What's worse is that by the fifth he won't even remember having caught it.

Even when he was convincing officials he was fine, he was still staggering around on the sidelines. It is insane that he came back in.

I've been to a lot of Timbers games and almost any time an opposing player hits the turf, fans start screaming about him flopping. Soccer fans know there is plenty of flopping and that it is a problem - we just don't think it's enough of a reason to not watch the sport.

It does when you have to rely on that exchange rate for every transaction, which you have to do when the currency isn't tied to anything else and its exchange rate fluctuates wildly.

Yes - but debt that holds value, because there is a great deal of trust in the notion that the United States government is good for that debt. The alternative means the effective collapse of the US Government, which would destroy the global economy.

God damn man, thank you for being everything I expect from a libertarian.

How else would both the Cleveland fans read it?

If they beat us again and you're pissed, just remember this story and feel better about yourself and where you live.

The worst part about that kind of shit is that it forces the fans to become insufferable pricks instead of decent human beings. There are asshole American football fans that boo injuries too (Oregon), but generally you have to be a piece of shit to boo someone that's hurt. But that's because faked injuries are far…

Praising it because it's an American sport that is growing internationally and thus hopefully displacing the evil foreign soccer is pretty damn xenophobic, yeah.

It's a stupid argument because people aren't restricted to single sports. I'm a fan of soccer, pro and college football, hockey, and to a lesser extent baseball and both pro and college basketball. Yeah, there are times when you have to decide between which game to watch or who's getting more of your money, but it's…

It's not always racism. Sometimes it's just xenophobia.

Yeah, I've kind of hit the point where I'll appreciate anything good, really. That can taking a common style and knocking it out of the park, or tweaking it enough to be a new experience, or making some weird hybrid that is difficult to classify. I think Crux out of Bend, OR just recently won me over on IPAs - I got…

OH! I'm from Nashville, and finally got to go by Yazoo's taproom over Christmas! Their Hop Project varies with each batch, but I think they are pretty hopped up. I didn't get to try one, but their White IPA was decent. Sue is fantastic, and Dos Perros seems to get better every year. I wish I could get that out…

In the food World Cup, Australia gets the bloomin' onion.

Hops add different flavors, and many breweries have moved beyond the race for the IBU. IPAs that aren't over-hopped to the point of being too bitter tend to take on more citrus or floral tastes, like an alternative to Hefes but without tasting wheat.

You found the troll on twitter!

It's nearly impossible to underachieve without expectations.
