“The question of what instigated that is what we’re trying to figure out,” Laing said.

Dude, even in Texas, these are just high school coaches. They may be dicks, but they aren’t pros. Their team is trying to force a fumble on a play they know is going to be an up the middle clock-killer, even the DB coaches (assuming they have them) are probably watching the line.

Hold on to the coach outrage for a bit. Its very possible the coaches didn’t see the incident, given that it was a line play. I’m not saying the coaches weren’t culpable, but let’s give them innocent-until-more-evidence-indicates-guilty status.

But Iceland is also home to legendary World’s Strongest Men Jon-Pall Sigmarsson and Magnus ver Magnusson, as well as The Mountain Who Rides, Halfthor Julius Bjornsson. We are all ranked behind Iceland.

Harper’s 2nd inning AB must have been the one of the worst experiences in a pitcher’s life ever: bases loaded, 5-pitch walk to score the pitcher and the guy eventually scores. Matt Wisler: you’re doing baseball wrong.

How is the US behind Mexico and fucking Albania? Nothing against Albania, but Jesus.

My kids explained Austin Butler to me by saying “He played Miley Cyrus’s boyfriend on Hannah Montana and dated Vanessa Hudgens. Oh, he’s also played boyfriends in some ABC Family shows.”

For the record: (1) I am not a Hillary supporter, (2) think her handling of this entire email “scandal” is yet another example of her disdain for the intelligence of the electorate, and (3) am a lawyer and respect that the law on this is clear and she violated it.

I think I read that the crowd shouted “White power!” at one point.

I caught the very end of this game, which was one of the cruelest things imaginable. With Brugge playing a man down, Marouane Fellaini scored a header in literally the last second of extra time. Instead of being at -1 goal differential, Brugge probably needs to win by 3 to advance. Back breaker.

Full disclosure: I am old (50+). But I used to be cool (I saw Black Flag at the Fab Mab in SF when I was in high school).

Clues: Todd Bowles said it was (1) non-football related and (2) some 6th grade stuff. So the Batman/Spider-Man argument is probably accurate. That or Geno accused I.K. of having a boner when they were watching the Taylor Swift “Bad Blood” video and I.K. hit Geno to hide his embarrassment.

Jermaine Dye bobblehead night is coming up!

My dad was a great athlete in the ‘50’s, turning down a football scholarship to UCLA and a baseball contract from the Pirates to play basketball and volleyball at stupid Stanford (I am a Cal guy). He had a mix of good and bad coaches during his career and coached high school basketball for the first few years of…

I’m pretty sure the Rams end up playing home games in the fictional city of Vinci from True Detective.

Of all the horseshit reasons in baseball’s horseshit “unwritten rules” for hitting someone, doing it because he “had hit the Royals hard all series” is the most horseshitty. I love baseball, but its times like this when football fans have it right when they call baseball a pussy sport. I fucking hate the Royals.

I think it takes longer than 3 minutes for frostbite to set in, although I’m not sure what the actual temperature is inside the cryo-tube. http://www.businessinsider.com/how-long-does-…

Stanford (disclaimer: I’m a Cal guy, so Stanford sucks) biomedical researchers developed a device some years ago that rapidly reduced your core temperature. As I remember, you inserted your hand into an almost-vacuum and grasped a handle within; through heat transfer via your palm after something like 3 minutes, your…

I think Drew does a great job making fun of all these teams, but its really the fan comments that restores my faith in humanity. “This is 100% truth: A man literally has a piece of his brain removed, becomes a Bears fan.” Classic.

You are totally right; Blatter is the kind of creature that has been hallowed out by pure greed and evil and which will live for centuries in his castle in the Swiss Alps, feeding on the blood of virgins. All the while, stroking his Nobel Prize and muttering, “My precioussssss.”
