I know something is amiss since I opened DS this morning and didn’t see a single article. I desperately want to tell the staff to stick it to your corporate overlords, however it is not my job to lose. I hope you all find a way to stick together through the tension you are experiencing at the office. If the owners…

A question for the Funbag: why should I keep reading anything on this website after Jim Spanfeller and Paul Maidment went to the lengths of firing Barry, like cowards, for the dumbest of reasons?

I want to support the writers here—this is both the best website that exists, and has ever existed, and the best sports…

“I don’t think anyone truly believes that we disrespect the game or disrespect our opponents.”

I came hear to say just this. I don’t think any serious person has a problem with celebrations. But there’s an Ugly American vibe to this particular team that they could tone down a bit.

I find it ironic that she is an American who despises everything about what an obnoxious buffoon Trump is, and then basically encourages her team, that represents the USA, to act like obnoxious buffoons.

Some of the highest-profile US players are assholes, and apparently that makes lots of people happy. That’s fine, it’s more or less in keeping with American stereotypes (nothing makes an American happier than being powerful enough to act like an asshole), but don’t pretend it’s something different. I mean you yourself …

“I don’t think anyone truly believes we disrespect opponents”

I don’t think anyone truly believes that we disrespect the game or disrespect our opponents. We have the utmost respect for England and every team that we face.

“once in a lifetime”? give me a break! that’s like calling alabama killing no-name cupcakes by 50 points a special occasion.

I know that whole debate is pointless now, but god I hate the fan culture of american international sports. for some reason the people who hate arrogant, ignorant american patriotism in real…

Uruguay and Chile both won by the tallies of 4-0 in dull affairs, against a red-carded Ecuador and a B-team Japan.

I’ll go ahead and add you to the “supports dick moves” category, then.

I’m far more annoyed with the people jumping to defend what is *clearly* unsportsmanlike by saying it’s not unsportsmanlike.

I was also a preadolescent Garfield worshiper. If you want some good, old-fashioned nightmare fuel, I highly suggest checking this shit out.

Hobbes is a ferocious Tiger you feline falsehood floater!!!

By about a billion times. If Hobbes is the Denver Nuggets, then Garfield is a deflated volleyball being halfheartedly used as a basketball by two disinterested kids in the slums of Detroit.

Forget the celebrations for a second

Everyone knows Hobbes is the superior comic strip cat.  

Everyone will happily forget if you stop trying to slip in words on the “debate” of tasteful celebrations. For the record: You jerks prefer the jerk celebrations. That’s fine. But when that is pointed out by a critical mass, the appropriate response is not “we are not jerks and you people who thought it was in poor…
