Bekele wasn’t in the Rio Olympics, and Nike products are not made in Brazil.

That’s actually what I yell everytime I take a shit in the middle of a Best Buy.

I’m not sure if anyone heard about this other fun fact. But the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in last year’s NBA Finals. (The Finals is the championship series in professional basketball.)

Well Rivera-Wetteland wasn’t exactly groundbreaking stuff either. Rivera pitched the 8th, Wetteland pitched the 9th. I don’t believe there was a lot of mixing and matching based on the strength of the lineup.

This is partly true, but Yost used his BP in a fundamentally different way from what Francona is doing. You didn’t see the Royals best reliever (Wade Davis) coming in at the highest leverage situation; he came in for his “inning” (the 8th, and later, the 9th). That’s why Rivera-Wetteland is a good comp.…

These Indians relievers, Andrew Miller, Bryan Shaw, and Cody Allen, remind me of nothing so much as the turn-of-the-millennium Yankees, with Rivera-Wetteland and then Nelson-Stanton-Rivera.

I’m 29 and I can not tell you how many times I’ve daydreamed about going back and playing little league, not as a kid, but as an adult. I would fucking dominate and feel a power that I’ve never felt before. Imagine getting a 40mph floater right down the middle and taking it deep, rounding the bases while staring…

Nothing is worse than Real Salt Lake. There is almost nothing Spanish nor Royal about Salt Lake.

1. Danny Trejo.

Please note two spaces after each period. DISQUALIFIED FOREVER.

Well we only had three bits and didn’t expect such a rush!

Professionalism or not, being BFFs with Scalia is highly suspect.

One thing Letterman was damn good at was turning a fun interview into a dark and brutal stabbing if the mood took him.

“I said forget debate prep. I mean, give me a break,” Trump said at one point.

Don’t forget Ian McKellan’s recent turn at it, if we are including contemporary tv and movies.

Then you know nothing about Bob Bradley. I hated him in the MLS but damn, just watch how he handled the Egyptian national team after the Port Said massacre and how ballsy he was by joining public demonstrations as the obvious American.

Get ready for all the Ricardo Clark you can handle, Swansea City.

I really need to rewatch both, as I’ve only seen both of them once,
but your comment is the one I find myself agreeing the most with! LoK just upped the ante in so many ways (which, except for animation (?), could be referred to as “maturity”), which made it harder to deliver as fully as TLA did.

Agreed. Airbender was a more classic tale and hit all the right notes. Korra didn’t try to copy that and instead did it’s own thing. I love both shows for different reasons. I can definitely see why Airbender came off as more satisfying for most people, but I still love what they did with Korra.

My feeling is this: Avatar is the better executed show. It’s basic hero’s journey stuff, done (as close as you can get to) perfectly. Korra is a more ambitious show, I think, but basically always fails to successfully tackle the hefty narratives it lunges at. I love both, though--I couldn’t say which I prefer--and…
