MLS needs to fix its regular season structure, though. Somehow 34 games per season per team somehow seems “not enough” and “too many” at the same time.

That fight is totally staged. There wouldn’t be people standing around and the video wouldn’t start at “first punch.” Bieber somehow gets beaten while having his hands on the guy’s shirt, throwing the first punch, and by avoiding getting hit.

Spain should have hosted this year’s Olympics.

- Gaudi-esque Olympic logos
