Great. Now Coke changes the words to the national anthem.

I agree the referee can certainly give a red card. However, it's not correct to say that is the rule and to say the referee has to give a red in that case. The referee does deserve some scrutiny as Boateng was only given a yellow for a similar foul.

That's no easy task. You know half the team was Haydn in their rooms.

There is plenty of basis to argue the sending off was unjust. Law 12 gives plenty of room for a referee to give a yellow instead of a red with Szczęsny's foul on Robben. It was a clear penalty, but the referee has plenty of discretion to not give a red.

What does the Phillipsburg High pickleball team have against a rival's wrestling team?

The argument is not whether you can use any of these terms. You can. You may mean or intend no offensive in using the term. Language is subjective. The issue is whether the term is offensive to Native Americans and, in turn, should the organization respect these feelings.

Wow, a Lego Gale Sayers?

Indeed. And this is a unique situation where both definitions coincide and are not competing. The term refers to the football team AND it slurs Native Americans.

Come on, Deadspin. First you post to the Super Bowl Scientology ad and now this promo for Jehovah's Witnesses.

It's SODA.

Three thumbs down.

Joe Banner has found a quote to fill the empty space in the locker room:

I didn't know TGI Friday's was such a formal establishment.

And this time the Roman was a Saint! Exciting!

They also need a proven center back, like one of either Neven Subotic or Mats Hummels from Borussia Dortmund, who presumably can always be coaxed into selling.

Just a heads up:

3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 10 points for longest continuous train.

Either of the Tom Leys.

My favorite Silva moment:

Cry me a bloody river.
