Yes! Was wondering where the explication of what Group of Death means was. Thank you.

If the USA starts to compete seriously in international soccer, the world will truly get sick of us. World supercop/culture sledgehammer? If you must. Take our sports glory? FUCK YOU, USA!!

I can tell by your dispassionate, two-paragraph response. [eye roll]

Calm down. In absolute terms Ronaldo has a lot more international experience than most players. Portugal usually gets pretty deep, regardless of when they qualify.

Ok, 4 instances to 1, yeah, "usually."

Euro final, Euro semi-final, and WC semi-final and knock-out stage. How does he suck?

Groups A, D, and G: any of these for the group of death. Portugal vs. USA - that is going to be sweet!

This article is the final station stop before Gawker collapses into irrelevance. Calling out "racist" - the most amorphous, subjective label possible and one used only by the muddle-headed, is so anti-intellectual it pains me. But what else do you expect from a site that creates a female version of frat culture…

Actually, it's a meme to call him a "trader." But Boston-sports-hating Deadspin (trying to distance themselves from Grantland) uses a misleading headline implying a misspelling.

You cannot be serious.

More like the most disciplinarian commish ever had no cause to suspend because Spygate was an overblown pool of misinformation. Mangini, the smoking gun, said he regretted even bringing it up. The Patriots have been absolute heroes in the face of terrible accusations from know-nothings like you.

'Cause obviously you cheat up until the most important game of the year, and then lose it. Makes sense.

The Toss Sweep is undefensible in touch football.

This is the same paper that "enthusiastically" endorsed Obama for re-election. The Sunday Book Review sometimes only reviews 2 novels (the weekday reviews are much more straightforward).

Patriots rule. What a bunch of fun guys.

I don't follow. I wrote the sentence, not you. I can give my reason for not using a comma. You haven't written a sentence I criticised for its comma usage. Once again, I don't follow you.

What about pearl onions? Tiny balls of squishy vegetable goodness.

College is way more bittersweet than people let on or admit.

I'd never heard of Manti Te'o before this or really after. Let's not act like he was Peyton Manning. No one cares except the shaved rats at Deadspin.

Unnecessary commas are the hallmark of terrible writers.
