Di Maria won the 2014 Champions League Final for Real, damn near carried Argentina to the 2014 World Cup until he was hurt, and he destroyed Real on Match Day 1.

Why does it matter where the rich people live? The richest ones are in the closest-in suburbs and many of them are sending kids to private schools within district lines. And where do you think federal agencies are spending their money?

I’m not saying make your own sauce! I’m just saying that simply using better ingredients makes a HUGE difference in the quality, more so in Italian food than most other cuisines.

Right, so the city’s tax revenue dropped, but the richest people in the DMV suffered the least.

2009, a time of economic recession locally and nationally

I mean, just think about the difference in the sauce that’s out of a jar vs spending 10 minutes with fresh garlic, onion and a can of crushed tomatoes. And compare that to spending 10 extra minutes to boil fresh tomatoes instead of using the canned stuff. SMFH.

You probably wouldn’t combine swimming and diving though, or downhill with halfpipe. More importantly, it’s not like the decathlon or the triathlon where there’s a tradition. It’s the first —and the last— time they combine all three disciplines.

Yeah, it was a way to get all three disciplines into the Olympics with a limited number of athletes. But it’s like having a track event where you combine results for 100m, 200m and 1600m - one of them is not like the others.

Oh snap, thanks

Ah thanks, I was looking for news reports to confirm but couldn’t find any

I mean, I don’t disagree, but didn’t Man City have a game in hand until late in spring, so it was effective a 4-point lead? (again, not really taking away from your point, but it wasn’t as big a lead as you suggest)

Maybe Emery can find a creative 10 somewhere, preferably with experience playing in the Premier League and winning a major international tournament.

EXACTLY!

The way I was taught, they came up with the number 5 to represent the five points of contact you’d need with a surface.

I think it’s... okay? For non-speed specialists, the big thing is not stumbling.

I said I don’t care.

They did it at the World Championship at Hachioji this fall. It ended up shutting out speed climbers out of contention (only one speed climbing specialist made the 10-climber final for both male and female), because non-speed climbers excel at both rope and bouldering so they could afford to drop points in speed,…
