Colombia is great but as you said, they might not send their best. Costa Rica had an incredible World Cup but that was two years ago which is a lifetime in international soccer. Paraguay hasn’t beaten a top-40 team in four years. We’ve got home field advantage against both. We should advance.

I couldn’t tell where the ball went; it sure sounded like a foul ball before the bomb. But regardless, viva la difference!

The contrast in sound between the ball he hit previously? That’s just so cool.

Agreed on all counts. It’s weird to look back on it but there was *no* controversy at all about Boyz in the Hood, Thelma and Louise and My Own Private Idaho not getting nominated for best picture. The first two absolutely would’ve made the cut if the films were being selected in 2016 and not just because of the…

That was a tough category. Any one of the nominees would’ve been deserving that year (I vaguely remember Bette Midler doing wonderful work in “For the Boys.”

I don’t know anyone who’s talked about or seen Bugsy since it…

Or that Midtjylland hadn’t played a competitive match in two months? Christ. Here’s vid of what you’re talking about. Players get what’s going down and they don’t know whether to approach so they just kind of stand at a distance. For a United hater, it’s beautiful to watch.

Every time I want to leave Gawker, I’ll read something like this and realize I’m not going to read anything like it anywhere else. Just a great piece.

46:45 I’ve seen about twenty times over the last few days and I still am just fucking dumbfounded. Jesus, what a dunk.

When I look at the stars, I’ll be thinking of this comment.

Needs to be out of the grays and starred, dammit.

It’s good to see him doing well. Not great to see he’s still in bad company, however.

That debate was much, much better than the one’s previous; better questions, better moderators, better and more informative exchange between the candidates.

That was hilarious.

Oh shit. +96

If Hillary gets the nomination come November, you should totally write-in Nader. You’ll be the edgiest family member at the Thanksgiving table, bar none.

Evil always wins.
