“KimOhNo” should have been the headline and in every paragraph of this post.

Same here, and 15 years after figuring it out, it still takes a couple seconds of conscious effort to see a bird and not the Pacman.

The perfect number of dogs to have is a close friend or relative with 2.

Next we should fix the Hawks logo that’s a red, drunk Pacman with a little chunk of barf floating in midspew.

But rolling it out during the NFL playoffs and mainly using it to roll back awesome plays.

I’m not sure where you’re going with this. So your defense of this really bad rollout is that they’ve done it before? Or are you defending FIFA by blaming the refs (who work for FIFA) for not being prepared to implement significant rule changes for the biggest FIFA event of the year in three months, which is also a…

FIFA...gave its unprepared referees the unwanted responsibility of properly implementing new rules that were only made official six days before the first game of the tournament.

“We raised the hoop to 45 feet for the NBA Finals without telling anybody, but one guy made a shot so I don’t see what everybody’s complaining about.”

or very nearly on the line

The wording here is off. None of those are reasons the person parked like an idiot, they’re just specific ways that they parked like an idiot. Reasons would be more like:

I can’t wait until other American sports start suddenly using lengthy VAR breaks for traveling, illegal contact, holding, and crease violation calls. I’m sure all the truthers in these comment threads will be consistent in their enthusiasm for those as well. 

The development weakness issue goes way deeper in baseball, as kids (well, really their families) are having to pay more and more for year-round select leagues and private coaching to be able to be competitive at each level. That’s why you’re seeing American baseball players getting whiter and richer and less likely…

There’s actually no logical argument against it. Why should they be paid all this money if they should be doing it for ambition and the love of the game?

Your fanciful mischaracterization of the point and wildly unfounded logical leaps have also been duly noted.

I read that it was an explicit point of enforcement that everyone was made aware of.

Agreed. How appropriate or effective this material is is a lot more questionable than her one grammar mistake. That said, commencement speeches are so boring and generic that I support anyone trying to make it more interesting, even if they’re just airing relatively petty grievances.

Good call. Everybody knows that the quality of any game is in the final score and anyone who says one game is more interesting than another one with a similar score is cynically lying, mentally deficient, or otherwise peddling an indefensible double standard.

If Copa America is a horrible mess, the total lack of coverage for the Gold Cup here is a good indicator of how much worse it is. 

And it took forever to adopt the spray. If MLS is doing something smart before the wider soccer world, it’s a pretty sad state of affairs.
