As penetrable as the wall probably is, someone who’s planning a climbing trip and says they’ve done a lot of climbing probably exceeds most reasonable people’s definition of novice.

Maybe her husband isn’t in this contest with her.  

Wait, so who could see? Is this daycare in Amsterdam, Bangkok, or Tijuana?

It’s more to decrease the chances that a collective “Who the fuck is this guy?” gets picked up on the field mics during introductions.

Pool is definitely better than ocean or lake, because you can actually see the bottom and anyone who goes down there, so it’s a lot less stressful. I never walked away from a shift at the pool wondering if anyone had drowned but no one had realized it yet.  

More importantly, they make them. Can you imagine how much LeBron’s signature shoes would cost if they had to pay a living wage, provide a safe work conditions, or follow environmental standards?

If UEFA cares as much as they say they do, they need to step in and actually do something. If they’re getting racist taunts or gestures from a section, stop the game and remove everyone in that section from the stadium. Fine the club $1000 per spectator removed; that should easily pay for the extra stewards. If you…

Let’s hear LeBron’s educated opinion on the matter at hand, which is the mission toward democracy and independent rule in Hong Kong, not the effect that supporting democracy has on your cashflow from China. Although perhaps this should bring to light the NBA’s relationship with China, which probably is worth talking…

They should have specific themed rounds. Round 11 you have to draft a guy with a funny name. Round 17 picks get their heads shaved live on WWE Network. 26 is for guys with face tattoos. You have to trade your 29th round pick to another team for an inanimate object. Round 31 you have to draft a family friend. Round 45…

I have no doubt that this would often be called defensive holding, but I fall to see what the defender is supposed to do. He legally engaged about two yards from the line of scrimmage, and from that point on Kelce has both hands on him driving him backwards, until he goes to the ground. Kelce makes zero effort to…

It easily could have been a two or more score game in Houston’s favor. They killed the clock deep in KC territory when they were pretty much driving at will. They almost certainly could have tacked on another score if they were interested.  

Do it. Cut down to 30 teams, six divisions. Three Wild Card slots per conference. Each team plays division opponents home and away, and each division plays two other divisions on a rotating basis. There’s your 18 game schedule.

If you want to enhance flavor without just dousing everything in sugar a little fish sauce and red chili oil is great. Yes, there’s some sugar in the fish sauce, but I’d prefer my vegetables not to remind me of IHOP.

The narrative that he only threw it because he saw the flag seems misguided. The replay doesn’t show any flag thrown anywhere on the screen as it pans by, and it looks like the ref is reaching for his pocket well after the ball is thrown. He certainly may have seen the contact and assumed a flag would be thrown, but I…

“He should be in prison for what exactly? Buying drugs illegally?”

It was about three plays in before an OU offensive lineman blasted a Texas defender into the OU bench about five seconds after the whistle, right between three officials. No call, of course. But what I was really hoping for was an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on a coach or the bench, just to see how that would be…

It’s not even an M, which is why it looks nothing like a W upside down. I’m all for a nod to the team’s history, like the tricolor pinwheel hats, but the logo should be allowed to die.

No great loss.  Reading Splinter was like volunteering for a Dutch Oven.

You probably forgot to split the leftover sauce packets with your date.  That's why she's not answering your calls.

They’ve probably had this in their back pocket for a while, but waited until a high leverage situation to use it. You don’t exploit your opponent’s Achilles heel the first chance you get.  You get one chance to take advantage, so make it count.
