He lost that foot climbing mountains of refined sugar.

Banwala declined to provide any photographic evidence from the summit or even give the names of the four Sherpas who allegedly helped them to the top

As the investigation intensified, the three climbers issued a joint statement: “We made it up.”

I once lied about eating the last two Oreos in the package. My wife asked me if I’d eaten them and I said yes and she got mad. But I actually hadn’t eaten them yet. I lied about having already eaten them just so I could save them for later and eat them while she took our daughter to soccer practice. And then I ate…

All I know is that if Knicks sign him to a max contract, his Achilles will never heal correctly. If they don’t, he’ll win two more rings elsewhere. Capt. Yossarian told me

God damn! You got me! I didn’t. I didn’t win a stanley cup, chief. Did you?

How about this instead . . .

I think it is so ridiculous that they call themselves Real Madrid, clearly just trying to copy Real Salt Lake. 

I think he was supposed to come off for a change, but saw Schwartz steaming ahead with the left defenseman down below the face-off dot in the offensive zone. He either didn’t see McAvoy or didn’t think he could get over to prevent Schwartz from getting in alone so he didn’t come off and took a second to make Schwartz…

I know a lot of people are going to take satisfaction and glee from this because of Marchand’s previous actions. But keep in mind.... just kidding, fuck that guy.

American forward Megan Rapinoe, she of the most shameful goal celebration when she reacted to doing something awesome on the world’s biggest stage with the DISGUSTING acts of running around and smiling

International competition seems like a place where there is a pretty big gulf between competitors in some cases. If I go play basketball with my eight year old, and every time I hit a layup I run at her screaming about how I threw it down IN HER FACE, I’m kind of a tool. Rapinoe’s crazy sliding airplane spinning thing…

Also uniquely American: The number of straw-man arguments in this thread about goal differential when the issue that the majority of critics, and the one discussed in the actual post above, has way more to with how the USWNT, Rapinoe perhaps most egregiously, behaved after scoring some of those later goals.

Shockingly, Rapinoe seemed to treat this very grave and important matter as if it were a silly little issue worthy only of her laughing dismissal

A distinction without a difference. Mumblefuck is mumblefuck regardless of the source.

You’re right, the issue of showboating and gloating is never brought up in the context of men’s professionalsports.

Hey, glad they won! I’m not opposed to running up the score because goal differential is the first tie breaker and if they let up at 6-0, there’s no reason to think Sweden wouldn’t try and win 7-0.

I like this story because in a way it’s uniquely American. It’s about sporting excellence, pride in your accomplishments and not even pretending to understand the concept of moderation.

This reminds me of what my father used to tell me about good sportsmanship... “Don’t be such a baby. I’ll make it to the next game.”
