They had no reason to follow her, is how I took it. Everything that everyone had told her up to this point had not come true or worked. Even after devastating Cersei so quickly, the whole “let it be fear” came back. With Sansa still controlling the north and Jon’s superior claim, how does she convince the people that…

The lineup Emery rolled out yesterday is really what they should have been using since December. Keeping Mustafi out of the back three, using four wide in the midfield with Ozil to link with the two forwards. They’ve run that lineup almost exclusively against Napoli and Valencia and just torched them both.

Seems overly complicated, but I suppose awarding a spot to a losing team also isn’t a great look. Thanks for the breakdown!

How does this final work as Chelsea already qualified for the Chanpion’s League? If they win does fifth place in the Premier League make it? 

While the game is alright solo, if you have even a single person to play co-op with it is so well worth it.

I’m so excited for the next edition of Dead Letters!

The only realistic sense in which he should have been considered offside is if Wilson, who was replacing him, had come off the bench in the zone. That’s what the rule is getting at. If you recognize Landeskog as player X, he’s in a delayed offside position. Wilson becomes player X when he replaces him, if he does so…

Please oh please rehire Byron Scott!

Not only does it set a terrible precedent, as you noted, but also make those Republicans own that support. There is positive political capital to be gained in 2020 by forcing Republicans to own their support of the President.

Normally all time greats wait until they retire before they tarnish their legacy.

Realistically they’re mostly so protected from the actual outcome of climate change that it won’t matter to them. So while likely less lucrative in the long term, it’s easier and more readily available to just continue the status quo and leverage whatever benefits you can to make more money.

I agree completely. It’s unfortunate but it appears that it is effectively a career ending injury of sorts. I hope I’m wrong but being afraid to jump in basketball is about as bad as it gets.

I know the dude has a legit reason, grotesquely breaking his leg, but Hayward has regressed more than any player I’ve seen in a very long time. It’s extremely disheartening, but he’s arguably sub replacement level at this point.

This is very true! I made a mistake of assuming if he does show up he’ll be some form of supernatural being considered he died thousands of years ago. Take that for what you will, but I would amend my comment to be that “if The Night’s King ever shows up, Martin will have the same issue as the show has with the Night…

I understand that completely and that was my point. The resolution to the threat, regardless the medium, was never going to land because of what the threat represented and how much the nature of that story conflicts with the story south of the wall. While the Night’s King and the Night King are different, I don’t know…

The Night’s King in the books, for as little as we know about him, and the Night King in the show both are such a conflict with the larger narrative established in both the books/show.

Honestly, I was someone who originally accepted the AG summation *until* the report did come out. And the report very literally lays out multiple instances of obstruction while also noting they did not indict the President due to the standing position of the DOJ that a sitting President can’t be indicted and thus…

That’s from DOJ officials, though. That’s the whole issue, everything being framed as Mueller agreeing with the DOJ is coming from the DOJ. With all of this, what gives anyone any confidence they aren’t just saying that to alleviate concerns? Let’s have Mueller himself confirm that statement rather than take it as…

I’m not 100% opposed but it better be someone not at risk to be viewed as average less than a decade later. I mean to compare some of the former Washington players he listed to Mickey Fucking Mantle is hilarious.

I like that the DOJ spokesperson is claiming that in the conversation between Mueller and Barr that Mueller didn’t object to the letter.
