Don’t over think it and don’t overspend. Ask someone at the store. Look for something in the $5-8 range with a fun label. Google to find out what varieties are considered a “dry white wine” or whatever the recipe calls for. You could probably get by with Cabernet if the recipe calls for red and Chardonnay for white.

Since this is a D.C. sports franchise, the most painful outcome seems like the likeliest one. Which means Strasburg will throw seven scoreless innings and strike out 12, and the Nats will lose behind Trea Turner going 0-for the series and Dusty Baker mismanaging the bullpen.

Wow, Dusty Baker concerned about an ace pitcher not having enough rest? Scott Boras asking to be taken at face value? There is nobody to believe here.

If you’re at a place that has a “wine person” ask them for recs, and tell them exactly that. But you could also just get something cheap and basic and do just fine. I usually grab a cheap cab or malbec if the recipe calls for red, and a chard or sauv blanc if it calls for white.

To be fair, I’m not sure the NFL even understands football, given the regular controversy over what is and isn’t a catch.

“I also think that the cover-up is almost always causes more headaches than the actual problem.”

What the fuck is this comment? Get lost.

Love rugby and actually played tighthead prop at Wits years back, but as long as the NFL is siphoning off all of that type of physical talent, we’ll never stand a chance against the southern giants or the traditional Euro powers. We’ve only won three rugby World Cup matches out of 25 games played, and two of them were…

Not enough GRIT

We’d be so fucking good at rugby. Just need some NFL washouts.

Honestly, my initial response to “How to Use Wine That Is No Longer Drinkable In the Kitchen” was ‘to drink it in the living room.’ Good ideas, but yeah, not sure how often unused wine will be sitting around. :-P

man if you think we don’t have a long-term plan for soccer i got bad news about rugby. american soccer chooses to go after athletes who failed in other sports instead of installing youth academies but rugby has to do it out of necessity.

Yeah, like, on one hand it’s bittersweet that it will be the last time seeing them, but on the other, this departure should have happened awhile ago. As a Yankees fan, I have little tolerance for the let’s-trot-out-old-guys-for-nostalgia-because-oh-god-there’s-no-one-else excuse (as I’m sure you understand, ha).

For real. We trot out players that weren’t good enough four years ago and we act surprised when this happens. We let the MLS and USSF become conjoined like carnival freaks and it results in a team filled to the brink with players that just aren’t good enough.

Come on guy. They lost to Trinidad and Tobago. The United States. We shouldn’t lose to Trinidad and Tobago at anything. ANYTHING. If you don’t think that’s at least a little bit hilarious, well, I don’t know what to tell you. If England ever loses to Bermuda, you’d never stop laughing.

Why are you counting, you miserable dickhead? It’s already been played by your worthless ass.

Don’t dismiss getting pulled into a black hole. It happened to Ozzie Smith!

Probably the feet too; they’re important here.

This pussy. He should run himself out there sick, get tattooed and blamed for the loss, and possibly compromise his health. Like a man.
