No doubt. It was an amazing run, and it's not necessarily over yet. I just wish they were confident enough to come out of their shell more. It's a shame the holing up is still a valid strategy to win the World Cup. And when you look at their results and watch their matches from four years ago, that's exactly what they…

What did you expect? Soccer players can't use their hands, after all.

what is this, a snow fort for ants?

To be fair, this would be the only time Snow would be any use to the Islanders.

Normally a pile of snow helps you score.

"Float like a butterfly, stings when I pee."

Not as much as the NRA or their clients, the firearms industry.

The Aussies have an imaginary rivalry with us because they think they're the most arrogant athletic super power. I'm kind of serious. They think because they're good all year round in cricket, Aussie rules, swimming, chazzwazzing, relief pitching, didgeridooing, etc that they are the top sporting nation. And we're…

You wouldn't type slowly if you could use more than your index fingers, sir.

I can see Mexico (of course ... ingrates), Russia, and Italy ... but—but—but Australia? What did we do to them besides stopping the Japanese?

Oh come on, Samer, this article isn't very fair. It's not that we don't know shit about soccer, it's that we don't know shit about geography.

Thankfully you're not a judge, because he's contractually obligated to do what the NBA says, y'know, since it's a private organization and not the fucking government, and it's pretty easy to understand that.

We'll see if the goodwill between Chicago fans and Miami fans continues next year when they battle it out in the 2015 World Series.

Is that why in 1978 when Affirmed won, three of the five entrants either hadn't run the Derby, Preakness, or both? Total sour grapes. Do some research.

I posted this separately, but the guy was classless even when he won. He used the podium at Pimlico to tell Churchill Downs to fuck itself.

...and, that's the last image the public will have of this clown. A grumpy old man; a whiny, sore loser. Imagine if he instead had taken the high road and praised the winner?
