Firestone Walker’s Pivo Pils and Victory’s Prima Pils are my two favorite American pilsners.

This seems like a good time to revisit Pat Metheny’s thoughts on Kenny G:

“Why did almost every single black person I know grow up with more Kenny G than John Coltrane?” Really? I’m sort of shocked by this. Not so much by the Coltrane thing, but by the predominance of Kenny G.

Your user name is <<chef kisses fingers>>. I wanted to like Forster, but he’s just not good. Can’t believe he was in the mix as a potential England keeper. Anyway, its hard to dispute what you’re saying here, but at least the club had an identity and the club’s historic rise was related to that identity.

The Chinese billionaire who owns my favorite team (Southampton) seems to be trying to do the opposite. He’s got a highly valuable asset currently on its way to the Championship, but with the right amount of neglect, it could be a solid 2d Division side.

By the way, FORZA ROMA!!! What an amazing result. I hope they win the tournament.

Two-legged tournament matches decided on an aggregate score are called “ties.” IDK why. But they are. The header won the tie for Roma even though the aggregate score was 4-4 because of the away goals rule. Sorry, this explanation is probably even more confusing than the original sentence which used the very awkward

Sorry, but who the fuck cheers for Lester Burnham? I thought he was pathetic the first time I saw that movie and still do. I could be wrong, but I don’t think Mendes was really trying to create a character we could root for. Everyone in the movie, with the exception of the neighbor kid, is terrible.

That’s fair (that his mistake caused us to drop the game to CR), but Cameron at least had the balls to own that failure in his essay. You ever hear Arena do anything but push the players under the bus? I mean, I guess I heard some “buck stops here” bullshit, but, in the main, all he’s done since this disaster is blame

What the hell is wrong with these people?

Nah, dude. That’s Stanley Tucci, who is starring in the new adaptation of Harry Crews’ “Body”. Jokes aside, a great, hilarious, dark novel.

The dude playing Aunt Vicki’s dude is a dead ringer for Trump campaign funder and walking bag of anus cancer, Robert Mercer. Also, the remake of this movie is a pile of hot garbage compared to the original, which is a pile of delicious cotton candy.

When he’s bad, he’s really bad. I guess that’s it. He has had spells in his international career where he’s been hard to watch. I think, most recently, that was down to bad team selection decision by Klinsman. When he can sit back in the midfield, break up play and then push it forward to his technically superior

This was a great read on a great player. Thx.

Wonder the same thing about Luis Robles, who is not young, but still among the best in the domestic league.

Now playing

I worked at CNN in video playback and production in the mid-90's and every year the control staff would put together a blooper reel. They’re all worth watching but I think I may have been personally responsible for a couple of the fuck ups in this one:

Oh my god, I’ve watched a lot of news bloopers, but I’ve never seen this one, which is my new favorite by far. Its so fucking obvious and yet, still horrifyingly hilarious when the structure collapses. Thanks for sharing. This is the best.

Is it just me, or does the USMNT keeper situation suddenly seem kind of dire?

Good for her. This bit in your article is really confusing:

Roasted tomato is kind of standard on the English/Scottish breakie.  The breakfast pictured above (the tasty one, not that abortion Becks had for dinner) looks Scottish AF.
