For my entire childhood, my father kept a 12-pack of Schlitz on the floor of the garage and would crack on open before entering the house upon arriving home from work. The garage was obviously not refrigerated, so the only time my dad got a cold beer was in the winter. Otherwise, warm Schlitz for pops.

Al Davis died from Leprosy, right?

How to be a soccer fan:

That's the most black person anyone in attendance has ever seen.

Question as a pretty novice Baseball guy: Is this a fair ball? He hits it off the catcher's leg, then it lands in fair territory. If the catcher had caught it, I'd imagine it's an out, so by that token is it in-play since it lands ahead of the base?

BioSteel's twitter hashtag is #DrinkThePink. They're going to be a hit with the WNBA

I have to agree completely with you. Other than it being a long run, nothing special about this at all. He's not even forced to take anyone one — just running while every Newcastle player backs off until he's free on goal.

"Judy Murray has personally owned the "destroying Yoko Ono on Twitter" space since at least last October, which is the point where my browser crashed as I conducted this exclusive Grantland investigation (i.e., scrolled down through Murray's timeline while trying to decide whether I wanted an orange)."

Your comment assumes that FIFA gives a sad, tiny shit about a single player, country team, or the tournament itself as a means to "determine the best team in the world." FIFA's goal is to line it's pockets with as many Euros, Dollars, Yen, etc it possibly can, and a crazy ball that may result in crazy goals is another

This.

"We'll pay you a billion dollars to tell us how you made all that snow."

The field assistants got there three seconds before the ref ate that dog.

In fairness, the flight was cancelled because of a mechanical problem, just not one with their plane.
