Fuck, your article and the first comment I read completely miss the point: nobody disputes that the U.S. was justified in scoring as many times as possible, with goal differential being a factor in the standings. It’s about celebrating the 8th or 9th or 10th goal and beyond against an outclassed, clearly dispirited…

Canadians find Americans a bit boorish. In other news, French spectators find German fans overly stern. 

Somewhere in Russia, someone has written a porno about a conquering hero named Vladimir whose mighty prehensile dong enables him to slay many Yankees.

Of all people, you’re surprised that this guy abstains from being a swinger when he encounters another dude in an unfamiliar position?

People think running a hotel or bar in a busy tourist area is easy money, but most of them don’t realize that you’re chipping off 10% to the weather guy right from the start.

I look at it a different way. When the refs ‘put away their whistle’ at the end of March, it makes the NHL a league where two different sports are played, hockey for most of the year, and then when it counts ‘playoff hockey’, where a chunk of the rules are invalid.

Ronaldo threatens to have a woman cut up and thrown in a river but never once hugged Bale.

They looked good last night. But long term without Kawhi Leonard, they will struggle to compete.

Making Latinos Boring

Robert McNamera sure didn’t.

I never bought Butler’s tough-guy image. Those earrings, that hair, that ridiculous canoe-tipping incident - I always knew he was a Gurley man.

My favorite call-in was my Dad’s. There was an NFLer that graduated from one of the big schools and it got out that he was illiterate (I don’t recall who it was, this must have been before James Brooks though, because I was definitely a kid.) Anyway, the whole show was about what a scandal it was and how it was…

Um, if it had nothing to do with the city, then why is the T-Rex short for Torontosauras Rex, idiot.

Yo la tengo!

Normally I’m live-and-let-live about most things. Tastes differ and it’s all cool to me. But for some reason I can’t stop myself being judgemental about people who like Ridley Scott or Tarantino. And as that’s rather a large bunch of people, I try to keep my dislike fairly quiet, until something riles me up enough to…
