Probably my favorite game of all time. I can't believe I had to scroll down this far to see someone list it.

Or maybe someone who wanted to make it easy for Liverpool to transfer him.
I know you're pointing out the unfortunate word choice — but the statement is actually really bad, and reflective of a 'reporter' that basically doesn't report but simply makes stuff up (turning 'assumption' into fact) and thinks its OK as long as nobody points it out. To me it's clear that King is covering up for his…
"Listen Peter, I know we said we saw the video — and we did — but now we're going to say we didn't, because, well, now people have seen it and we can't use it to insinuate a bullshit self-defense claim. So we're going to need you to say that you fucked up and turned a third-party 'assumption' [wink, wink] into factual…
Agreed. We've gotten to the point that giant action sequences are the most bland and interchangeable parts of movies.
"... more free labor from the best and the brightest ..." ?
Still, credit to Maradona for saying something sensible for once.
Yeah, this "arguably the best player never to play in a World Cup" idea is a big understatement. There's not a close second in that category. The actual argument is whether he was in fact the best player ever. It seems the only reason he's not (usually) in the conversation is the lack of international exposure that…
Even more reason for an article. I've always been interested in the IRIAF Tomcats.
Doesn't this guy realize that his registration of the mark immediately *removes* the name from any potential consideration by the Washington team and the NFL? Surely the first criterion for potential names is their availability for the team to solely control. Do these people think the team or the NFL would engage in…
Yeah, he just needs a tattoo of a scary Yeti-type monster with horns and bloody claws to round it out. See, that *is* what he meant all along!
I came across this almost a year after you posted, and I have to congratulate you on your prescience.
Pronunciations change over time, often differently among regions. Especially with foreign loan words. Unless you are pronouncing every letter in "knight," I wouldn't get too uppity about it.
They should just bring back the original Willard Scott version.
Size-wise that is more likely a Utahraptor — which makes sense. Ronnie would prefer an American ride to an import from Mongolia.
Fan-poseurs and casual sort-of-fans are a necessary evolutionary step to true fans. And even if they don't continue to evolve, they create an environment that allows and welcomes neophytes and newcomers. There are plenty of people who would profess to being a fan of an NFL team but not know much about the sport or…
Yes, it's Barclays Premier League or "BPL". I notice that NBC in its coverage is always conscious of using the correct corporate-partner-branded name. (After all, Barclays paid a lot of money for it.) While everybody knows what you're talking about "EPL" is not an official name of the league.
Yeah, that's what I would assume too (by "Gerrard" he meant "Giroud"). I for one feel like I know how to pronounce French words and names in my head, but I tend to mangle them in the actual speaking.
I get why the quenelle is offensive based on the views of its inventer/popularizer and the seeming "wink-wink" nature of the discussion of its meaning. However, I don't really get why people think it looks like a Nazi salute (or, as the article states, is "reminiscent of a Nazi salute"). It looks like what elementary…
