That’s what I thought! I was going through the comments to figure out if anybody else heard that.

Agreed.

Ronaldinho is in Mexico now?

Interesting. Thanks.

I’m being a devil’s advocate here, but I can’t resist asking : is there a universal, culturally-neutral definition of the term “bribery”? I would think that what gets called “bribery” in the USA might be called “how business gets done” in other parts of the world. I mean, I like the USA’s definition (assuming it gets…

The sad thing is, many people reading this don’t know who Carnac was.

You ought to look up the video of Luis Suarez having a Skype session with a young cancer-stricken fan in Uruguay. It was about a week ago. I’m not a Suarez fan but it was really heartwarming - you could see from Suarez’s expression that it wasn’t just a image burnishing thing.

I was wondering about that too. I was thinking, “1993?! That guy lasted a lot longer than I remember.”

Eddie Murphy! Fuck you!

Compared to Arturo Vidal.

Badstuber wouldn’t have mattered. He’s not quite as much of a liability as his cousin, Awfulstuber, but he’s not good enough to affect this match. Alaba might have helped, though.

Neuer was brilliant...but he was a fool to restart play so quickly for the first goal. Half his team was still whining to the referee.

It’s a bit of a different situation with the African guys, though, because their families are absolutely destitute most of the time. I doubt Kosar’s family would have died of hunger or malaria if it hadn’t been for Bernie.

He was pretty good for Arsenal at one point, though an on-form Fabregas could make virtually anybody look good.

I think you’re quibbling with details. My point is that the selling point of college is NOT “grow as a person and gain knowledge of the universe.” Shit, you can get a job as a bartender or join the Army or go on a religious mission for four years if personal growth is what you’re after. College is where you go to get…

Agreed - I’m pretty sure Alan Dershowitz (pre-OJ) was one of his lawyers.

I’m not a boxing fan so I’m out of my depth here, but I’m not sure if it was “loved watching Tyson” fight as much as it was “were morbidly curious about what he was going to do, because anything could happen.” Knock somebody out in 80 seconds? Get knocked out by some lardass? Bite somebody’s ear off? Threaten to eat…

There was also a time when Universities didn’t cost $300,000.

Personally though, I think the 3-6-1 is the superior formation

I think she should marry a white guy so her followup album could be called The Miscegenation of Lauryn Hill.
