I’m also a Spurs supporter, but other than the quirk that it happened at the Etihad against City (again), I really don’t see why VAR is controversial in this instance as this was a clear-cut violation of the new handball rule.

I know times have changed, but I also if he would be so bold and so chatty if he knew who really supports the Teamsters. 

Yeah, the place was probably wiped, but if the FBI is truly interested in a legitimate criminal investigation, there are three reasons for cautious optimism.

If you think about it QAnon is the perfect graft thanks to the stupidity of the MAGAtards.

“... while we agree on some issues, we strongly disagree about many others ...”

I’ve heard versions or this line once or twice. When I asked for elaboration and clarification, the gobbly gook that followed was so incoherent and confusing I just sat in silence for a few seconds and changed the subject.

This is such an interesting case because I think this is one of the first fact patterns where the women hold all the cards and the gender power dynamic overwhelming favors them. And its especially interesting to see how feckless the USSF is conducting themselves when up against the USWNT’s aggressive moves in this…

Seems like the LoCelso and Sessegnon deals will happen tomorrow (the North London flight wasn’t LoCelso). With Dybala I’m not sure. I’ve seen reports that the transfer fee and personal terms are agreed, with the third-party image rights needing to be sorted out, but who knows what’s true and what’s just noise. Would…

Geez, Brian. You said in the subject line that you hate crybabies. Stop acting like one.

He was stone cold sober. If he was drunk, his e-mails would have been coherent.

She should have replied: “I’d love to reciprocate Senator’s Paul’s generous offer, however, my staff cannot find any airline with direct or connecting flights to Dumbfuckistan.”

1. Anti-trust statutes are still on the books, but the DOJ hasn’t really enforced the law since the Microsoft case in the late 90's. This case also doesn’t appear to raise any anti-trust issues.

The most disappointing thing to me is that we’ve been heading in this direction since at least 2008, and probably as far back as 1996, but we’re just too dumb, immature, lazy, apathetic or whatever to do anything about it.

Dimestore quickie analysis:

Haha. ESPN gave LeBatard a multi-million dollar deal. There are trade-offs to that including some first amendment limitations in the workplace.

I knew people in Canada were much more polite than in the US but I didn’t know that defense attorneys did the prosecutors’ work for them.

I can’t speak for everyone, but the small handful of people who I know that are trapped in “bubbles” generally share three common characteristics:

As someone who went a long time between ending a relationship and dating again, I don’t think its a “red flag.” But I don’t consider dating histories relevant unless the relationship gets serious, and I’d only want to know so that I don’t hear it for the first time from someone else.

I’m not familiar enough with the EPA, but does the CBA really complicate things that much? I suppose it could fit under the catchall defense, i.e., the pay disparity is the result of a collectively-bargained agreement and not “sex,” but that sounds a bit similar to the “market forces” theory that has been rejected by…

This is the thing that drives me nuts.
