Also, can we just talk a bit about how wonderful it is that Peter Gregory calls buns "breadings?"

Oh that ship had sailed by that point.
Talent dilution was a larger concern in the early days, when teams largely obtained new talent through the superdraft, collecting college players. The difficulty with using colleges to develop new players was that, by the time they were seniors, the bulk of their good developmental years were already done, without…
It was a dark time in my life.
But really, are we that surprised? Silicon Valley has long been a haven of libertarian politics for some time. Look at a guy like Larry Ellison and tell me that that mofo doesn't see himself as the protagonist of an Ayn Rand novel. Go to any hacker convention, and you can't swing a dead baby without braining a Ron…
Massive City are infamous for being generally shitty, though. They generally have a bone to pick any time a new team comes into the league, and want everybody to respect them, even though this year is the first time in five years they have been relevant. Hell, they almost blew up the American Outlaws over a scuffle…
Having been to a fair number of PAXs, though, the shift is a real thing. I first attended in '08. That year, the vast majority of booths featured playable demos, and most of the big publishers were giving out shirts to anyone who stopped by. Often times, the developers themselves would be there to walk you through the…
It's an opinion piece. The author makes that abundantly clear. This is the author laying his cards on the table. He says this is why he isn't going to PAX this year, not that you shouldn't go, either. Fact of the matter is that nobody is truly impartial and unbiased. That's just human nature. Anyone who says otherwise…
It wouldn't surprise me, since Dortmund's roster is essentially Bayern's shopping list.
Good play by Reus, there. I think this kid's ceiling is incredibly high.
"Why are you telling me all of this?"
"Because. They'll never believe you."
Note the complete absence of Hitchcock in this episode. I bet it's Hitchcock.
Terry came here to learn the Japanese language and culture, but has learned only heartbreak!
They were Home Alone Face!
I've always hated the notion that a man can only be friends with a woman if he wants to have sex with her, because it just doesn't jibe with my experiences. It reduces men to sex-crazed animals, and women to the objects of their gaze. That's why I love it when shows go the other way on this and show adult heterosexual…
I like…pie?
I must be even worse at parties than I originally thought! I fall into no less than 12 of those categories. (hangs head in shame)
Of the guys brought in over the summer, I would say that Christian Eriksen is the most likely survivor of a summer cull. Lamela, Paulinho, Soldado, and Chadli are the ones I would pin on being actively shipped, while Johnny Verts and Hugo are likely to seek greener pastures on their own.
Also interesting is the way Slade lies about his past, specifically about the fact that he has children…COMIC NERDS!!! YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS, RIGHT?!?
