And yet, England would still find a way to lose to them

1)I'm kind of tired of angst-ridden Doctor's because a lot of it seems to be tacked on just to tack on some sort of angst to the character. I was hoping Capaldi would be a bit more balls out when it came to Doctoring- the concerns over whether he's a hero or not doesn't seem to fit

Never go full racist

keep slurping up what the NFL tells you

I liked this movie too but I'm not sure it's worth naming an arena after

don't worry- oakland's flush with cash and had no crime whatsoever so they have plenty of money to spend

Oh, McDonald's going to play for half a season at least (due process) and once the investigation is over, the Niners will come up with some excuse to have him playing (playoffs and all that). Either that or they'll release him and some other football team will pick him up.

It's Northern California, we only get riled up about Google buses. But, fans just stop going to games instead- the Raiders are blacked out a lot and the A's attendance is really sad considering how good they are (although A's fans blame the Giants instead of their asshole owner for their woes). But why people went…

Half of the stuff Kawakami writes is pure #hottrolltake but he's been going after the 49ers hard for their handling of problematic players for awhile now, to the point it's obvious everyone from the owner to Harbaugh hates him

Too bad Dew missed this is in his "Why Your Team Sucks" columns: 49ers lead NFL in Arrests past 3 years"

"Hmmmm......did he smoke pot while assaulting her? This is a tough one"

It looks like Everton's "stand around and hope Chelsea doesn't score a goal" defense doesn't really work very well

Wait, was Michael Sam dropped by Man U? I must have missed the part of this story that mentions soccer in it

meh, I think the first version if this story was written in 1890. I don't know why this story is written every three months (one could argue that football's future could be even bleaker) yet here it is again. Baseball will be fine.

I've read all if these and the one takeaway I've gotten from them is maybe football and alcohol don't mix

The Ravens might be the worst franchise in sports just for hateability:

No Tatania, No Peace

Schottenheir Jr. is a testament to the powers of nepotism and mediocrity. A dude so average he can't even accomplish what his dad did and get his team into the playoffs enough times to consistently choke. And I'm looking at you too Shanny Jr

My take on is that it was an acknowledgement that Clara as a character was bungled in S7 so the episode wasn't just an introduction of Capaldi as the Doctor but a reboot of Clara too. She still doesn't have much in the way of a discernible personality but it's the first time she was halfway interesting in an episode…

I think it's because Tennant wasn't allowed to use his normal, Scottish accent and Amy wasn't supposed to be Scottish but she couldn't nail down an English one. So it's a way of making note that they can use Scottish accents again. Also Moffat's Scottish so I'm guessing he was having a bit of fun with that too.
