Not to mention that the US is playing the kind of relaxed-yet-kinda-inspired ball that it hadn’t played in ages. It’s almost like Arena gets the guys to not just express themselves and have fun, but also gives them a solid, tactical footing to express themselves with.

Hey Deadspin, why has there not been a recap of the U.S. vs. Costa Rica game. Yea it’s the Gold Cup but come on! Clint Dempsey tied LD’s record of all time U.S. goal scorer in his home state. This is the same Clint Dempsey that people were concerned that he was not going to be able to play again because of a heart…

No, but the Lord rests in the seventh inning.

Good for him. That’s all I’ve got. Everybody deserves a good day every once in a while.

This was literally no big deal until the cops showed up.

“These guys enjoy a hobby I don’t understand, clearly they’re losers”

Are you kidding? Great excuse to sell a business that can’t be sold otherwise. Genius....

These people do not NEED all this money, they just have a totally unreasonable and intense desire to acquire more of it.

Hmmm. 540 or so billionaires in the country. And projections that automation and AI will destroy nearly half of the jobs over the next couple of decades for the common folk, while of course making a few hundred more people obscenely rich. Are they starting to realize that you can’t string enough barbed wire or…

Geopolitics therefore become just another business risk to be measured alongside interest rates and consumer trends, and judged based on the threat it poses to your money

Yeah, much better that he loves the rich. That’s a good plan.

I’ll never forget the first time I met a professional schmoozer employed by an investment bank. His office desk didn’t have a single thing on it other than a computer. His grasp of my client’s business was tenuous at best. But he was the smoothest, funniest motherfucker I ever met, and I completely understood why…

This is why Piketty caused such a stir. Being pretty much guaranteed to continue coming out ahead when you have accumulated wealth presents a problem for capitalism as currently practiced, which makes the existence of the super wealthy a problem.

What’s the security like at this sort of thing?

Is anybody else tickled by the idea that Scaramucci was sufficiently boy-scoutish that he thought in order to take a job in the administration he’d have to sell his business? Did he not pay attention to the man he was helping elect?

“Are you telling me that you used my college savings . . . on a Delorean?”

So did Anthony Mason have sex with the 2010 ESPYs? Its been 12 years.
