Gimnasia’s Facundo Oreja fell to the ground, unconscious

Agreed, but what about those that are, and where the size of the pot is dependent on the number of participants?

That’s what I meant by “traditional fantasy”.

I’m not going to ask you what odds you would give that DFS is going to get categorized as gambling - my question is how likely you think if it is categorized as gambling, the arguments for doing so are going to cover traditional fantasy games?

If the internet contains a more distressing photograph than that one

Would you eat this?

Sources involved in Major League Soccer are shocked that Chelsea are signing Miazga, who they believe falls well short of the quality required by the Premier League champions.

if you can provide any context

I don’t blame him for the Union flameout, or returning to the game he knows best.

That’s a pretty liberal use of “Union superstar”...

The NRL has had its scandals, and then it’s had its John Hopoate.

That was the story of Sunday - Patriot goes for a 2, disaster ensues.

Thank you. Slush-shoveling is the absolute goddamn worse.

Denver tried twice to run down the clock and got nowhere near a first down... the real issue here is with the first 4th down, specifically the distance. At a certain distance, Belichick would have gone for the FG... Maybe from 4+ yards? At 1 yard though, he had to keep his offense out there.

They had a lot of very good players - I was living in England back when, and although Shearer was their biggest star, they were strong through the team. It was also back when Kenny Dalgliesh last gave a shit about management.

I’d wager that whether up 5 or 8, Denver is running the ball, eating clock, and putting the game in the hands of their defense.

I agree with all of your reasoning, but I wouldn’t call the first decision “far more suspect” - they needed a yard. Not hard to understand the reason for going for it.

The game might also have been vastly different if Gostkowski hadn’t goated the first PAT...

Definitely crazier. Blackburn way back then were one of the biggest spending clubs in the league - Shearer, if I recall, was the EPL’s most expensive signing.

Isn’t it possible those clauses are invalidated if you’re deemed to be running an illegal gambling operation?
