Totally disagree - serving/volleying going the way of midrange jumpers has led to much longer rallies since it’s become such a baseline game. In my opinion, women’s tennis’ lack of consistent, title-contending stars with visually contrasting games makes it harder to be invested in most of the matches. There are also a…

I would go so far to say that in many aspects, the women’s World Cup is more entertaining. As someone who enjoys, but doesn’t closely follow the game, the number of and over-dramatic nature of flops seems to be quite a bit lower when women are playing.

@jimZ. If you are really calling someone a tone-deaf, rich asshole for owning a USED Corvette, then maybe you should re-evaluate your life decisions. Not to sound harsh, but the Corvette has always been the working man’s sports car, and if you are getting so bent out of shape about some other kid having one, a used…

UU is a Bills fan, so I already know his password:

Well, it helped that they transferred to the Modern League.

Would that be the one that said “Giants 6, Cardinals 3”?

Are you trying to start another war with Jezebel?

I’ve debated with people that Kerry Wood’s 20K game was most likely one of the best pitched games of all-time (game score of 105, the current 9-inning record), and some say any perfect game is better because Wood allowed 2 baserunners (1 questionable hit/error and 1 HBP). A perfect game is indeed pretty excellent, but…

I was a combat engineer in the Marines and, morbid as it may be, if an area/vehicle had a high probability of containing explosives then the standing order was to clear the area of civilians and blow it in place before approaching on foot. I can’t speak for the procedures of this particular department, but I do have…

Except that there are quite a few 1st world countries (Finland, e.g.) where public ownership of automatic weapons is legal, and one (Switzerland) where practically everyone has an AUG above their mantle. (The saying goes, Switzerland doesn’t HAVE an army, Switzerland IS and army.) The story of US crime is the story of…

It’s much further down than the oh-so clever “Murica” comment tossed around here with such regularity that it’s often used in Gawker/Jalopnik headlines.

Sport shooting is a hobby.

Of course I’m talking out of my ass. I’M AN INTERNET COMMENTER WITH A HERPES JOKE FOR A HANDLE. And you said “didn’t really hire”, so was it part of the job description? Did they hire people to do it after the changes, or are those same writers responsible for approving comments? If it’s the latter, how has anything…

Look, that whole thing was fucked up, but climb down off the cross for a minute. The whole reason for having people review comments is because some of them are offensive/inappropriate/illegal/etc., correct? So if someone took a job as a reviewer of said comments, they would necessarily see such things, right? And if…

Most transparent administration in history.

An fine argument.

....why would anyone “pick up” chewing gross wads of anything?

Are you kidding? Two grand slams and 12 RBI is a fantastic endorsement for the benefits of meth.

A copy of the response I received after telling the Coca-Cola Company that my family will not be purchasing their products as long as they sponsor FIFA’s endorsement of slavery.
