Maybe I'm nuts, but it sounds like these are similar, if not identical, arguments (both for and against) that are made during the participation of hockey players in international tournaments. I'd suggest soccer, too, but there's something about the club/country balance in soccer that appears to work much more than in…

God damn it Nate!

What in the everlasting fuck is that? I honestly wouldn't have known that's Batman if I hadn't been told.

At least he died doing what he loved: ruining a soccer game for everyone else involved.

Not necessarily. He just wouldn't want the media distractions, much like why teams wouldn't take Tebow, even as a back up. You're looking at it wrong. The media is making a huge deal out of this, the players will be asked questions every chance they get, the media will try to separate the locker room with stupid…

If this lackluster Excelmanship is any indication, this is a man who lacks passion.

It's nice to finally see the wife of a Raven drag their husband into something for once.

I'm probably going to get shredded up for typing this post, but I feel like there's probably others like me who had a similar experience this weekend - but maybe I'm the only one:

Wait 10 year olds are wearing compression tights now? The fuck

Portlandia is hit or miss, but when it's good it's one of the best shows on TV. I remember having to do a double-take when I saw LaMarcus and Penny Marshall together in that skit.

But did he CALL it?

"Fuckin' beautiful."

Civil War? I believe you mean the War of Northern Aggression.

I believe so. You know those nights you're at the bar, spitting your game to a lady, just about to seal the deal. But then, all of a sudden, one of those really douchey guys with a popped collar comes in and swoops her right from under you. But, turns out that the bro has trouble with the ole whisky dick when they…

Not bad for a guy on a team that never changed out of its pjs.
