Three weeks into the season, the only thing that feels certain about the Premier League this year is that one of either Manchester City or Liverpool will win it.

We’re all dying every day. Use that as a reason to focus on living a full and happy life every day. You never know how many days you have left.

Hint: failures like this aren’t featured in big sports media pieces with in-depth interviews unless the guy goes out of his way to seek out and agree to big sports media pieces with in-depth interviews. He *wanted* his failure to be public because he thinks that’s the way to get another chance to fail again. He could…

The reason they give is “because they can be used by predators for purposes of exploitation”. Surely you can understand how a completely anonymous chat app with auto-deleting messages can easily be used by either children or people pretending to be children to have conversations about topics their parents wouldn’t…

There are still Kmarts and Radio Shacks around. A company can lose money for a long time, and presumably a lot of these stores have signed long leases with malls that would be more expensive to break than just limping along.

It’s pretty telling that Epic wouldn’t even *offer* the guy any other terms than sole exclusivity. If the game were on their store as well as Steam, they’d make money, he’d make money, Steam would lose future money compared to the status quo where that’s where everyone buys it now. But that’s not good enough for them.…

You’re not wrong about most of that, but the past five years has seen a dramatic explosion of triple-option-like concepts in the NFL. They just don’t call it that and aren’t as dogmatic about the formation as the service academies, but if an NFL coach is laughing at read-option/spread-option concepts that are in vogue…

The handball rule can be good or bad, but either way it is changeable, marginal, and self-contained. VAR is permanent, pervasive, and omnipresent. To think about which one is worse, try to image a world without one or the other.

reminiscent of how my parents did not want me to have a MySpace profile when I was 13.

Because the problem isn’t just Trump—the problem is Stephen Ross, too.

If you’re not registered to vote, go register to vote. Because gamers get affected when stupid leaders make stupid decisions.

If this all sounds like an unrelentingly gloomy picture of the Olympic Games, well, it is.

I think he’s got a few pictures still around in the country.

Yes, one of the many reasons this crap is so ridiculous is because it’s not remotely safe to be wearing an 11-year-old helmet anyway, especially if it’s taken 11 years of beatings. You would think the guy personally at risk for traumatic brain damage would care about a thing like that.

told Brown he hasn’t got a head to stand on here.

If you ask people what the biggest problem with basketball is right now, I think the most common answer you’d get by far is that rules that should be enforced (travelling) aren’t remotely being enforced, to the point of making a mockery of the game. Just saying.

Does anyone really believe a four-year degree is what separates an ethical person from a con artist?

none of what you’d just seen actually mattered because the video assistant deemed Raheem Sterling’s shoulder to have been a centimeter or two beyond the last defender’s shoulder, making him offside and annulling the goal.

This is how it works. This is how it has always worked. The Panthers consistently alternate, on annual basis, between being a legitimate contender and being a heap of ground-up otter meat.

It’s entirely possible that their star player insisting on using an 11-year-old helmet despite what were surely numerous attempts by training staff to get him to upgrade to a safer one was one of the factors leading them to trade the guy.
