Landry was immediately elevated to #1 on the QB depth chart.

Magnificently abstruse. +1 pair of khaki pants

There are a lot of things to admire about this, and I’m not pretending that this aspect is the finest, but it speaks to the selfless thought that went into this sartorial gesture and shows it was not done to draw attention to the person making it but rather to the people on it: the color of the embroidered letters…

PROSECUTION: Would you please describe what happened early on Sunday, July 29th?

“Whatever. That’d be a blue where I’m from.”

It’s a stretch, but I think I’m nominally obliged to applaud it.

Let’s be more pragmatic about this. Toss the average person into the ocean, and, after being momentarily alarmed, they’d soon get control, tread water, look around, and at least have a chance at navigating and/or surviving for at least awhile. If there are no nearby land, boats, or top secret US naval missions, they’d…

Well, they had to start doing something with all the daggers LeBron’s dropped on them.

It’s positively shambolic that you didn’t include an ambitious effort, to say the least, especially when they have it all to do now because of conceding a needless corner.

Strong statement. Should put an end to all this. Quite impressive that a defender can deliver such a clinical finish.

I see the logic, but extra time almost always feels like it’s one side trying to survive until the randomness of PKs. Extending it won’t change that. Especially since most of the players will still be exhausted, even with extra subs. Plus, and I’m aware I’m kinda contradicting myself here, why should a team win…

This makes far more sense, as hitting a home run is much, much more difficult, but who pitches?

As a casual soccer fan, I’ve been thinking similar things, so I’ll throw out a few not-entirely-coherent thoughts to see how the more knowledgeable react. And to get called a wanker.

Well, someone’s going to the gulag for that sort of dangerous mistake. Obviously they should have sabotaged the Saudi team before playing Russia.

Let’s at least grant Brazil this: the Swiss are born and raised to achieve a neutral result.

I dunno. Jerky still sounds like a common bathroom activity.

Oh, man, I’d forgotten he was on the receiving end of that.

My mind immediately associated “NC State basketball” with “8 seed”. So I looked it up. Since 2000, they’ve made the tournament 10 times. Their seeds? 7, 9, 3, 10, 10, 11, 8, 12, 8, 9. That’s some stunningly steady mediocrity. (The 3 seed was in 2004, when Julius Hodge won the ACC POY.)
