Fair point

St. Mary’s. And they play in a conference that is designed for the same two teams to get a bid to the dance every year, regardless of the tourney winner. The entire conference tourney is played in those teams’ backyards - St. Mary’s and Gonzaga. Shame for Pepperdine to never host.

Well played. H*ck yes.

Gretzky was an outlier in that he never fought (in that era). Plenty of the other skill players of the 80s dropped the mitts. Then the game got too fast for the guys who could barely skate but could mix it up (Peter Worrell, we hardly knew ye) and the league tried to really crack down on fighting.

It really does police…

This is on my list of things to see, in all honesty. I’m just hoping that the picnic style of a stage race will translate to the fun. Namely, I want to be drunk watching the Madison.

That’s where the mountain time trial on a nice day is key. Six hours of meat, cheese, bread, and booze? Sign. Me. Up. Also, the local farmers didn’t mind us peeing in their trees.

Cycling time trial in the mountains is my number one choice:

1) Picnic in the mountains
2) Everyone has beer, wine, and booze.
3) Bonus points for being in a part of the world where meats, cheeses, and breads are plentiful and cheap
4) Make friends with people speaking all sorts of languages (where the common tongue is…

Sky also plays a good formula of not going for any jersey but the Grand Tour general classification kit. KoM, Points, Youth - none of that matters an iota.

That team is stocked with elite climbers only, and fed with a butt ton of data. Every inch of every stage is perfectly planned and scouted. They came to win in the…

This year’s Tour actually saw them close to cracking when they lost a rider to injury. If you saw them in the Vuelta, you saw the ENTIRE team lose it and look like Sunday riders at the same time. They are trained to climb in the Alps, full stop. They can do nothing else, but damn are they good at climbing in the Alps.

Don’t even need to read the article to know the answer: Because they’re the friggin Washington Redskins, and only know how to wring utter failure from the washcloth of possible success.

This was in no way a publicity stunt by a fledgling NHL team as part of the first wave of expansion into non-hockey markets.

For women’s soccer, there is only one legit league - Sweden. It’s where the stars all go to play. The pay isn’t great, but it’s a supported league with a fan base.

You see massive social media runs on Iceland trips because everyone gets the same damn Groupon that’s only good for a couple of weeks total.

Go on your own, rent a car, and tool around getting lost in weird places. It’s great. Note: took my girlfriend, got us stuck in a 2 foot snow drift, had a multinational team of…

Nope. Way too little meat for it to be worthwhile. Might as well eat a pigeon.

But the lamb? Holy good fucking god. Orgasmic.

IcelandAir started this after the total financial collapse - it was a plan to bring in massive amounts of foreign capital to the country.

It worked.

Emile Heskey is livid that this fame passed him by.

*cough* Keating Five *cough*

Fly intra-Euro airlines. Then fly intra-American airlines. You will be at the Delta counter with torches and pitchforks within the fortnight.

I cannot wait for the spicy takes from the Baltimore Afro-American sports columnists.

Looks like I’m making a purchase for this upcoming softball season!
