Driven bankrupt by a sports stadium no one wanted to pay for, they wandered off into the mists of time.

And his reaction to scoring was VERY American — what your football coach taught you from Pee Wee League days — "Act like you've been there before." Another thing America can bring to the world cup. Manly reactions to scoring goals, instead of this weepy showboating.

Oh my God, really? I saw the 17 minutes — 34 jokes attempted, maybe 12 land. The lead is dull (a young Fillion or Sam Rockwell was called for, a young Patrick Wilson is what they got). The prison break sequence is quite cool, but this breathless reaction to biolerplate sci-fi is going to generate a lot of…

If I was out on a speed-limited Interstate, as I often am in and around Orlando, and a bunch of rich douchebag speed freaks caused a wreck that ruined my car and threatened my life, the best reason for them not stopping is Florida's stand your ground law. Because if ever there was an excuse to pop a few rounds into…

Closer than it should have been, but forced perspective makes it look like they're even closer.

I heard him say "Dios mio." Which is appropriate.

Sharp analysis, so far as I can tell. But God help you if you're only bluffing.

That's a pretty naive read on Michael Bay's politics. Re-watch "The Rock." He's a fascist, whose sympathies lie with anybody with a gun or uniform. Trans-4 is anti DEMOCRATIC government.

Far more interesting post would be on reasons Portugal will roll over for Ghana. That's a bet worth taking.

I had no idea Tom Paine had been reborn — as a baseball stats guru. Freaking brilliant.

Inspired. If you come up with some clever/fake T-shirt designs, sign me up.

"Fairly obvious" fits the whole post, doesn't it? Sorry, this is one lazy ass piece of traffic trolling.

Nicely summed up, okan170. Perhaps the will to go back will come from the private sector. Or perhaps NASA, once SpaceX et al have taken the Fed Ex/Virgin Airways part of the task over, will opt to angle for cash to go back with purpose.

Excellent analysis.

This "deepest draft" bullshit must stop. Bigs turn also-rans into playoff teams. One, maybe two bigs, and this is a "deepest draft"? Horse hockey. Shooting guards and forwards, with everybody talking about the same three or four players.

Exactly. Not reliable. Water pump is potentially a "stranded" issue, if you don't notice the leak. And 2 days out of service? My econobox (Kia Soul) has yet to reach two days in 4 years.

"and once jokingly asking for the cat back." Verb tense issue. "asked."
