This year has been kind of bonkers. Right now, the top 4 consists of Leicester City (who seem to keep winning in spite of themselves), Tottenham Hotspur (who, if it wasn’t for Leicester, would also be a big success story), Arsenal (who, in spite of being in 3rd, seem to have a weight of doom and gloom hanging over…

And the thing is, they aren't that old.

First Cruyff, then Shandling? Today is a miserable day for celebrity deaths.

So anybody have any ideas about who those mysterious men in black were that were trying to make sure Frank didn't wake up? My theory is that Frank saw something that could have blown a Hydra op on one of his tours, so Hydra put a hit out on him and his family to keep him quiet. If so, that would be quite the cinematic…

And most crucially they played locally. I still can’t get behind the Thunder.

I grew up in Corvallis when Payton Sr. was playing at OSU, and he was already a local celebrity. Just after he graduated and was drafted by the Sonics, our family moved to Seattle, where he was even bigger. Those Payton/Kemp teams were some of the most fun to watch, and it looks like Payton II has that same flare his…

Itgets even weirder when you have outlets that essentially act as mouthpieces for clubs, like Marca with Real Madrid, where the unsubstantiated rumor is just another tool in the club’s arsenal.

It is because Arsenal fans are a particular brand of obnoxious.

I too have a soft-spot for Sasquatch stories. I don't believe that Sasquatches exist, at least not anymore, though I think the legends have a basis in fact. My hypothesis is that at one time, humans co-existed with hominids like Australopithecus, which led to many of the stories that people told at the time.…

No, trying implies failure. They are succeeding at being racist.

As a ‘Hawks fan, I heartily agree. I think part of this stems from the QB mantra of “When you win, give credit to the offensive line. When you lose, take the blame.” This year, Russell Wilson has been forced to scramble on practically every down, and the fact is that if his line were doing its job, he wouldn’t have to…

Actually, there is only one side: Abuse is wrong. Period. If you think this is “Men vs. Women,” then you’ve missed the point.

This is an excellent point. I think part of the difficulty is that many teenage boys don’t even understand that psychological abuse and manipulation can be just as damaging as physically hitting someone. They justify it to themselves by thinking “Hey, I’m not hitting them, so clearly I’m not abusive.” This is, of…

Yeah, given how entitled we gamers can be as customers, thanks but no thanks.

Don’t particularly care for either team, but I can definitely appreciate some skilled photography. The composition of the shot is striking, and reads like the calm right before the storm, as the action is about to unfold. And yes, the tactically illuminating nature only adds to its value.

Don’t worry about it! It’s a game of skill!

There is no justice in this world.

Also, those drumsticks could feed a full family, and no one would have to fight over it.

I want to go to there...

A classic case of Bastards vs. Assholes. On one side, you have a colossal dick of an owner and an entitled QB. On the other, you have incompetent coaches who are actively endangering said QB’s health in an effort to be able to play their guy. No matter who comes out on top in this struggle, it is going to be a win for…
