Since Mesopotamia.

Found this interesting. HeadSmart Labs in Pittsburgh did a test where they inflated footballs to 12.5 PSI in 75° and then, to simulate the AFC Championship Game weather conditions, put the balls in 50° and got them wet. The pressure in the balls declined an average of 1.8 PSI. Of course, this doesn't explain why the…

Are you a Yankee fan? Because most everyone else thinks that's pretty great.

I feel about this the same way about pitchers using a little bit of pine tar to keep a better grip on their balls in particularly cold or humid weather. It's technically illegal, but it's so universally done and offers such a negligible benefit that it should be legal. And it is de facto allowed, except when some…

You clearly know nothing about the FA Cup.

No, what people want is Cambridge United versus Liverpool and Cambridge upsetting Liverpool.

Cannot agree on either count, but I'm just saying, it's funny how people can tolerate all those commercial breaks and huge guys in padding just standing around but not 45 minutes of actual action. My attention span can't handle all the stops, they stop moving around and go to commercial, and I find something else to…

You know, it's really funny how most of the people who complain about a 45-minute long continuously played half (+ a few minutes injury time) will happily sit and watch an American football half so broken up by clock stoppages that it takes more than twice as long as the soccer half to get through.

I think this is just the latest in a long line of incidents, so it's more of a message that says "hey, Hope? please calm the fuck down."

I love this implication that anything you don't understand must be a waste of time.

Found it, via a cached copy on this forum.

Did you seriously just use "World Cup" in reference to your earlier sentence wherein you referenced "integrity"? That right there shatters any credibility you may have had.

And they'll continue to, even after booing their team and leaving the stadium early. And don't get me started on those "12 Fan" jerseys.

If I've said it once, I'll say it again.... Seattle fans are the most insufferable bastards in the sports world. You just can't stop patting yourselves on the back.

Assuming he is taller than his wife, why didn't he switch seats with her?

This is what kills about these two posts. If he wasn't so blinded by MLS hatred, he might have bothered to do the most basic of fact checking.

There are no "nebulous machinations". He was available on a free transfer and TFC bid the most. There is no MLS allocation for foreign players from outside MLS.

Then why did you click the link? Just to bitch?

Yeah, seriously!!! Ahhh, a note to some gay men - just because you're gay doesn't make it more okay to touch someone, especially in private areas, without their consent. I had a friend a used to work with (retail) that used to piss me off all the time because he would slap my ass all the time and then would tell me to…
