I get your sentiment but “payroll flexibility” is management horseshit. If Moreno really wanted to add talent, then he can afford it to support Trout.

Without that context how else are you supposed to appreciate the magnitude of SCOTUS nominations?

I’m just happy that one of the last matches shown on ESPN was England’s meltdown against Iceland: after every bad pass, every puzzling Kane set piece, Macca and Ian Darke grew increasingly more enraged and were seething on air. Good times.

JP, eh? I cannot wait to share this legendary call with my grandkids

What exactly has the league "allowed" here? Players and teams signed deals as they pleased.

As someone who once took daily 45-minute rides on NJ Transit, only the most determined and insane lot would take the southbound train at 6 pm on a Wednesday to catch the Mets; it would be a fucking nightmare on an already crowded train filled with fatigued office drones.

I mean this is one of those games that where the Argentina’s coach was clearly responsible for what happened.

Truth hurts.

Don’t do meth, kids.

Michael Lewis, who’s spent some time with baseball players, once said that you can’t be too stupid to play baseball. Indeed.

In what city do you live that serves booze at a movie theater?

Our boys should be proud. And Shin needs to be sacked before the plane lands for completely parking the bus against Sweden as though they were fucking OG Ronaldo’s Brazil.

The canine entered the room to sweep for the presence of any explosive material. As the sweep took place the WWE employee was accidentally bit by the canine.
