The entire season, almost every take was that the playoffs were going to be boring, because we all knew the Warriors were going to be champs again. And to their credit, they fought relentlessly to succeed against my beloved Raps. But fuck anyone who wants to diminish Toronto’s accomplishments. The entire post-season…

I’ve followed hockey less in recent years so I am blown away that they were in last place and are now champs. Incredible.

I had a similar thought about not playing quite as hard after the score was say, 5-0. But then I remembered about the goal differential, and that other teams might also beat up on Thailand, so you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage by easing up, without knowing the scores in future round-robin games.

Exactly what I came here to post.

Trust me I consulted Wikipedia before that Fiat 128 reference!

Yes, it wasn’t as clear before but makes a better statement now :) 

“[They] were the first mass-produced cars to have a transverse/FWD layout.”

I’m interested in the play at first - it almost looks like the runner beats the throw, and/or the first baseman comes off the bag a hair early.

It was the wall bounce that really helped him here - without it he would have needed a couple of  steps to slow down and turn his momentum back into the throw.

Counterpoint - it probably already has happened and he wears Depends for this eventuality. 

I’m so glad this video exists.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who caught this. It’s easy to miss in the game, but such a cool move.

Deadspin: A historically great and dominant team doesn’t mean that soccer is broken, and the British commentariat that suggest so are dumb.

OG Raptors fan here, and for once in a playoff series I was almost happy for the opposing team. I find it really hard to dislike the Bucks as a team, or any of their players, and I knew going in that winning this series is a long shot. I was pleasantly surprised by Lowry's performance. All I ask for is an enjoyable…

“It is absolutely mind blowing that anyone could need this much space to lounge around during a busy weekend (even for both the RBR and Toro Rosso teams it hosts), but that mindset probably shows that I am a plebeian who has no concept of Too Much Money.”

It’s a reminder that the plural of one Honda should really be “Hondae”.

At about 0:48 of the video you can finally see the very small push to the back of Lindell’s head, to which he responds by flopping. Karmic justice delivered.

I was so happy I decided to tune in to the Blazers game, knowing it was an elimination game and the level of dislike between the teams. I hardly ever watch either team unless they are beyond the 2nd round of the playoffs. Solid reward.

I want to talk about how you have a “shower experience” rather than just “take a shower”.

The amazing thing is, that with the wheelbase that looks too short for a sedan, and rear doors that are obviously useless for humans, the whole thing still appears to have the typical Mercedes build quality, including the properly styled bodylines through both doors and into the main body.
