Except it’s not encroachment until their actions actually matter; much like how with offsides you can stand offsides all day if you want, it’s not until you touch the ball that a call is made. If the keeper had stepped off her line and the shot went in, chances are good nothing would have been done.

Food and soda in a gym. Do you want Morants? Because that's how you get Morants.

You think that a bunch of Deadspin commenters haven’t been on the wrong side of an athletic ass kicking? Buddy,,,

I’d think the same if Man City scored 13 against an amateur non league opponent.

Even Boston fans hate Boston fans.  

I’m going to preface this with saying I’m not in NY, and I’m not from NY, so I’m sure all the “NYC IS THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE” people are going to decry this take as “you’re not from there, so you can’t possibly understand,” but...

As a Western PA native who used to play sports against Mars High School, I can safely say the only good thing about that town, other than the name, is that their sports teams are the Mars Planets.

I just hope that playing down there doesn’t mess up the rotation on his shot. 

The utter hypocrisy of Boston sports fan and their incessant media is beyond the pale. Their utter hatred and disdain for the man surely cost years off his life. Boston sports fan are so stupid they tend to forget that a (it was only Game 6,    b (Boston blew a 3-run lead in Game 7, and c (they wouldn’t have even made…

You could never make Blazing Saddles today. All the actors are dead.

I watch full rugby approximately never, but put an international sevens tournament on TV and I’m fucking there, man. I turn into an expert. Oooh, Transylvania drew Fiji in the quarterfinal round? That’s gonna be a tough one for them. Fiji has that one guy who’s a monster.

It’s the fierce territoriality of a people who know that they stole everything they own.

We tend to be more concerned about civil liberties and freedoms and skeptical of government, even if we know it needs to exist and do things. We or our families are people who ditched the rest of the country for the West, so we tend to be a little more sympathetic to immigrants (and hey, a lot of us are immigrants or…

Agreed—cargo pants are the only way to go when traveling by air. I can stash all my items in the various pockets, and then, when I get to security, I just take off my pants and put everything through the metal detector in one neat package!

Steve Keim Has Built Something Beautifully Dumb In The Desert

When I was 13, I was on a summer baseball road trip with my folks. In one city we happened to be staying in the same hotel as the Baltimore Orioles. As we’re waiting for a cab, some of the players are walking through the lobby. One of the pitchers is talking to another teammate and ranking AL cities by the “quality of…

How the fuck does Secretariat make sense? How is soccer anything like horse racing?

Donald Trump didn’t want to take out a full page ad calling to send the Central Park Five to the gas chamber.  But he felt he owed it to them.
