I’m always hesitant to comment on Ted Cruz’s mannerisms or awkward social interactions because they’re almost too strange and I don’t want to be the guy who calls someone who’s probably on the autism spectrum “a robot.”  That, and his political positions give you so many things to criticize.

I just read the entire Donner Party Wikipedia page. I thought maybe it might be one of those revisionist history situations, where George Dinner was actually a good leader who got unlucky. Spoiler: he was indeed terribly incompetent. Still feels unfair to compare him to Dan Snyder though.

Tom clearly looked up a state about the same size as England, not the whole of the UK or the island of GB. As there are no teams in the FA in Scotland, and Scotland is bloody massive, I can’t really fault this approach. Man U ain’t playing away to John o’Groats FC anytime soon. However, there are are Welsh teams in…

Doesn’t the hard cap and salary floor make this argument moot? Teams have to spend money to reach the floor, and the hard cap incentivizes teams to try to poach young RFAs from teams with cap issues. If teams colluded to drive down the cost of young talent, theyd’d just end up spending it on older players. Granted,…

Because he reminded absolutely no one of Tim Duncan on defense? Which is kind of a problem for a center. It’s crazy that Luka can be such a limited defender and still be miles better than Trae and DeAndre when you consider position and whether a guy can be hid. Jaren Jackson should have finished third tbh

Grey pride woot!

Are you a Nets fan trolling?

Dave Loggins "Please come to Boston"

Before they got relegated in 2015-2016, Villa had spent only 1 season outside the top flight since 1975. To remember when they weren’t a fixture of the Premier League or old First Division you would have had to have been old enough to remember watching Pelé. Or have watched Cruyff and Holland lose the ‘74 WC Final to…

The late Wake Forest coach in the story went by Skip Prosser. Skip wasn’t his legal name, but it wasn’t Dave either. RIP Skip

Europeans often use “race” as a synonym for what Americans would consider an ethnicity or nationality. They speak of “the French race” and complain of racism “against Spaniards.” Probably a side effect of nearly everyone on the continent for thousands of years being what Americans would consider “white” and yet…

You know what... I starred this.

There are few things more Boston than rooting for all of the teams except the Celtics because “For some reason, I never got into basketball.” How are the Celtics not a major team but the Bruins are? It’s not 1972 anymore. Boston, the single best reason to not fight climate change, since 1630!

Wait, didn’t an ESPN Insider subscription come with an automatic subscription the the magazine (at least for a while)? Was the reverse not also true? Were you paying to subscribe to the magazine, but not getting access to Insider?

Well this case is being tried in Oucaspipee County District Court, so...

Friendly reminder that through all the political uncertainty and chaos of Brexit, Woody Johnson is Trump’s ambassador to the UK. With Britain probably leaving the EU and maybe leaving it’s single market and customs union, the US and UK have a lot to figure out with regards to cooperation on a wide range of matters…

Admitting a new state doesn’t require a constitutional amendment. When has the US ever passed an amendment to admit a new state? I believe it’s usually done with just a simple majority of both houses and a presidential signature like any other bill.

The image on his laptop is for a Maharashtra State Motor Driving License. Maharashtra is the state in India that includes Mumbai. I doubt anyone in the U.S. would accept any foreign identification that isn’t a passport for anything (at least not if you’re brown).  He is probably coordinating with a cousin or friend…

I am always amazed at the extent to which law students and lawyers will spend hours splitting hairs on all manners of bullshit minutiae relating to the law as seen through the prism of legal education, but no one will take the 5 minutes necessary to do something resembling actual legal work and google the relevant…

The million or so Uighurs being held in concentration camps in China say hello! Amazing that King James can find time to criticize the Mango Mussolini (who almost no one who supports the NBA likes anyway) and Nike can put Kaep in some vague-ass commercial but neither has that same energy for China’s myriad of human…
