Ah, but since they were playing in Philly they actually could not have done so.

I found the finale to be frustrating for many of the same reasons that I found the entire season to be frustrating: characters’ goals and motivations are ill-defined, things are “revealed” suddenly with no buildup in the plot for the sake of a shock (looking at you, Stubbs!), the story is told in a deliberately…

WOW. I was not expecting an “actually genocide is good” take in the comments, but here we are. I’m impressed. +1 just on audacity alone.

And here I thought Barstool was actually smart and subversive and I was just too dumb to notice. At least that’s what all the fucking morons who came out of the woodwork when Deadspin wrote about PFTcommenter told me.

I hear they make great umbrellas for backyard apartment patios too. Also willing to travel for ski weekends.

For sure. In the other leagues teams with good scouting networks can find diamonds in the rough with like the 165th pick. 

I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen someone who had such a bad case of resting “I want to speak to your manager” face.

Unfortunately for your plan to fix car-buying, dealers have a cartel that rigs state laws and regulations in their favor, and those motherfuckers are vicious about anything that might change the way they do business.

I had this game up on my computer at work (deeply appreciate having two monitors at times like this), only I got pulled away from my desk for all of the goals but Ronaldo’s second. Of the like 65 minutes that I watched I somehow only caught 1 out of fucking 6 goals.

Hey don’t worry man, I’m sure Sandy will take 3 or 4 of the worst prospects in the Yankees’ system in exchange for deGrom at the trade deadline.

When multiple countries host, does that just mean that their region loses 2 of the spots that are available through qualification? I mean, I’m sure this question was answered when Japan and South Korea joint hosted, but it seems to me like this means CONCACAF qualifying is going to only produce like 1 or 2 teams that…

Spanish is definitely the right answer, but to your question of putting together a 23-man squad from the rest of the world combined I think it’s either even or the all-Spanish team at a slight disadvantage. Don’t have the time to actually try to put together a squad right now (though maybe later tonight over a…

It’s always weird to me when either Mourinho or Deschamps tries to get Pogba to play a disciplined, tactical role. He’s visibly bored doing it and is barely above replacement level for the role, whereas when he’s given freedom to just go nuts and do what he wants to do he’s one of the best midfielders in the world.…

I’d seriously dispute your first statement. Putting aside the specifics of this case, the problems of mass incarceration go well beyond low-level, nonviolent offenses. I think that certainly among the general public there’s a misconception that mass incarceration and overly punitive sentences can be fixed by just…

I don’t think anyone is saying let’s pity the poor baseball players though, just that the second game of that doubleheader is more likely than not going to be some dogshit baseball. From a fan’s perspective of wanting to see teams match up against each other at their best (let’s pretend the Orioles’ best is actually…

Eh, I think the argument is less about position players (although if you had to work until midnight, immediately board a flight, maybe get 3-4 hours of sleep, and then go back to work for a double-shift, your performance would suffer no matter what career you’re in) and more about relief pitchers. As someone else…

100% agree. Do away with video replays and deal with the inevitable “but what happens in games where the refs suck?” questions by having stricter post-game reviews of a ref’s performance with stronger sanctions when they badly fuck up.

Batman & Robin is an objectively bad movie, but I do think it fails in interesting enough ways that it can actually be a fun (or at least fascinating) watch. I also think that Hollywood over-learned the lessons of this movie and stayed away from bright colors and a sense of humor in superhero movies for a very long…

I have to say, this is easily in my top 5 all-time TV shows (maybe a contender for #1), but trying to make New York look like DC is one thing that they consistently failed at. Most of the outdoor scenes are so obviously Brooklyn that my wife and I made a game out of figuring out which neighborhood they had filmed the…

In fairness, Real Madrid fans are ungrateful assholes so I can totally see them booing him/calling for him to be fired if Madrid are like, 8 points out from first at Christmas.
