It's interesting that you're proficient in Dutch; I would have guessed German, given your level of ability at detecting sarcasm.

That's how they've been setting up the breakthrough banner in Wallkill for years. Just wait until you see how the pregame entrance for the team from nearby Moatmurder usually goes.

Banner in the stands the last time the Reign came to Portland to play the Thorns: "We're not your family, Hope, you can't beat us!"

The entire viewership of Fox & Friends have either an IQ below or age above the number 80.

Hop Valley Brewing's Mouth Raper IPA got some deserved attention a few months ago for being amazingly clueless.

Yep, Stone sold 3-liter Jeroboam sized bottles of Arrogant Bastard and Double Bastard for a while. I bought one of the DBs for a friend's 21st birthday, and she finished it in one night with minimal sharing. All 110 lbs of her. Damn that girl's a trooper. I think it cost about $65 in 2003.

Fair enough. But who else was talking about Rogue before you brought them up?

Yeah, no disagreement on that. It's all about trying to get the men to go along with turf, too. But, if things continue along their current path, both Russia and Qatar may lose their host status, so it may end up with just the ladies having to play on turf next year. And that's not cool.

Sources say he will also soon announce his transfer to play for the Cal Golden Bears next season. Sarafin commented, "It just seems like a more natural fit there, you know?"

It's interesting that two of the players mentioned—Alex Morgan and Nadine Angerer—play on turf with their club, the Portland Thorns. Then again, maybe they don't complain since the FieldTurf at Providence Park is rated 3 stars by FIFA, and most of the other teams in the league are in high school stadiums that probably…

And Porter throws up his hands because he knows Alonso is a first-class asshole, too. It's MLS's problem that the leage allows thugs like Alonso to flourish and get away with that kind of crap game after game.

Thanks for the reminder about Fuller's ESB. I hit a bar that has it on draft a couple of times a week, but I don't think I've ordered one in years. The continual push for novelty really does make people forget about classic standbys.

Kolsch is somehow one style people get insufferably pedantic about definitions, though I've never heard anyone claim that you can't make a true Kolsch outside Germany. The discussion linked below covers all of the other bullshit that similarly insufferable jagoffs will argue about the style.

You must be a real devil with the ladies.

In what kind of bizarro world does a winner have to REMAIN in Spokantucky? Don't feel too bad, Fisher, at least you got to leave that hellhole promptly.

Sigi Schmid is so fucking happy right now!

The venue where my wife and I hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner immediately instituted a new "NO SHOTS!!!" policy for private events after the cretinous horde we had invited to share our commitment to one another had descended upon their bar for a few hours. I'm told they were still finding piles of vomit in random…

Man, Canada can't even get Pez dispensers right.

On April 10 I watched that rat bastard light up the Blazers for 47 points in the Rose Garden. Two days later he tore his Achilles. I guess I'll be able to tell my grandkids I watched Kobe play his last great game. Am I a bad person for being happy that his career functionally ended two days after I spent the entire…

Number one, for sure. Even better when it's really cold out and the beer gets a little slushy and your hair gets ice dreads.
