The English royals lost their power gradually through hundreds of years of having those powers slowly dissolved by Parliament, usually after a people's rebellion, I don't see that as willingly giving up power.

We call everybody "mate" here in England. ???

Great minds think alike. +1 for all of us.

+1 looks just like him

Agree, Jimmy Saville. I think its probably the closest in similarity to Cosby's situation.

I had to ask what the joke was, too. Brain on slow-drive, but worth the effort to come back and +1 that.

The centre. All day.

I'm originally from Cleveland and yeah, it's worth it for a day. The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame is a bit gimmicky but still worth the visit. If you're the intelligent/acedemic type, you'll want to hang out in Mayfield Rd./University Circle in Cleveland Heights. If you're a hipster, go to W. 25th and Lorain Ave. If you…

I would disagree. Headers are a major part of the game, between passing and scoring, it would be a pretty significant change to soccer. I think you're correct about American football though, it would change fundamental things about it.

I see a posts sometimes of non-sports-related, random stuff on Deadspin that looks like it was written by people who are not staff or contributors. There was one recently about dealing with an ex's suicide, stuff like that. I'm assuming you guys just go through Kinja blog posts other people post and re-post anything…

Those walls are painted to match whatever event is going on there. When the NFL games come to Wembley, each team gets a side of that wall and hangs or paints mural of their players. Not hockey specifically, but Wembley has an arena next to it on the right side for indoor sports, concerts, trade shows etc.

Can the Raiders please pretend to be interested in London? If taking the Piccadilly Tube line to Cockfoster's doesn't make Mark Davis want to move here....

I could not agree more. He's like Namath. He's a fucking rock star. Yeah, I want that guy as my quarterback. He needs to learn how to party a bit more discreetly though. (snuff vial), I really don't want to see him get caught. It's not a "nice guys" vs. "bad boys" thing, it's just that a bad boy in the NFL breathes…

Fellow Twin Peaks fans?? Billy Zane as Audrey Horne's last boyfriend would have been my celebrity crush specifically out of that show.

The argument here is that the foreign players being bought and brought in to win championships are taking playing time away from our young English players in the Premier League, thus they're shit not because the talent isn't there but because they're warming the bench for foreigners and not getting the experience and…

Your assessment is spot-on. Americans think of soccer as a kids' sport. I've seen a kids' soccer game before, it's just a bunch of little people, they're just standing in a circle all trying to kick it at once until someone does and then the whole pack just runs after it. Parents get their kids into it just to wear…

Correct, correct and correct.

+1. Between RVP's header and Favre-to-Freeman on MNF, two of the best plays in sports history. Spot-on post.

They can start at Waterloo Station.
