That’s because he’s English.

News report here in Canada tonight had the cable cars 3000 meters above the valley floor. Now I’m far less impressed.

After writing this headline, Billy got wrecked with a can of Fresca.

Jeter wanted to be one, but nobody could understand what he was saying. “Yeah, Zheetz!” So he got implants.

I was wondering the same, but clearly wasn’t smarter than you, because I didn’t think to ask. Kinda like when driving and I need directions.

When I was young I became a Chargers fan for a stupid reason (Dan Fouts had a beard, my dad had a beard. It all made sense). What works here is I am now not a Chargers fan for a stupid reason.*

We might need to lay some mines, as well.

Apparently you weren’t watching taekwondo in the Olympics. More aimless foot waving than a Daniel Day Lewis movie.

This is the best response because clearly wrestling and basketball have the same rules, written by the same people, played by the same people. Also tiddlywinks and jai alai. Maybe others.

Thanks. I knew that, clarified my answer elsewhere.

I clarified my answer to another commenter, but this is correct. I meant FIFA doesn’t want direct competition with the World Cup.

I should clarify: when it started, it was not an event FIFA originated, and they didn’t want it to take away from the World Cup, so they put in the rules to make sure it was not in direct competition.

It’s also because it’s an event that FIFA doesn’t control.

One. One of the best players. And Neymar opted out of playing in the Copa America - which most Brazilians would tell you is the more prestigious tourney - because he wanted to play for his home country and try and make up for a smidgeon of the bad taste left over from the World Cup.

All true, although they did experiment here (and will in two other tournaments) with a 4th sub during extra time. Not that that will make much of a dent. These guys already run upwards of 18km during a 90 minute game, the only breaks coming at half or when someone is injured.

Speaking as a Canadian who was immensely disappointed with how it turned out for our guy in pole vault, Barber, that was an absolutely incredible event to watch. The Brazilian, the Frenchman, and the American were all worth cheering for, and I’m very happy CBC recognized what was happening and didn’t turn away as soon…

Friends lived in the south of France for a year while he was on sabbatical so he could do research. They went to the local pool one day and his 13yo son was told he couldn’t wear board shorts, would have to wear Speedos. They didn’t own Speedos. Well, we’re glad to loan you some. Which had a stray pube lodged in…

The Canadian announced is pretty sure it was Phelps who was robbed, not Lochte.

While the next throw is going on, so you’re dodging as well. I’d watch that.

I’ll buy that it was a major screw-up. The announcer apologized. Nary a peep from NBC, of course.
