalanx of Hoplites.

No worries. Gonna dismiss though!

That is the opposite of what is the point.

To be fair to the NCAA, they ceased payment to Perez immediately once they discovered she was a professional asshole.

And to think this all could have been avoided if USA Today had published the interview in the paper instead of making it a podcast.

If you're publishing a recipe that you know serves six, will you officially tell your editors to put down four?

Actually, no. Shockingly.

I do not.
