I played in college in the U.S. a long time ago and I did not know half these rules. But as long as nobody else did it was still a good time. At least in the U.S. when I played, the afterparty was way more important than the game, and hosting your visitors was taken very seriously. You could disgrace your program…

As an embarrassed D.C. resident, and formerly lifelong fan, I am fine with this confusion.

I usually just skip over the HamNo screeds but I came here to say this or star a comment that says it better than I could.

I live in D.C. and my 16-year-old son bandwagons whatever team LeBron is on, and really he is such a good (not perfect) role model I don’t even mind.

I’ve read Death in the Afternoon, which is a great book if you want to understand why bullfighting was ever a popular entertainment, and Hemingway’s writing is always a pleasure. But it is a barbarism that really can’t be excused by cultural differences anymore.

Why would a ref ignore a player complaining that he is being stabbed? A player is not a haystack and it would be pretty hard to hide a needle on a soccer player if the ref needs to check it out. It’s not going to kill anybody but it is bringing a weapon on the field and it should result in an automatic ban and…

Those big nets and small goalies. All those old games should have double digit scores on both sides.

It turns out the gunman had been living out of his gym bag at the YMCA next to the baseball field for the past six weeks, and during that time befriended the former mayor of Alexandria, who works out there. And the former mayor offered to help him find him a job. Like I was saying, Alexandria is a great little city.

Ok, seriously, I want those.

Yeah I live 8 blocks from that field and I have been there at least 100 times (soccer-playing kids). No small-town feel here at all except that people here have the deserved Northern VA reputation for being nice (suck it Maryland).

Maybe it was just the limitations of the camerawork, but it appeared that that Durant hugged four different Cavs (Lebron, J.R., Thompson and Shumpert) and his mom before his first Warrior. I got a distinct “the only bright side of this loss is you got your ring” vibe from the Cavs and at first Durant seemed more…

I am this section of the guardrail, and I am about to go all structurally unsound and spill these twits to their doom.

Love Harry Kane but if he tells you he is under 35, check his birth certificate.

Lonzo’s problem is he looks like a giant douche for buying into LeVar’s constant clowning and preening over a long period of time. If LeVar went away tomorrow, he has still given his son a terrible public image. Legacy!

An ashtray brought to life.

Attention sad-sack Scottish rock bands (you are legion), start composing.

How about curling up with a good book?

I hope Rex did not hit on front left, who is clearly his daughter:

At first I thought he never bothered to have his jacket tailored but I think it was tailored to be worn by a cardboard box.
