I've been waiting for this announcement as soon as I heard FIFA awarded Fox the TV rights for 2026 WC without a bidding process. And people think the NFL and NCAA are shady, they got nothing on FIFA.

" I always try to finish a beer when she's exactly halfway done with hers; drinking blind means we sometimes accidentally sync up, and it's a lot harder to subtly extend the evening if we both run dry at the same time."

Two guys who talk about sports for 3 hours a day fighting over how hard they work, this is amazing.

I am by no means a Pats fan but I also read Barry's article earlier today and had pretty much the exact same reaction to his bat-shit crazy theory. Can someone queue up last years Super Bowl for Barry, I think that pretty accurately sums up why I anyone would want Brady over Manning. Montana and Young played in a…

Dare I say Arsenal-esque

Have you all watched the GoT trailer 20 times yet?

Sauce?

I think you may have completely missed the point. It's not about this one isolated instance, it is the fact that Rosicky looks to have a go, even if it is outside the 18, something many of the other Arsenal midfields just don't do. But thank you for your analysis of what makes for the perfect volley set up, you must…

I've always loved Rosicky's ability and willingness to shoot the ball from more than 5 yards out. Something that distinguishes him from the other 32 technically gifted attacking midfielders in the Arsenal squad. Save maybe Cazorla I doubt any other Arsenal midfielder would have attempted that volley vs. Brighton or…

Cool and good

The suits need way more buttons.

Good to see you back on the footy beat instead of writing about some nonsense sport where coke heads try to kill each other.

Looks a bit like a La Liga level dive in slow mo.

Have you done any reviews of non-bottled/canned beers, specifically, cask conditioned ales? I know they are a little harder to come by but I know a few good bars in NYC have a decent rotation of stuff on cask. I just got back from a trip to England and didn't touch a carbonated beer the entire trip and it was glorious.

The Harden block was the definition of cool and good. His eyes are on the ball the entire play, as soon as he realizes it is going out of bounds and he can't make a play on the ball he walks off like the bad bad man he is, without so much as a glance in Harden's sprawled out direction. If some clown like Dwight Howard…

79 Beast rating? Clearly someone made an error and transposed those numbers.

Can someone clear this up with a chart and calendar please.

Hey, let us not forget his 15 minutes for avoiding an indictment on securities fraud by a US attorney who just happen to then receive a multi-million dollar federal monitoring contract by Cowboy loving brother Chris.

The best from the Observer article "Even if this working-class kid had somehow started with $100,000 as a high school freshman on day one at Stuy High, he'd have needed to average a compounded annualized return of something like 796 percent over the three years since. C'mon, man." 796% return, not too shabby

I have a bottle of last years DFH 120 in the cellar, and I was thinking about picking up a fresh bottle of this years batch to do a side by side. I know they strive for some consistency but each years batch of 120 changes a bit in my experiences, do you think it's still worth the side by side?
