And that was the last time that Ireland lost to Argentina too. God. And here we were thinking this could be our year. Both Ireland and France showed the negative consequences of the battering that they gave each other last weekend. They basically played each other out of the world cup in an effort to avoid the All…

I don’t have a sticker but I am damn proud that I finished a half-marathon. I have crappy knees and a crappy hip and I finished behind two heavily pregnant women (something my wife still regularly reminds me about, laughing) but it was still a great feeling to just say that I had achieved something I didn’t think I…

I thought that was strange. The big guy wasn’t even looking at him and all of a sudden this tiny idiot starts slapping him in the face.

Ha. I remember well when Chesterfield (I think, some horrible bottom-feeing club in the old 4th Division) won multiple consecutive league, cup and European Cup trebles in Sensible Soccer. The always reliable swerve kick.

When I was an intern, we called the nurses the Borg. Whenever anyone messed with one of them, everyone in the hospital knew it straight away and that person’s life became a misery.

Sounds like the doctors were being nice to that guy when they said “exposed” to TB. More like has TB, methinks.

Santorum

I agree to a point. The last book was terrible, I thought. One endless battle lasting hundreds of pages. I ended up skipping chunks of it (something I almost never do). And this is coming from somebody who read the first 10 books twice so you know I'm a glutton for punishment.

Yes, yes, yes. WOT was just awful by the end and this feels the same in many ways. Given how many threads there are to tie up in these books it’s likely that even Sanderson will be dead before its finished.

I’ll be honest. Before they started harping on about it, I had no idea about Mayweather’s history of domestic violence so I appreciate that, at least. It’s not like it’s been front and center in the regular media the last few years. So, I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt

So true about the no shooting. There have been a number of incidents since the New Year where the police have chosen not to shoot armed suspects. Most recently two days ago.

Hey, I'm a fan but I still think the game is made up more of lulls in the boredom rather than lulls in excitement. There's already way too much bloat and standing around. Getting rid of the gimme extra point would hopefully help a little.

Not defending him at all. He is clearly a terrible person. This whole article is about how he might get off with murder. My only point is that he shouldn't be convicted just because we all "know" that he did it. It should be because the prosecution proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt.

Although it appears that he did it, I'd still rather see him get off if the prosecution can't do its job and prove the case. In the last few months there have been two individuals released from Death Row in the South after spending 25 and 30 years in jail respectively for crimes they did not commit because the…

I dunno, after the whole "African Studies" fiasco, it's hard to beat UNC for the most hateable team of the last few years. Watching the interviews on John Oliver where the guys talked about learning Swahili was nauseating.

And when you left college, I'm sure that you took an unpaid internship for 4 years in the hopes that at the end you would get a job commensurate with your talents.

Because it's not ok for said 56 year old Dad to have porn in the house and this just slips in under the line of respectability. Sports!!

Way to not understand statistics. In the age group most likely to be shot, about 66% are white and 14% are black. If the risk of getting shot was the same for both categories, there should be nearly 5 times as many whites shot as blacks in a given year. In fact, in 2012, there were only 3 times as many whites shot as…

Need more stars

As soon as he stops diving (aka cheating) he can get whatever award they want to give him but until then, however talented he is, he should never get the player of the year award. What kind of example does that set?
