As an American, I am actually sort of glad he’s doing this. Since we’re basically stuck with the role of making the difficult foreign policy decisions, it’s important to have someone on our side to play “good cop”, and I’d trust the Canadians to do that over anyone else in the world.

Here’s where I have doubts, though - kids need to learn to get headers without banging skulls with other players, or the ground. If they don’t learn this skill at 9, 10, 11, it’s not as if they’ll be able to start at 12 or 13 and do it flawlessly. The learning curve will still be there, except now their potential…

For instance, controlled studies revealed that many non-verbal people who use facilitated communication often type with one finger or with their eyes closed or looking away from the keyboard—which is an an impossible task. Even professional typists can’t do it (they need to be able to position their hands on the “home…

Either than or they can him publicly, wait for the heat to die down, and hire him back with a little bonus.

Of all the ridiculous trick plays I’ve seen highlighted here recently, this has to be the most ridiculous, trickiest of them all. “No biggie, I’m just going to no-look, end-over-end this straight to a guy in coverage in the end zone.”

“Oops, I have to study for an English test Monday! Can’t let sports get in the way of academics in the life of an amateur student-athlete!”

his story of receiving a full scholarship to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point has been revealed as a fabrication.

“Talent-laden” also makes it sound like the talent is a burden, which is actually probably correct.

This is it, really. If you don’t like it but you keep watching, if you keep buying merch and otherwise supporting the system, you are part of the problem.

“What Lucas originally intended” changes every time he tells the goddamn story. The truth is, he wanted an adaption of Kurosawa’s The Hidden Fortress, but in space, and the whole thing ballooned from there.

Fun fact: it means almost the exact opposite thing in the UK as it does in the US, yet neither meaning fits with how Draper used it here.

You misspelled “miss, breaking my ankle in the process.”

Hint: Europe wasn’t the area that would be able to support it.

Several coaches offer courses in football related topics. I’m not a lawyer and haven’t read the complete NCAA rules for fun, but I’m pretty sure that’d be an effective loophole for some off the field instruction.

Reverse question: why can’t someone put together a pro-style offense in college?

Perhaps you’re right that abuse isn’t the right word for it, but the team needs to feel like the manager is on their side. When they’re being knocked in the press for sucking, players want to feel like he’s on their side. I think this is where the “not naming names” strategy is backfiring: everyone knows some of the…

It’s probably a confluence of factors - players tired of his abuse, other teams adapting to Chelsea’s style, loss of the hunger for titles. It falls almost entirely on Mourinho because, until he’s getting secret commands from the owner to make bad decisions, it’s the manager’s job to train and motivate the team. If…

I don’t understand how people being willing to sleep with you says anything about people being willing to sleep with me.

He’s also assuming that rule changes meant to prevent dangerous tackles actually succeed. It’s possible that (for example, I don’t have data to back this up) fear of violating rules about helmet contact discourages wrap tackles and encourages hard hits.
