Bah. Our dog park buddy Teddy the Bi-Peddy doesn't need a radio station-sponsored event to haul ass:

Now everyone, enjoy watching these top 10 (and bottom 1) goals in whatever order your browser finally renders the animated gifs, no matter how fast your internet connection.

Please make the 2018 team all black.

I see Kamara's actions as respectful and courteous. He's like the parent who picks up the screaming child and gets them out of the movie theater, the only difference being that he's both the parent and the child.

I feel ya, but I'd bet dollars to donuts that determining which games are on ABC was all about the time slot rather than if the USA was playing. The USA games were mostly on weekday afternoons, and no way are ABC and its affiliates going to pre-empt their daytime talk show cash cows. On weekend days that's not an…

Point taken regarding Ballack not being on his country's team or coaching staff, but you're only half right about van Nistelrooy: the Dutch FA has hired him as the new assistant coach of their national team under Guus Hiddink, to take over as soon as this World Cup is over.

Slate's article is utterly frivolous, and I wish it'd been my idea because OMG is it funny to watch all those.

At first glance, I mis-read the line before the last tweet as "And yet, the league held back on Josh Groban," and thought, "Dear God, why? Let that crooning twerp have it!"

Our #2 keeper, Brad Guzan, is good enough to have started for plenty of teams at this World Cup. He had a tremendous year for Aston Villa in the English Premier League and was very solid for the USMNT in several games during the year or so leading up to the World Cup. He's 29, so he definitely has the inside track to…

You seem cool.

You gotta be worried about anybody who gets onto the pitch carrying that much stuff.

"Hey, when you have this much of an overbite, you can't help people running into it sometimes. I am the walrus! Coo-coo ka-choo!"

Hey sponsors/brands/corporate pencil necks: the posts you made Michelle Wie delete are the kind of thing that might have actually made me interested in watching golf.

Agreed. If Robben wasn't SUCH a histrionic Louganis-er I'd probably like him.

I kind of wanna see Diego Costa score for Spain and run past the stands doing a "shh" gesture. How American is that of me?

Dani Alves is trying to pick out his mom in the crowd.

Aww, good for them, conserving water. It's not easy being green.
