Everybody in the UK is required to play soccer and is stuck in regimented divisions; failure to comply results in a mandated visit to Room 101*. Deadspin will cover any developments that happen in the 6th to 498th divisions.

I don’t understand why Crowder has a problem with it. It’s nothing personal. Boston fans just likee players like Heyward. Those sort of Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, John Havlicek types. You know, with that Bob Cousy determination and Dave Cowens fight.

The Prestige TV Show Hot Take Economy is extremely bad and dumb, but so is arguing that the way that we talk about and depict our world in fiction is irrelevant and not worth talking about in general.
