I know a guy who’s over there now getting Doha’s subway system up and running for 2022. He has some stories, but my favorite is that the local organizers don’t think they have to make any surface-level pedestrian improvements because cars always yield to them, the guys in the obvious high mucky-muck formal thobes who…

Personal favorite: when the guy with the ball is pinned along the sideline and gets out of it by just absolutely blasting the ball at the defender to try to bounce it out of bounds for a throw in/corner kick.

The real England was inside us all along

I will never forget the day the Teo story broke. Not only did it make Deadspin part of my daily routine, but it was the first time even the non-sports fans in my office were riveted to my buddy and I’s football talk. Also they day they realized how little work we actually got done in the fall.

“If you cut back on oil production, we’ll cut back on defense.”

It is of course impossible to say for certain, but I sincerely believe that if you showed me her mugshot with no context I would have guessed it was for setting fires in the Kansas City outfield.

These assholes are telling on themselves when they insist victims are only making a fuss for money. How much have Engler and co already pocketed to make things go away?

On the one hand it’s nice to be reminded that ESPN employees are just as much a mishmash of funny, boring, and hapless as the rest of us. On the other hand, Mina Kimes is apparently a god among trolls and should not be trifled with.

Is that the Corky Booze formerly of the Richmond, CA city council? I haven’t heard his name since he lost to Tom Butt in the mayoral race.

Being too racist for the organization that routinely has to ban entire fanbases from stadiums for throwing bananas at the black players is not a good look

Either he had a meltdown or he got the weirdest fortune cookie

I appreciate that you didn’t give a tie to the Draymond Green rankings so that you could specifically list both as being worse than getting hit by a car

You’re right, by a whole month! I have to do a little more research but I would guess it’s a similar regular season (half as many games, close to double the rest days), but with a much longer postseason. http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/10/longest-shortest-offseason-nhl-nfl-nba-mlb-when-season-starts

I’m about to leave the country on a long-term work assignment and my girlfriend (who was very supportive) decided to end things at the last minute. How do I cope without completely losing my mind?

Almost got tripped up when the herbal mint tea in our office stash was suddenly replaced with a mint black tea, but chamomile always has your back.

I don’t understand why ESPN would single her out for this, I thought All Takes Matter over there?

Willson better be careful, he can’t really afford to catch another L

By and large it seems like when responding to the Haka, the only winning move is not to play New Zealand

Rumor has it he keeps playing to facilitate his gambling habits. If only there were a team who could desperately use a fan favorite player to get people in the door regardless of rooting interest that was located in a city known for its gambling.
