Fantastic piece, Alberto.

Right, a back-heel, followed by a dummy, followed by a well-placed upper-netting finish. Happens all of the time in the men’s game! What nonsense. This is just more chauvinism. I’ve been watching the men’s game at the highest level for three decades, and I am thoroughly enjoying the WWC. These girls can play, esp. the…

The Japanese women’s team is a world treasure. The most technical, most joyful & most adorable team in the tournament. The US should hire the Japanese coach to teach our ladies how to play such a fantastic brand of football/soccer. Just fantastic.

Good point. Didn’t realize this was why Sermanni was let go, but then read your post and this on Fox Soccer:

You suck, guy. You’re not tough, and you’re not clever. You just kind of suck. Both “faggot” and “retard” are offensive. Not cool. Not tough. Not smart. Just offensive. Stop acting like a douche-bag, or fuck off.

I thought that at first as well. If you watch it again, though, I think you’ll see that he is actually feigning to fall over, pretending to avoid her, but is all the while actually trying to interfere with her. This is why he didn’t complain about being kicked out, by the way. If he had merely done what you suggest,…

No one "in" the NFL? That wording sounds like a lawyer's trick, as only players are "in" the NFL. Executives are "at" the NFL or "from" the NFL. But somehow I doubt Goodell is that clever.

Shorts are comfortable, especially in hot and humid climates like here in south Florida. There is a time and place for shorts, and a time and place for pants. There is no time and place, however, for those tired fucking blue jeans you're wearing in that foot race video, or for those lame-ass black sneakers. Tell me,…

Most of these make sense, but Miller High Life is actually pretty decent and PBR is piss —- as is nearly everything else hipsters like. I still like Magic Hat #9, but it is a bit sweet so I could see myself getting tired of it with time.

For me the appeal of this show was that Kelly and Jessie were both hot and flirtatious, and it was easy on the brain after a long day of school.

Brilliant. I know it has already been said, but anyone criticizing Lebron here was clearly never an athlete. Nothing one can do about a bad muscle cramp. This from a Jordan devotee and former Lebron "hater". Idiotic Lebron "haters" may turn me into a Lebron supporter in the same way that idiotic Lebron supporters…

Great piece, except that bit about Updike writing only "inconsequential" novels. "Rabbit, Run" is an American masterpiece and as good a portrait of modern American masculinity as has ever been written. Definitely consequential. Plus I don't like the unintended implication that drinking a lot of booze has something to…

Except that Puig is far more talented than Tebow (at the highest level) and is also more interesting and unique. Tebow is a banality.

Except that Puig has more talent at the highest level and is more interesting and unique. Hence the thoughtful piece above. Tim Tebow is a banality.
