I agree. She did play well, but as you said Thomis was a tough act to follow. Lavogez should have played, but not instead of Thomis. She certainly did not deserve her tragic end.

The French coach had some very questionable subs, namely LaVogez for Thomis. Thomis was one of the more creative players on the field for France, and she was taken out for no real reason and replaced with LaVogez. It felt to me like France lost some of its momentum after this, and it was not surprising that they ended…

Can you guess which years Lebron was on Spoelstra’s team?

He got the team to the finals, only to be undone by a very unlucky plague of injuries (depends if you fault him for Kyrie’s knee). Obviously, Lebron’s part in the run to the finals was key and instrumental, but Blatt certainly did his part (his defensive schemes deserve some credit).

I’ll tell you something about Klinsi. The man has gotten some pretty amazing and impressive results in friendlies, and he had a great showing in the previous Gold Cup (albeit by riding the coattails of Donovan), and in qualifying for the last World Cup (although Costa Rica probably should have finished first, due to…

Klinsmann has accomplished a lot of things that his predecessors have not. To name a few:

Seriously, you are posting these guys’ real names?

I know this. I meant to write: So Guzan may see the field again this season

So Guzan may yet see the field this season.

Howard’s game has improved recently.

Shibboleth has two meanings in the bible, one “a stream” as you wrote, the other “an ear of corn”. I’m not sure if it’s possible to determine which is intended in the famous passage in Judges. Anyway, til this day in modern Hebrew “shibboleth” signifies “ear of corn” (not “maize”, but “wheat”).

“vāgināe” is the nominative plural or the singular dative or genitive. The nominative singular is “vagina”.

It’s not. I would study this group and see if I can find anything that will explain why they have such a high inclination towards crime. Perhaps I will find that it is just a coincidence. Perhaps I will find that their is a reason. For instance, if I find that people commit crimes because they are poor, then I will…

“It presumes, for example, that if I am born in America, or if one of my parents is American, I should think that certain forms of speech, however ugly, should be legal. This is not the case in other countries. Many nations have laws against Holocaust denial”

Your example is faulty. No-one would argue that the entire city should be arrested. However if ten guys from your city committed similar crimes, where should we turn our attention to? your city, or the city next to it?

They deserve due process anyways.

Hey Mikey,

You have certainly decided to downplay the Islamic aspect of the Tsarnaevs’ case.

Words are helpful. Was this just a bombing by two lone individuals or was it an Islamist terrorist attack? There are implications one way or the other.
