“To you we say: “We have only completed a beginning. We leave you much that is undone. There are great ideas undiscovered. Breakthroughs available to those who can remove one of truth’s protective layers. There are places to go beyond belief.”

Bears fans.  I’m dreading how many times he’s going to post the Double Doink video  and I am already preparing a rant.  

Irish guy loves Boston, hates San Francisco, millions SHOCKED. 

It’s always going to be Boston. Doesn’t matter the sport or the year or how good or bad the team was the previous year. Boston fans will be the most aggrieved.

A tradition unlike any other...

I always felt like that was a perfectly good consolation prize. Holy shit, you mean I can be effectively alone in the universe for three quarters of an hour in every two hour period? Fuck and yes, please and thank you! Yeah, it’d be cool beyond comprehension to walk on a whole other world, but if you offered me the…

Sports and politics intersect all. the. time. Never going to change, and it shouldn’t be ignored. If “stick to sports” guy can’t handle this fact, too fucking bad.

I honestly love Michael Collins, he’s been a hero of mine for years. I’m fascinated by the bravery it took to be the only human on the dark side of the moon, with no contact from anyone. While up there, he actually had to tell himself “ok, if things go wrong on the surface, I definitely won’t kill myself, though…

I love how today people are comfortable admitting that they don’t read.

“well read or educated.”

I almost wish I could say “this is the last straw, I’m done with ESPN!”

Man It’s a Hot One . . .

Brought my 3,5 year to the London Series. So a stadium with 60k people, music, fireworks, national anthems at full blast and a pretty much un-baseball like game this is how it played out:

Amazing diss from Press; 

Think of the hours her publicists billed to diffuse a situation they should have prevented.

At this point it kinda feels like they’re just shoe-horning VAR into article headlines because they’ve realized it draws traffic, gets people to comment more, and allows for linkage to previous VAR posts. Luis doesn’t even say the call was wrong or make much of a deal of the call itself or the way VAR was implemented w…

100% agree.

Looks to me like VAR did exactly what it was supposed to on that call. You couldn’t tuck your arms in any further to try to avoid the handball than that defended did. Textbook ball to hand in my opinion, but I can see why the ref originally called a handball in a split second decision.

I don’t want to make a thing of this but I think, down here in the comments section, there’s a difference between “I’m willing to make a joke about this” and “I don’t think this is a serious thing”. There are lots of things that are serious and terrifying in the world that people joke about to help cope with the stark…

Another infuriating, stark reminder that abusers don’t fit any specific profile, they’re everywhere. Apologies for apparently being one of the few commenters who don't find this funny.
