It’s tough to have a sense of urgency and focus when you’re playing alongside a guy who doesn’t want you there because you’re not good enough.

I think this guy needs more than just a restraining order. It’s sad, but it really sounds like he needs to be put away before he takes someone’s life.

Still warmer and less humid than London.

I agree. It also makes me consider how much impact a change of climate can have on a player’s body. It could just be that, as far as his health is concerned, Bale peaked very early in his playing career. But I wonder, if he were to return to the climate of England, would his body handle that better, and would this…

Eh. Sometimes players just don’t fit in when they move to a new country. It happens all the time, but is magnified here simply because it is Gareth Bale we’re talking about. Call me old, but like Bale, I wouldn’t want any part of dinner at 10:15pm either, even if it is tradition or part of another culture. He really…

I feel like you have to include Jill from the Resident Evil 1 Remake. Even though she’s got that beret on, you know she’s styling under there. And I’m not saying this just because Jill has been my waifu since 1996 when I was 12 years old, so shut up.

Ah okay. I didn’t realize that was the origin behind it. I would ask how it wasn’t abolished years ago, but then I remember this is America.

My buddy is a huge Chelsea fan, and he and I had quite the debate today on who the blame lays with here. He wanted to lay the blame solely at Kepa’s feet, while I believe that Sarri comes off looking weak here too (in addition to Kepa appearing unmanageable) so the fault lays with both. I directed him to this article. …

What is it about the “tomahawk chop”chant that is racist? I’m not trying to argue that it isn’t racist, just interested in learning the story behind it. I’m from the complete opposite corner of the United States so I haven’t really heard anything about it up here.

I only buy games after they are released as a “final version” with all DLC, and the price has dropped. It sucks waiting sometimes, but I find I am way happier with my purchases this way.

It’s a cosmetic item that does absolutely nothing. That alone should tell you it’s not worth it.

I really wish all of these guys would just stay in NXT with Velveteen Dream and Adam Cole and do six-man ladder matches every week.

Because he’s not a “big name.” If United are smart, they won’t break what doesn’t need fixing. Based on what he’s achieved so far, give him the job permanently. If/when his team does start to capitulate, then try and steal Pochettino away.

I would have to say Lordran from Dark Souls. Not only does it end with a boss battle against Dragonslayer Ornstein and Executioner Smough, just getting to them is a challenge... especially trying to get by those two silver knight archers. It always felt like luck played a significant role whenever I attempted it.

Do yourself a favor, and never watch a Fabien Barthez compilation video on YouTube. You’ll end up setting your computer on fire and chucking it out the window. Gets expensive...

Good to hear. Too many in this world vanish without a trace and are never found... and despite knowing the most likely outcome anyway, at least his family now has some form of closure. Hopefully they will be able to determine what caused the crash in the coming weeks.

So nice to hop on Deadspin and read some real journalism for once... not a bunch of whiny, potty-mouth bloggers throwing a temper-tantrum because the New England Patriots won another Super Bowl. Well done.

Klopp’s style of football is demanding and exhausting. Not at all surprised to see that it’s leading to burnout in the Premier League, much as it did in the Bundesliga. At least the players have a winter break in that league!

You can be pissed off all you want, but when a team only puts up three points over four quarters, they don’t deserve anything but that big L next to their name.

I remember playing the first Angry Birds so much that by the time Seasons came out I was just done. I played maybe a couple of stages of that game and then moved on to Plants Vs. Zombies.
