But also, Sammartino didn’t instantly object. I mean he did eventually complain about the dealer laying out the flop too quickly

I would agree that one of the biggest barriers is American fans not being able to get the best tickets or often tickets at all. Ringside seats for Korakuen Hall shows are sold out immediately and are expensive as hell. (Hell, standing tickets for next week’s three shows at Korakuen are sold out) I live near Ota-ku Gym…

You make it sound like the Knicks tore up Bullock’s contract instead of agreeing to terms with him contingent on passing his medical. I’m sure Bullock doesn’t have to take the Knicks new low-ball offer either. Maybe he can take his talents to the Riverwalk.

So having two good games and four mediocre to bad games gets you the Golden Ball these days? Not sure anybody from the US stood out from each other but a few others had better tournaments.

How could you forget about Complete Computer Fireworks Celebration Kit on Commodore 64?

I am flying back to Japan at 9am on July 4th and I’m planning to be there at 6am. Take no chances.

Technically, they had a mini-tournament. It was interesting how it worked out, but Germany lost to Sweden so they don’t have a complaint. I can see France complaining because they lost to a non-UEFA team but with the rise of the women’s pro leagues in Europe, it is only going to get harder scheduling qualification…

Scratch that.

I guess she’s a fan of Randy Orton.

I had a roommate that loved some venison. He’d come from hunting with a tub’s worth. He would then to proceed to heat up about 2-3 pounds at night in the microwave and half the time forget it was in there and go out and get drunk.

Even if she had her arm at her side, that ball is hitting her arm. I can’t find the newest versions of the Laws of the Game on FIFA (big surprise) but some places are saying every single time the ball touches the arm, it is a penalty. That can’t be right because there have been multiple instances of handballs in the…

The first time I saw Mewis was in one of the warm-up friendlies and my first thought was, “Why is she not a starter?” Luckily, she’s started 3 of the 4 matches.

Morgan is hurt but I’m not sure Lloyd can give a full 90 minutes. If I was Ellis (and not afraid to be fired), I’d take out the entire front-line. For sure I’d have Press in for Rapinoe and Pugh in for Heath. Rapinoe looks like she’s sleepwalking thru the tournament with the occasional good pass. Heath is spending too…

I now live in Japan and have to go to F until I learn the Celsius levels. I’m not sure where I found it but basically you double the celsius number, then subtract the first digit and add 32.  So 23C, double to 46, subtract 4 to get to 42 and then add 32 to get to 74. It might seem convoluted but it is correct more…

indirect free kick, where a team’s free kick opportunity is placed inside their opponent’s penalty box

The risk is higher now than it’s ever been, as evidenced by all the recent injuries. Modern ballparks have less foul territory than previous ballparks, putting fans closer to the plate. Pitchers are throwing faster than ever before resulting in faster exit velocities on line drives down the lines. And even if you take…

The attempt to completely invert the legacy of the greatest bigot in WWE’s history is a brazen lie, and it looks like it.

Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta, who has reportedly complained about that contract to team staffers as well as rival executives

I love how Rapinoe absolves her own ridiculous celebration by saying you can’t blame first time World Cup goalscorers for celebrating. I guess she forgot the other World Cup goals she’s scored.

I’m not sure how anyone who orders “no onions” is even the same species as me.
