Say what you will but they have a perfectly respectable 6 - 3 record in imaginary match ups with Alabama.

Every American sports league would be improved if they embraced promotion and relegation.

Brady’s first game will be in Week 5 against the Cleveland Browns.

Don’t be this guy. If you picked the wine, don’t send it back unless it’s gone bad. (It hasn't). If your server reccomended the wine, only send it back if it’s really, really, not good (it isn’t) or if your server completely misrepresented the wine, e.g. he told you it was sweet and it’s dry (and if you’re actually…

Wait, really? I think “goals change games” deserves to be celebrated in the annals of incisive sports commentary.

“I, like most sane sports fans, only sort of half-watched the U.S.-Ecuador”

You seem like you would be a terrible friend. For a number of reasons.

And this is one of the few times I feel confident making such a statement based on a single internet comment.

“Our apologies to the Ali family, Veterans of all foreign wars, and animal lovers all over the world.”

No, it’s not. It’s not how guys talk to each other. It’s how insecure MMA-loving flat-billed hat wearing dudebros talk to each other. Most of us have read a book or talked with someone different from us or read two books and come to our conclusion that that sort of shit just isn’t funny.

Sean McDonough is awesome and a great choice. An upgrade, frankly, over Tirico.

One of the most fun things to do is to ruin everybody’s night at the karaoke bar by performing a haunting rendition of a Radiohead b-side, perhaps like Myxomatosis or You and Whose Army?

I thought Tunsil handled himself very well in the interviews he did after the draft. He didn’t lie or try to deny anything. He didn’t get angry or try to blame someone else. He didn’t even seem bitter or upset that he probably lost several million dollars. He admitted it was him, said it was mistake, said he was happy…

I know this will never come out of the greys and I don’t intend to come across as argumentative, but honestly - because you never saw those things you think it shouldn’t bother people?

I’d criticize school staff for not seeing through the ruse, but in all fairness, nobody’s ever met a 30-year-old from South Sudan.

High school officials had their suspicions piqued when they overheard Johnathon discussing how he feels that although Nels Cline has been an amazing addition to Wilco, he just had not like the direction the band had been heading towards until Star Wars. But, man oh man, what an amazing return to glory. And it’s…

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST NECESSARY BLOGS TO HAVE EVER BEEN BLOGGED

I reasonably doubt that. I’d say a good 75% would know his anti-NAFTA position, because they share it. And, as far as immigration relates to economics, probably all of them, unfortunately, would know his position.

I agree with your points on Kristof and the press. It’s in the proud tradition of self-criticism as deflection.

This is like a bank asking for a bailout after all their executives mishandled millions in other peoples’ money. Like that would ever happen!
