Why do non-English people root for England? Please explain.

Rachel Nichols: Scottie, you and Gary [Payton] have been out of the league for a while now, but seem to have insights no one else does! Why is that?

Expect the first literal Stanley Cup hangover in NHL history.

I usually have to go to White Castle for my horse beef.

Croatia have quite a good team, and Luka is my favorite player, but that group...oh man.

I rate Aspas. He’s not world-class, but you don’t have to be with that service. He knows how to play and his first touch is muy bien. Who is Germany’s striker? Timo Werner? It won’t matter, and the Germans will still do just fine. You don’t have to be a name, just have to know where to be.

Hannah didn’t even realize she was talking to an in-character Al Pacino.

Aspas can play. Whether he ends up scoring a bunch obviously remains to be seen, but I don’t think Spain is as thin up there as people say.

With the defensive duo of Ramos and Piqué, and a midfield full of genius—Iniesta, Isco, Thiago, and Silva—

And Mexico will be happy to pay for it.

He looks like he just did the ‘hat reveal’ to show he’s signing a letter of intent to attend MAGA University this fall.

I’d like this to be done by every available staffer, so we can judge as if it were a casting.

‘Trump is a moron because he uses graphs’ is NOT the same as ‘ Trump is a moron because some people need graphs’.

OV and Lundqvist. They NEED that shit. Brother, if Hank gets his hands on the Cup, I will lose it in front of complete strangers.

Not sure how a gray-haired and bearded mountain of a man can still conjure the spirit and look of the happiest kid in the world, but here we are.

The Jets!

That the Mets suck.

Gonna feel so stupid when she realizes she put her dress on backwards.

Thank you for the gift, but you know the most important (thing) is friendship, getting to know each other
