Hey bud, best of luck in your class. I've taught public speaking in graduate school and I see firsthand how people improve after experiencing that initial anxiety.

Why not give the voodildo to a female friend, or your romantic partner?

I'm no Liverpool supporter, but it does surprise me a little that the club didn't go after a striker (not named Ricky Lambert) in the window. Someone like Immobile, who, despite his namesake, is quick as hell, or even Chicharito. It would be a pale shadow of a guy who doesn't cast one, but at least it's an attempt to…

It is... (I'll use the term "ironic" to describe it) ironic that UEFA's alteration of the rules for Champions League seeding will help PSG more than any other side, after coming down with their rough punishments for FFP violations. It looks like a reward for the exact kind of behavior you're describing, especially…

Damn, this is like Napoleon and Boxer all over again.

Kid's a pretty good dribbler—but what kind of Tory doesn't support cutbacks?

This is coming from a guy who thinks Kick It Out is protocol for the skets [sic?] in his own life.

Blessing in disguise for United—Rooney misses the upcoming Everton and Chelsea matches, and the team won't be so unbalanced. (And no, this isn't a fat joke about Wayne Rooney.) (Okay, it is.)

Gotta love the woman holding the banner and grasping for the players as they fall, instead of, you know, letting go of the fucking banner.

This is sad news. When my friends and I used to play Madden as the Titans, we would sing Rob Bironas' name to the tune of "My Sharona."

Think he made up for it on this drive. 63-yard one-handed catch.

I'm assuming he won't be traded to the Cowboys, because they don't beat anybody.

Roger Goodell didn't believe Hurns caught those TDs until reading this post.

Well yeah, Ray Rice never killed a guy.

DOUBLE LAUDRUP

Plus, those are the only things white enough to satisfy Cardinals fans.

That pitch invader during the Ghana game was a Nazi. Call me crazy, but I'm anti-hugs for Nazis.

England played with Liverpool's midfield and attack—minus Suarez—and conveniently ignored that Liverpool shipped 51 goals. Then they played against Suarez, who scored 31 goals (in 32 games). Recipe for disaster.

If my name were Bartolo Colon Cleansing, I'd refrain from throwing stones about others' ridiculous monikers.

An additional benefit: This result most likely produces a Chile/Brasil knockout round match, which should be a terrific game.
