how the hell is anyone supposed to know that without an explanation?

So getting the call clearly right, and ensuring the correct result, is “just an added turd on top of VAR’s shit sundae.”

“The rules are too hard to understand, so there should just be no rules.”

It’s “VAR made the right call, so despite any other legitimate criticism of the system, this article is like 1000 words longer than it needs to be.”

Because the ball hit Silva on its way to Agüero (and it’s likely that it wouldn’t have found its way to the open space in front of the Argentine without the deflection), the VAR decision is objectively correct.

Here’s the thing. It’s the correct call. Absolutely.

I know I would. Then I’d wash it down with a tall, cool Budweiser. 

Reading the Tampa players basically saying it was bad luck like they didn’t just get dragged out back and shot execution style after three days of torture is a little weird

Spoiler alert: he is not.

THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU BRING A STICK TO A CANNON FIGHT!!!!!

I was at Nationwide Arena last night — it was my first-ever hockey game. Pretty crazy stuff.

Not even remotely, come on. The gap between the best NHL team and even the worst NHL team, much less a fellow playoff team, is way fucking minuscule compared to the gap between a program like UVA and one like UMBC. This is silly.

It has been so many years and one of my teams has won a playoff series

Hockey is just the best goddamn sport.

Blue Jackets fan here since the day they were announced, so man, this felt good. 

at which the skaters were each awarded £100 for winning the “Worst Slam” category.

You have a Cup and a Super Bowl, both somewhat recent, and it’s warm all the time. You know what? Fuck you, pal. 

The Rays exceed expectations almost every year and made a World Series in 2008! I don’t know how these Tampa fans think they’ve earned the “woe is me” treatment 

Were you not alive in 2004?
