By "American beer" you mean beer produced in mass quantities by large national and multinational companies and sold to the masses at WalMart.

So I assume you'd say the same if true about NFL refs (who get overturned more than MLB umpires), NBA refs (who would if there were full-blown replay) and NHL refs (same).

That call was incredibly close at second base, so close I don't see how they decided to overturn it. To suggest that any human being in real time, with only one angle and no second chances (unlike the announcers and viewers at home who can scream, "That's a terrible call!" and then eat their words 10 seconds later)…

The same could be said of any sport: The casual fan certainly isn't going to "get" what makes baseball exciting to a lot of people. To most people football (the U.S. version) is three hours of huddles and timeouts with a smattering of 5-second plays interspersed.

Gee, if only there were an article one could read that made that EXACT POINT:

Do you REALLY think this is funny or clever???

Just shut up, idiot.

OK, I usually HATE those "Who cares?" commenters, so I'm being hypocritical here. But this is so far inside-the-media I can't imagine anyone outside the Bristol area code getting past the first paragraph.

I have to assume that medical knowledge about these types of injuries and their treatment is vastly ahead of what it was in Bill Walton or even Yao's era, so perhaps the risk is less with Embiid.

Sorry, but a car that flips is not an advertisement for safety. The Ford Explorer got a lot of bad publicity over its propensity to tip over.

Baseball needs a rule about leaving the dugout, just like the NBA and NHL. All it does is waste time, particularly when the bullpen guys come sauntering in — being sure to get late enough in case there happens to be a real fight.

Sliding that late and going directly for a guy's knees? No, that's not part of baseball. He better be ready to get buzzed next at-bat.

I don't think a flipped car is great PR for Honda, regardless of how it happened.

Since young people are involved in FAR more accidents — and far more FATAL accidents — why are you demonizing the elderly? How old are you?

Announcers (home or away) are not a good test of whether a call was right or wrong. It's remarkable how many of them have never read a rule book — especially the ones who actually played the game.

Anyone who thinks the "Amica Pitch Zone" is an accurate representation of what is a strike or a ball is delusional.

Because Deadspin/Gawker's American soccer (excuse me, futbol) writers are a bunch of pretentious phonies. Really, it's embarrassing.

When has ESPN NOT made itself the story? It's all about promoting itself.

OK, somebody has to be "that guy." Clearly would have been a triple and an error, not a home run.

OH MY GOD! The man voiced the same opinion THREE DIFFERENT TIMES over a span of 25 YEARS!
