That might have been some of the story, along with other factors related to market perception and manufacturing cost (and I suspect that packaging vs. V6s may have reared its ugly head as well).

If I’m going to go for a banger, I’ll go in style:

“just a half-sack shy of the NFL record”. So a full sack above the actual record, then?

Meanwhile, my dad would fold the seats down and put sheets of plywood in the back of one of these:

She completely lost me when she said that the doctor saved her dying baby & then went on to bitch about said doctor.

Everything about this article is fucking weird, and I’m not sure why it’s in Pictorial.

Yes you wonder how many of the complainers have ever gone to an NWSL game or had even heard of it before the WWC.

“There’s literally no eason to compare a one off event to a major league, major money, constant event.”

Officials don’t give a single crap about parades. They care about one thing, money. Between ticket sales and sponsorship, the money just isn’t there for the women’s World Cup. It sucks, but it’s true. During the men’s World Cup in Brazil, games were selling out at stadiums in the middle of the jungle 1000 miles away…

Hello, I would just like to say that if you would like to continue supporting these ladies, please tune in to the NWSL (National Women’s Soccer League). Games are available for FREE on Youtube. It would be great if we could keep the momentum going after their legendary win.

You know darn well the payment strutures are based on the amount of money the tournaments generate. Your comment is woefully misguided.

They were paid by FIFA, not US soccer. Their pay has nothing to do with US viewership. The women’s World Cup still makes a tiny (tiny) fraction of what the men’s World Cup makes. According to yesterday posts/comments on Gawker/Jez, the men’s World Cup makes 56x what the Women’s World cup makes.

The best ‘Murican movie car will always be...

The engineers that designed a fence (a fence!) that can stop a 3500lb car going 200mph that fast without killing the driver while keeping almost all that kinetic energy out of the stands are God damned geniuses.

Where are you getting 200k km and $4k?

Do you have a source on this? I only ask because this can only be debunked so many times before people get irritated. No the batteries do not wear out that quickly (see the Bew York Cabs). No, the mining process is not as messy as you claim. The statistics on the mining process which I am assuming you are referencing…

Possibly, but this is not my area of practice and I know very, very little about the Hulk Hogan case so I won’t pontificate. I do enjoy the irony of Gawker constantly polishing its Wikipedia page to keep it under wraps that it tried to settle with Hulk, had its offer rejected, and is scared shitless of a judgment…

Your title claims that Cosby argued that he isn’t a public figure, but the excerpt from the brief shows him arguing that he isn’t a public official, which is legally distinct from saying he is not a public figure within the meaning of the law. Even if his interpretation of Pansy is not consistent with its holding or…

To be fair, baseball is really, really important.

I agree. If it’s far away from everyone else and its doesn’t stop someone else from parking SO WHAT?
