I was neutral on Toronto winning the NBA title, mainly because Aubrey and his antics off-set my admiration for some of the team’s players, but I was super happy to see Lin get a ring. Seems like a genuinely nice guy and humble... something you don’t see much of in the NBA (or sports in general) nowadays.

If it steals keys, why didn’t they call it Klepki instead? Also, I believe it is Magnemite, not Magnetmite.

I’m not at all surprised that Kolašinac tried to fight off two men armed with knives. Say what you will about his abilities as a footballer, but that is one man you do not want to fuck with. The robbers clearly didn’t do their homework.

...or self-preservation.

Hard to believe this is the same guy who dribbled around two defenders and a goalkeeper a few days ago.

I work at Costco. What’s the one thing you need to have in order to even enter the building or begin a transaction at the register? A Costco card. What’s the one thing a lot of people never seem to have readily available? A Costco card.

Agreeing to partner with something you’re unfamiliar with? I appreciate the apology, but it’s a bit of a head-scratcher.

Looking at the replay, that is not a handball for me. The arm was tucked right up against the body. I think VAR got it right by overturning the initial penalty call. Also, I was surprised that the Senegalese goalkeeper just stood and watched the result of the deflection instead of trying to get back and make the save.…

Exactly. If you’re gonna wring his arm about it, tell every woman to watch the fuck out.

He’s not a big fan... just a fan. He’ll do it if he absolutely needs to, but he’d rather just write about baseball.

That’s what I enjoy most about women’s soccer: the fans are happier. Watching the women’s World Cup was such a nice break from men’s soccer, and the on-pitch action is just as good. Is the agreement with ESPN just for ESPN+ or will these games be shown on television? If the latter, I’ll definitely be watching.

The only thing I’m having trouble buying is the whole “Piqué doesn’t need an heir just yet.” If Barcelona play with four at the back, surely de Ligt would displace Clément Lenglet and play alongside Piqué?

Whoah, whoah, whoah... let’s not get carried away here.

Well, at least we now know that if he ever did make a baseball team, he wouldn’t need a glove.

Correct.

Cesaro always seems to do something every match that makes my jaw drop. Catching Black in the air during his double knee strike was incredible.

I thought I read somewhere that Capcom is already working on a remake of Nemesis after seeing how well the Resident Evil 2 remake was received. I mean, they would already have some of the assets ready to go... at least for the beginning of the game.

They already tried that: https://theconcourse.deadspin.com/the-goddamn-kfc-just-up-and-exploded-1836315075

Not to go off topic, but how good was that match between Aleister Black and Cesaro? Two of (I would argue) the best wrestlers in the WWE today, putting on a fantastic match with each guy getting some great spots, and ending with Cesaro taking arguably the best Black Mass finisher I’ve ever seen Aleister Black deliver.…

I’m still trying to figure out how anyone can take the Lumbar Check without ending up in a wheelchair.
