as the top NRL squads try their hand at the smaller, faster variety of rugby league.

But first, they might win the Premier League.

You make tea using a microwave?! YOU’RE A GODDAMN MONSTER, MAGARY!

Now hold on there. Rugby League is-
...
Actually, I’ve got nothing. Coming from a very small town with a VERY big Rugby League team, I can confirm that this is about par for Rugby League behaviour. Fantastic sport, but you’ve got to be trash to play it.

This. Except the breakaway from Union was in 1895, not the early 1900s

Yeah you’ve pretty much just nailed it.

Haven’t seen the game either, but I believe Oviedo and Costa both went off injured.

The officials are snids. That’s all I’m saying. Proper dirty snids

I don’t want to come across as a butthurt scouser but I am, so fuck it:

If you think that’s bad, you’ve obviously not paid enough attention to Everton’s long history of horrible away kits.

You forgot big Neville Southall. Bin man, hod carrier, moustache wearer, all time great goalkeeper, cult hero.

That much is true. But there’s a difference between the seriousness of a franchise threatening to possibly relocate to London (which, given all the noises made by the league and by the powers that be on this side of the Atlantic, merits at least some serious consideration) and the wisdom of actually moving there.

How’s it never been a serious option for hosting games if it IS hosting games and hosting them successfully? And how is it not a serious option for relocation if, for better or worse, it’s blatantly obvious Goodell IS going to make it happen?
Just because you don’t like the idea (even if you’re in the majority),…

Ok

Yes, because nobody wants an intelligent, sentient human being with the abilities to think for themselves and communicate using words and grip a football with their opposable thumbs as their Quarterback.

But Paul DePodesta’s in charge now. It’s all going to be different.

...Well, it might be, dependent on what Goff’s “On-base plus slugging” is...

Are there teens of a type other than drunk?

No. It’s definitely still a stupid ugly hat. I had three of them during my ska phase at university. If you knew me back then, you would agree.

Seems fair. That sort of works for all parties involved... Except the US for being stuck with Trump and us Brits for being stuck with Morgan. Maybe we could pool our resources and come up with some way to ship them both to Siberia or somewhere?

only that the marginal difference between a good net-minder and a great one is much smaller than at any other outfield position.
