That’s not exactly a fair case, because Leicester City’s 2015-16 was such a huge deviation from the norm. In 26 seasons of the EPL, only twice has a title been won by another club besides Man U, Man City, Chelsea, and Arsenal - Leicester 15-16 and Blackburn 94-95. That’s out of 49 total clubs which have spent at least…

Imagine if the NFL just gave the trophy to the regular season winner. Then we’d have even *more* insufferable Patriots fans talking about their perfect season a la the Dolphins.

Or, imagine a truly despised team goes 16-0 in the regular season, blitzes through the playoffs, and then is upset by a(n admittedly loathsome if not by half) “underdog” led by a man-child with permanent derp face in some sort of culminating event.

I didn’t mean to imply otherwise, I was just trying to parse out the specific points of contention between separatists and the rest of the country, and I asked about immigration because my sense is that there’s already a lot of it in Catalonia. Anyway BorisYeltsined answered me.

wait, so you’re saying the wall needs to be much higher???

Did they actually call that movie Wonders anywhere? I can’t decide if that’s a better or worse name.

Otto Balé? Did you mean:

and that “world champion climber” (probably named Jim) came to him afterwards with tears streaming down his face and said “Sir, you just built the most unclimbable wall in history. You are truly a genius and hero to us all and are making American great again.

Keep in mind that most Catalan separatists are xenophobic assholes and their main reasoning for wanting independence today is Spain’s admittance of immigrants and that they’re tired of their “hard-earned tax dollars” going to support less prosperous parts of the country.

To be fair, he might have a point there. I guess it just depends on your interpretation of ‘system’. Or ‘works’. Or ‘better’.

So the best counter to Trump’s exaggeration/lie is another exaggeration/lie? Pull back the lies to expose the truth rather than throwing your own obfuscation on top.

Both Xavi and Pep Guardiola—former Barcelona players, Catalans, and outspoken supporters of the referendum on the issue of Catalan independence—voiced their anger at the situation this week. Xavi called the prison sentences “shameful,” while Guardiola said “Spain lives in an authoritarian drift in which…

Can’t La Liga stick to sports?

OK, the climber dude cited in this article is far from a “novice” if he’s done lead climbing. And the techniques he’s describing (like the undercling) aren’t exactly easy. It takes a good amount of strength (finger, hand, wrist, arm, leg) and stamina to hold on and keep applying counter-pressure while you’re…

Wouldn’t that also involve laying the wall down on the group and having a “window” that this week’s guest star could pop their head through? Plus you need some fishing line to pull your cape, which I don’t see you including.

It’s so easy to climb a six year old could do it has done it.

As penetrable as the wall probably is, someone who’s planning a climbing trip and says they’ve done a lot of climbing probably exceeds most reasonable people’s definition of novice.

1) Trump is fucking moron who doesn’t know the difference between “rock climbing” and “mountain climbing.”

A lot of them had great years in 2018 and were bound to regress. And I don’t think the baseballs had anything to do w/ Sale throwing 80 mph “fastballs” in April and May.
