On that Kul, you guys in the states must pay basically zero alcohol taxes right? Here in Australia a slab of beer (24 375ml Cans) costs over $40 every time, even for the cheap crap stuff that no-one has heard of. A slab of VB or Carlton Draft, our basic domestic beers cost $49, but you can stumble across the odd weird…

Drew, I am almost certain I will not be alone on this take, you need to move ‘Gregggg Easterbrook Haughty Dipshit of the Week’ from Jambaroo over to the Funbag, not because it is not great in Jambaroo, but Jambaroo only runs for 21 or 22 weeks of the year (however long Footbaw Season is) whereas FunBag is 52 (minus…

the thing is they didn’t need to rig the scores to get the re-match on this one, we all would have bought it anyway, whoever they gave the win too, thats what makes it so annoying, it was a waste of a rort, there was no need for it

if Byrd had scored it 115-113 Canelo then I would have disagreed but could just about have accepted it. If she had scored it 118-110 GGG I would have thought it was lopsided, but figured if you gave every close round to GGG u could just about get there (though 117-111 would be about as high as I could go) The issue…

What is tragic about this though, is that despite it now being shown in big shiny bold glowing neon for all to see that Paul Ryan is, as Charlie Pierce has said for 8 years, the #BiggestFakeEver, the pathetic sycophants of the elite DC press will continue to preface all descriptions of Ryan with some form of ‘policy…

Plus his blogs comment section only posts approved by a moderator, that’s a kind of safe space too, right, at the very least it’s cowardly

‘who’s manipulated the system to her financial gain all the while milking the very system she derides.’

I’ve been torn on this issue for a long time. While I hate ref’s who act like the games all about them I also despise the spectacle of players surrounding the ref after a decision. I therefore wish just once a ref would send-off each player other than the captain who aggressively surround him after a penalty call. A…

Note the obsequious use of ‘Mister’ Trump. As an Aussie I find it pathetic how in US sport, players, coaches and even fuckn journos are obligated to always refer to the billionaire team owners as Mr every time. I’m telling u here in Australia it wouldn’t fly that someone would expect an honorific just because they are…

Isn’t that a dick move by Bird to tell the world Vogel spent half an hour begging for his job?

I’m not American and I don’t even live there so I am far from an expert, but under Bob Bradley I always thought the US team looked very good tactically and seemed to punch above their raw talent level. Yet it seems USMNT fans were forever complaining about him. Do US fans look at him with a bit better attitude now?

I just bought Four Days in November based on Drews recommendation and when I searched for the title on Kindle, 2 came up, that book and another called Five Days in November, by different authors but also about the Kennedy assassination.

If something gets a glowing recommendation from Chuck Klosterman I fail to see how that’s a good thing

And here I sit remembering all those talking heads telling me that Jindal was part of the GOP’s deep bench for this election cycle

In the year of Trump what’s the difference between politics and celebrity stuff?

This seems such an easy fix to me, if you foul a guy off the ball then the player with the ball gets to take the free throws. This removes intentional foul judgement calls

His entire strategy was to be the anti-Hillary while agreeing with her on everything, when Sanders came along with actual different policies, his entire reason to exist evaporated

With Rubio now doing just well enough for the media to get behind him, the Neo-Con Gazette, otherwise known as the Washington Post Op-Ed page is going to be unbearable

Grifters gotta grift

There is just sooooo much money in the new Premier League TV Deal that I really doubt a repeat of what happened to Leeds can happen today without overwhelming incompetence, plus Leicester don’t overspend anyway, not sure they’ll win the league but financially they’ll be fine I think
