Is this the same Kobe Bryant that raped that woman in Colorado?

I mean ... fifth in European ELO, second in 538's SPI among teams in the competition, and one loss in the last two months all seem fine, even if they struggled early this season

Cool. Glad that the real name got in there, especially given that rant!

two things that don’t quite fit the main format, one hilarious and one sappy:

There was also lots of good soccer on this past weekend.

Yes, Chris. We all know that guy. But looking objectively, the guy is a marginal NFL quarterback under the best circumstances. Yeah, sure, he had some success and even pulled off some heroics in the playoffs, when it counts the most. But he comes with so much baggage - the kneeling, the outsized media attention, the…

its the ski lady and its not even close

I am a veteran of the US Armed forces (US Army). I swore an oath to defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. I personally would never sit or kneel during the National Anthem but that is my choice based on my personal feelings. I do however, fully support the right of any American citizen…

I am a man and I quit playing co-rec softball after witnessing an entire season of my muscle-bound meathead teammate scanning the field for the weakest female player before every at-bat, then hitting the ball so hard at her he grunted.

And you will be abused. And you may never get…

Lawd Jeebus did that amusement park by the Pepsi Center suck but at least it’s barely better than Lakeside amusement park. The only amusement park my brother threatens to take my niece and nephew to if their grades start to falter. For those not in the know, Lakeside amusement park is the Action Park of the Mountain…

Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to know how much the average citizen of Denver pays attention to the Nuggets, just take a look at this post.

I had them as "Is England".

Yeah sure I’ll cry in the office first thing Monday morning. Sounds good.

Onions, it’s definitely the onions.

So, you’re implying that transgenerational racial animosities, involving the horrors of ethnic cleansing and genocide, might lead to emotional reactions that some people perceive as less than sportsmanlike behavior on the field?

I think the worst thing to come out of the region was that pop band Frank Ferdinand. 

Wow. That’s some heavy shit. I wish I’d known about this before the match. When Shaqiri scored and stripped his jersey off, I thought only of the announcers I’d heard during Stoke matches giving him stick for being a selfish player. This explains a HELL of a lot. Responding to fans who are mocking you with t-shirts of…
