Well, the flipside of that is lesser head protection means more danger for both the player receiving the tackle and the one making it. No one leads with their head in rugby.

Troy Aikman would be insulted if he knew what any of those words meant/still had basic verbal capacity.

It’s that there are three teams in New York (a sports-loving city that only has two teams for other sports), and the Islanders have 1) the smallest natural fan base and 2) the worst geographic position. Moving to Brooklyn was an attempt to address both problems, but it’s not something that would change quickly.

Yeah. He earned himself a lot of unnecessary shots from outside the box that sail ten feet over the crossbar (aka the Michael Bradley special) with that.

Absolutely. I also find it interesting how the NBA is becoming (at least vocally) more liberal, in stark contrast to baseball and the NFL. 

There are lots, but I would recommend an Arabic autobiography from a slave in North Carolina: https://www.amazon.com/Muslim-American-Slave-Wisconsin-Autobiography/dp/0299249549

As a boy with Ivy League advanced degrees, I can honestly say that slamming into your friends like apes on the playground was really fucking fun.

Is your friend named Ivanka by any chance?

I would add all the people who defended Trump saying he wasn’t serious about the ban, that it was all bluster.

“I was just here for the lower taxes! Now I’m here for the white supremacy, too.”

You’re exactly right. Canadians would never doubt foreigners’ effort or heart.

Because “big government” just means the government doing something you don’t like. It’s like all the people who protest against government interference in Medicare.

You could start by not requiring a player that isn’t even on the active roster to sit out.

If by “actual connection to the US” you’re talking specifically about youth soccer, then yes. (Though Gedion Zelalem was picked up by Arsenal scouts while playing in Virginia.) But it’s not clear why that should matter. US coaches are charged with improving the NT’s play and the development system, but the latter only…

That is the episode I recommend for people who’ve never seen the show. (Followed by the welfare episode.)

Princeton is offended.

Dude, I paid $2000 for a four-bedroom (with a living room too) 100 feet from the subway in the 130s. Harlem is where it’s at.

I think you mean Pegasus. But honestly I think they all have big murals.

Um, she wants to make America great again? Keep up.

Actual conversation that happened between myself, my brother, and my 3-year-old nephew while flipping through a photo album.
