Are we pretending Rocky Balboa wasn’t pretty good now? I mean, it’s not great, but it’s pretty good for the 5th movie in a series.

I hope Duke will also make an appearance in this film, just to persuade Rocky to stop making movies.

This is now three articles about Germany/France and not a single one about the USA’s match against China. Nothing about the record-setting defensive performance? Tactical analysis for the upcoming match between the consensus two best teams in women’s football? Nothing?

France lost to Colombia, a team the USA handled…

Another year in the cellar for the Cleveland Women, though.

Really? It was a retelling of every man vs nature story ever. It was so cliche it hurt.

“It’s like when you’re in high school and you don’t get invited to the party”

“You ain’t no real nigga. You a white boy, you preppy, you rich boy.”

So this post is less about the ranking of Shearer characters, and more about how little you know about The Simpsons (yet still opine about it)?

How in blue perfect hell is Principal Seymour Skinner not on this list?! You could easily make the argument that Skinner was Shearer's best character. I call shenanigans.

What I love about this article:

This assumes there are no shitty writers at Deadspin. Assume nothing.

SURELY THE JOURNALISM GODS CHORTLED MIGHTILY

Be that as it may, there’s a reason that they moved it to prime time. I’m guessing the ratings justify it.

Meh. I can’t get too worked up about this. Tweeting the picks a minute early than its announced just doesn’t bring enough benefit to justify spoiling the entertainment aspect of the draft.

I’m no ESPN fan (though as a Canadian we don’t even have it up here, though we get their draft coverage) but is this really a bad policy? Is it so bad for me to want to be able to interact with people on Twitter during the draft (which is fun) without seeing someone tell me who is about to be picked 20 seconds before…

Not for nothing, but this was seconds before the injury. I’m not saying Olynyk’s play was good, but it backs up his claim that guys lock arms all the time in the NBA.

Yeah, he was intentionally holding onto his arm in an attempt to keep Love away from the ball. Which is clearly a foul. But saying he intentionally injured the guy is a different thing from saying he intentionally clutched onto his arm, which is something that happens all the time in basketball. Also, a still frame…

I understand being frustrated about suffering an injury, or having your teammate suffer an injury, but it absurd to suggest that Olynyk ripped the guy’s arm out of the socket on purpose. It sucks to get hurt, but it happens. Don’t be a child about it.
