TBF I have never heard anybody use the phrase “Occam’s razor, bitches.” I’ve heard a shortened version of that phrase, but that's it.

Good to know there aren't any obvious deterrents to reporting crimes in Brazil.

The team that spent 120 minutes trying to get to the lottery won. The team that was determined to leave nothing to chance, lost.

It’s okay! It’s sports! It would be dumb if the best won all the time. Why should you get fuck-nothing for being 90% as good as the ones that get everything? This is how sportsing works. You…

Right. “ins the most games.”Not, “just won the last game.”

Sweden is not better than Brazil, because Brazil wins more games than Sweden.

Sure you are!

This is why we have some sports and competitions with more randomness than others.

I'll happily concede that the scoreboard is all that matters as long as you concede that this will often lead to the best team not winning.

More like, he got a few booboos that need to be fixed, AMIRITE GUYZZZ!!

(attempts soccer celebration in basement, tears ACL, etc. etc.)

This is pretty much the internet favorite thing to inflict on everyone.

You use of the term “meathead” specifically takes me back to high school, where our nationally ranked football team...

Lets just say that I have gobs of anecdotal evidence that sportsing celebrity is inversely correlated with smartsing.

Out of curiosity, compete for smartest or dumbest?

Reminds me of an NHL survey, apparently a good portion of them don’t know who Paul McCartney and John Lennon are and were. The degree of sheltering athlete are given from the real world is astonishing.

That said, being a not-poor white American is quite the blissfully…

They are all-time greats, but none of them have dominated for as long as Bolt. If any of them go unbeaten over two events, for three separate Olympics + two World championship cycles, along with GOAT-level peak performances, then they’ll have a case. At the moment, it looks like only Ashton Eaton has a realistic shot…

Athletics has hurdles, and what, 4 different jumping events? You could feasibly compete in both sprinting events , long jump, and triple jump. That’s 4 individual events, which is basically the max that any swimmer can really attempt. The most Phelps ever attempted is five.

If freestyle was the only event in swimming,…

I present the following takes on each of the biggest Olympic sports:
1) The greatest swimmer of all time has probably just completed his last competitive laps. He’s so great that, since cementing his status at the undisputed GOAT of swimming, he has gone on to have another GOAT-level career of 9 gold/4 individual…

That is not at all what happened, unless you consider taunting to be an equivalent to applauding an opponent. I didn’t recall one tweet that was negative toward the USMNT.

That is not taunting. Taunting would be more like what you have been doing in this thread.

She has that mentality, yet she looks like a kid just fucking around on her trampoline.

They hired another coach that led them to (arguably more) international glory (than Pia even managed), so by your own logic, the USWNT hiring process was both incorrect and correct. “So-and-so happened to be the coach when her collection of superior athletes won a highly random, single elimination tournament” is not…

Of all the things to criticize, you're going to go with looking for another coach and Hope Solo's correct take?

She literally makes it look so damn easy. It’s like we are trapped in the imagination of an 8 year old who decided to start daydreaming about the Olympics and imagined herself just doing a bunch of insane stuff.

I don’t understand why people still want to see these comments ripped to shreds. The trolling is beyond obvious.
