Careful now there Mike, you keep saying decent or value neutral things about capitalism and Hamilton Nolan will show up to post a 5,000 word screed on how it kills transgendered puppies.

Well, at least its not a poetry quote next to a music note or a kitty. Swipe right.

Well, to be fair to Puti-poo, the line where the Russian government ends and private business begins is quite third world blurry. All big business in Russia is all owned and operated by his allies (if they were not his allies they could not operate big business), this shell game is even more hilarious than the usual…

Given Diaz's gimmick, this is not surprising. Silva though. Oh dear. Sherdog must be exploding, and many a sad face will wipe tears with their Brasil and Spider jerseys.

Well, on the one hand, he did sign an agreement outlining the terms of his continued employment in the NFL and violated them. On the other hand, fuck the NFL. I'm conflicted.

Wait a second, what's that? Good LORD, that's Tim Sherwood's music!

Point. But in my experience, Estonians, Ukrainians, Poles, Latvians and Chechens all do have that bloody gripe. Can't speak for Finns. Most of the Volga Germans still living in Russia that I have met think of themselves as Russians with a curious ye olden times cultural tradition, and regard Stalin's treatment of…

The Uzbek football association is talking with the Korean football sanctioning body about this incident. For what's it worth, the Russian speaking media is portraying this game as a "fight" between both sides and not Uzbeks attacking Koreans. One article even mentioned Uzbeks "retaliating." But nobody seems to…

Mostly off the top of my head, but while I knew South Korea beat Uzbekistan in the Asian Cup, I could not remember the score so I double-checked it. I also could not remember if Stalin deported Soviet Koreans in the 1920s or 1930s. (My first impulse was to say "1937," because if you had to guess when something…

To give some background here: Uzbekistan recently got eliminated from the Asian Cup by South Korea. Uzbekistan actually had a nice nil-nil tie going into extra time, and then gave up two goals. In the lead up to the match, Russian rags did some hot-takes of how the Uzbek team was much better and how they had a…

Brotherhood was awesome.

This. Oh this. Brotherhood was an improvement over ACII, introducing fun mechanics. So when Revelations came out, I picked it up day one and as soon as the intros began and were a mess, I knew I was in a bit of trouble. It was still fun, but it was nowhere near Brotherhood and ACII. That's where the rot began. …

I liked the throw-back eye-glasses glue commercial. At least it was joyful. And Heisenberg was fun. Also, I enjoyed Lohan's appeareance, if only because it took me five seconds to realize it was Lohan and not an actress portraying Lohan. And yeah, I enjoyed Upton's commercial.

This. She's getting paid. Let her. I liked the ad. I like her. I won't buy the game. She didn't harm me or make me feel annoyed. Now that fucking Nationwide ad... that's a diff story.

This. I liked her in the ad, and enjoyed it, but had zero compulsion to buy it.

It was an indefensible terrible call. Also, I do not understand the reasoning behind it. As in, the throw had to be made to burn time off the clock... as in, you are hoping you are making a pass that goes nowhere at a goal line to not score too quickly to not allow your opponent time to score after the fact and…

Wait, does this mean the next Total War will be better or worse? And if worse, like how significantly worse?

Oh man I can't wait until for another shitty Gawker article pointing out how Men are the Worst, with the Gawker Echo Chamber Commenters supporting it. I know, we'll pretend the article is actually a piece of advice, that way we can launch attacks, use anecdotal incidents as blanket evidence and belittle them under a…

The crown is not yours to offer. You haven't had it since 2004.

Your favorite football team got an undrafted OLB. He got a chance to start early in the year due a hamstring injury to the starting ROLB, set tackling records, has amazing ability, is from your home town and runs a non-scam charity. Your team's GM drafted the starting ROLB who got injured. He refuses to believe…
