"I don't know why he got in trouble for that. I was always told that guys should get their prostrate checked out at least once a year."

This also happened in a U-20 World Cup game a few years back:

Not gonna lie, I still have this song on my iTunes list.

Welp, looks like everyone's playing for second.

Anyone know Courtney Love's number? She's apparently pretty good at solving these types of cases....

I give the kid credit. If you're going to drink mustard, drink it with great relish.

This has been "Hot Takes with untitled". Come back next week for more unprovoked opinions!

One of the most exciting hockey games I've seen in recent years was a Rangers-Devils game that was 0-0 after overtime. Both goalies and teams were on fire that night. I actually remember feeling upset that one of the teams actually had to win the game in a shootout (the Rangers won).

I remember reading an article in ESPN: The Mag a long time ago that computed a pitching performance with an overall score (some combo of Ks, BBs, hits, earned runs, pitch count, and maybe some other stuff). In the end, they concluded that Wood's 20K game and Sandy Koufax's perfect game are by far the two best pitching…

France and the Netherlands are the Dallas Cowboys of this World Cup.

It's shocking that something like this would happen.

Good effort, but the Finnish left something to be desired.

They weren't the exact same dirty play. Watch the replay, Perry makes contact with Benn's thigh (doesn't excuse the act, but still...). Lucic went full-force, from behind, and right to DeKeyser's coin purse. Much dirtier, IMO.

This happened in every NHL postseason until 1994. I find it odd that people are so up in arms about good teams being eliminated early, since it happened all the time in the 80s (just ask anyone who got stuck in the Oilers' division) and few people made a big fuss over it. If anything, it just made the series more…

You can tell these kids, even at a high level, still have much to learn.

This could have something to do with the Crew's absolutely atrocious TV deal they made with TWC (which effectively prevents about 70% of their fanbase from watching the games). My guess is that this may have possibly been an attempt at sabotage from some fans.

There was another popular wrestling bear around that time named Terrible Ted that worked up in Western Canada. Bret Hart wrote in his book that Ted would often be kept under the porch at his family's house.

Vin Scully gets first dibs.

In Mother Russia, that ass smacks you.
