Never date a boxer ladies, they can only use their hands.

There’s no kicking in boxing.

I know a guy who works at Bungie, gotta say he’s not as stressed or short on time as other people I know who work in the industry. He doesn’t disappear for months at a time working on a project like other folks in the industry do. Bungie really does seem to be walking the walk on their talk of no crunch time and I…

That and the headset itself is a problem. Its weight will cause neck strain in frequent/long term use and it looks goofy as hell. If anything I’d say Microsoft’s “Hololens” augmented reality is much more viable and interesting than Oculus or the others.

Okay, fair point, I don’t think the author is stupid or a dime store economist, just maybe not familiar with how MLS functions enough to call it a Ponzi scheme. Basically the expansion fees are a decent-sized but relatively small drop in the bucket for MLS at this point. $200 million sounds like a lot, but if you…

But you didn’t get basic information about MLS correct. Your degree and knowledge of economics are nice, but weighing in on MLS becomes shaky when you don’t even talk about SUM. You also don’t talk about the league’s big successful clubs who (according to ownership) are at least breaking even or even making a profit.

But, quite frankly, that doesn’t mean he understands MLS’s economic situation. The article, for example, completely ignores SUM and its role in obfuscating financial data and bringing in revenue. Almost certainly the vast majority of the league’s revenue is actually through backchannels in SUM.

They go to Europe until they either retire or they’re not good enough to make good salaries in big European leagues then, yes. This happens to every nationality of player though. At the tail end of their career, most players will find themselves in MLS, Liga MX, or some central or south American league if they want to…

Sports teams are always overpriced though. I mean, there’s no way Newcastle United is worth 400 million pounds if you evaluated it as a profit-making enterprise. Owners buy teams for prestige, not profit.

Of course it would, the budget of one of those teams is far higher. Although, I would note there are quite a few relegation battles that resemble MLS more than they resemble the best in the world. Personally, I’d rather watch and root for a team I actually have a connection to, but to each their own.

I often felt that Japanese RPG makers took the wrong lessons from Final Fantasy 7. The makers of Final Fantasy 7 understood that you needed a certain amount of balance between deadly serious fighting and revenge stuff, love story bits (or multiple love stories, really) and weird wackiness. The key thing is, the wacky…

I mean, but you’d kinda like the movie to be something like the books right? At least hit the right tone? The Dark Tower series was this sort of epic psychological horror sci-fi fantasy series and it looks like they haven’t hit any of those notes other than sci-fi fantasy.

I will say that casting McConaughey seems kinda right, as long as he’s trotting out his “weird/evil McConaghey” for this, which he seems to be doing. Elba as the Gunslinger makes a lot of sense to me too. Just sounds like this is a “sequel movie” that doesn’t do the books any justice.

I’m not necessarily survived by the camouflage, we still see camouflage or other survival traits in addition to armor in today’s animals. Armadillos for example, tend to look a bit like a large rock, and they build burrows to avoid predators. Just because you can survive getting bitten by a big predator, doesn’t mean…

And this is why bodycams should be live-streamed and uncensored. Takes any doubt out of the equation.

It’s just kinda sad at this point. Adu doesn’t want to give up chasing his dream, but he’s clearly not talented enough to make it in the big leagues...or the small leagues...or the beer leagues. He’s got the heart, but he doesn’t have the talent, kinda like Billy Haisley.

In other words, he pulled a Trump.

The whole Pacific Northwest is dry as fuck right now. Seattle is less than a week from its all time record for days without measurable rain.

I hope Sunderland go down. Again. They deserve it.

The seat isn’t larger there, you just get a little extra legroom.
