THIS is a great example of how useless diving is.

If you attempt to stay on your feet, or at the very least (as we see here) continue to try to play the ball, regardless of whether or not your unbalanced self might appear to have been fouled, great things can and do happen. Just keep playing the ball, and don't go down…

Seems like Douchebag heaven!

Definitely; it was just a matter of time before one or both of those clowns hurt a kid. It just happened to happen in the guy's gym class rather than on the practice field, or on the sidelines during a game. Your story made me think about all that again (its been a while since then). I "quit" too; more like I didn't…

Fun tl;dr story about the doghouse that nobody is asking for either, just like that other guy with the fun story about soccer doghouses.

Junior year of high school I'm on the varsity soccer team. There are plenty of seniors in the starting eleven, and maybe 4 or 5 spots for anyone else good enough to take one. I had…

The current non-promotion-relegation nature of US professional soccer is a lot like no child left behind, frankly.

I enjoyed the extended deconstruction of Gregggggg this week. Here's hoping for more and more deconstruction of the haughty dipshit in the future! I MUST HAVE IT.

Notre Dame is a big thing on Long Island and in NYC, with all the catholics in the area. I am pleased I no longer have to live there, for this reason and others.

The way Ohio keeps good beer outside its boarders (like it had ebola or something) I'm guess its at least 100+ miles from me at the least.

Using the beer finder feature on Schlitz's website I have discovered that I have never lived within and reasonable proximity to Schlitz. Thus, I have never had Schlitz. This saddens me.

Your general lack of faith in even numbers is frustrating.

Kill it with fire!

King's discourse here is not unlike the thinking of the bourgeois critic described by Roland Barthes in his essay titled "Criticism Blind and Dumb", which appears in his book Mythologies. For anyone who wants to see, perhaps, the origin of such thinking displayed by King (and the NFL), look no further than this essay.

There is definitively no chance in hell Yuengling is better than Genesee Cream Ale.

This liquid junk has been promoted insanely here in Northeast Ohio for the last few years, and I still have to sit through commercials for it during Cleveland Indians games. When it was reintroduced to Ohio in, I think, 2011 everyone went nuts, getting all excited that it had finally made it to Ohio, like it was the…

That might be Andrew Whitworth's neck.

All I heard was some rumbling, stumbling and bumbling, and then my brain oozed out of my ears [dies].

His life is a vacation, he can be wherever he wants whenever he wants. A suspension is meaningless to someone with roughly "$1.7 billion" on hand. Variable capital (employees; NFL players in this case) is always degraded the most during the labor process. You can't expect the foreman (Goodell) to be able to discipline…

They forgot the Lasagna Burger's close cousin: the spaghetti sandwich!

About the "terrible skaters" who "populate the NHL's fourth lines", I think the argument could be made that there is a sizable amount of unrealized potential in the CHL and AHL leagues. A lot of those useless 4th line skaters are there simply because GMs and coaches think they need "tough" guys to goon around. As that…

Watching these makes me feel as if I am trapped in Terry Gilliam's Brazil.
