Side note from a former Army officer: It’s impossible to say “IRR” without sounding like an idiot. 

And people tell me I’m to dry, too poker-faced when I compose an ironic post, they enjoin me to use winkies and ackernyms so they can figure out I’m being /sarcastic. You sir, win the match. I’ll reread a few times until I detect the tiniest kernel of a clue that you’re pulling our leg, but until then, that’s a fine…

It’s almost like they were named the Ravens for a different reason...

You forgot the NBA champion Raptors.

A guy I used to know from Atlanta explained that to me a few years ago.  I then explained to him the virtues of holding onto a lead.

Fixed the New Orleans Pelicans logo for you.

I love this.

Notably, I don’t work in academia to be friends with young adults.

Far more of an issue, IMO, is how horrible the refs have been at doling out proper punishment. Cameroon got away with murder against England. The ref in Spain - USA was horrible, letting Spain foul endlessly without presenting a card until the game was almost over.

“Well, we’re pretty sure she can’t hurt it any worse”

I would’ve at least expected Tim Ream to be caught out of position on this question.

The same logic is applied to doctors during their internship - “Yes, they have to work abusively long shifts, and yes, they’re exhausted and sleep-deprived on the job and this might easily result in poor patient outcomes (including death), and yes, it’s a hellacious ordeal but I went through it and so everyone else…

Just because you are in an offside position, as that player well behind the defense obviously is doesn’t mean offside will be called. You have to be in an offside position and either play the ball or in the ref’s opinion interfere with the play (block the goalie’s view etc). That player way offside obviously doesn’t…

The Cameroon player deep in English territory didn’t have any interaction with the subsequent play, and thus is not subject to being called offside. The player whose back foot is barely offside is the one who received the pass and sent it on to the would-be goalscorer.

at least he has 13 years to turn things around.

I liked the one the Giants tweeted out.

IDK, it keeps old Boomers away from Fox News and Facebook for 4 hours most weekends, so it’s not all bad.

Just found a video of Matt coming home to Brad after one of those parties:

I bet you like MLB’s unwritten rules too.
