Half the damn bar I was in erupted with the fury. The other half asked, Is it the Finals? Nah, just Steph Curry doing the thing.

I thought the devil went down to Georgia?

Head north, angry Georgia football man! I hear St. Louis is looking to replace an amateur team.

Jeets was real classy about his farewell. Boston gave him a standing O — and he sent a real nice gift basket.

Complete embarrassment. Mike Pereira confirms this should have been ruled a catch on the field.

Well, which was the guy — a goat or a dog? I’m getting mixed messages. Sounds like someone could use a better director of communications.

Ooooh, that Chile-Argentina rematch in Group D gonna be good.

Dammit. Here’s a star.

Just keep ‘em out of the greys.

For sure.

“EINSTEIN WAS RIGHT — THERE ARE GRAVITATIONAL WAVES AND WE’VE JUST SEEN THEM FROM THE FOOT OF NUMBER SEVEN! RIPPLING THROUGH THE FABRIC OF SPACE TIME AND LIFTING THE POOR KEEPER RIGHT OFF HIS FEET BEFORE TEARING INTO THE BACK OF THE NET.”

- Ray Hudson, quietly, to no one in particular

Amen to that. I loathe that pro-gun types seem to have no clue that their fervor was bought and paid for only 50 years ago, in then face of 200 years of American history.

It’s like pornography. I know it when I see it. And, I assure you, I’ve seen enough of it.

And sadly ironic, given the first thing we’re known for is the Second Amendment, having entirely lost our perspective on the First.

I literally had to scroll up to confirm Billy wrote this. Not MLS and not Barca... so it was pretty confusing.

And to think, all the years and money wasted buying extra vowels for “Geaux Tigers.”

“Woah, woah, woah — slow your damn roll. Leave those two kids alone. Frankly, this is hilarious and I’m enjoying it.”

Yeah, there’s clearly something very strange going on with the replay monitor. Given the increments of seconds and frames match up so closely, I’d wager frame rates are the cause of the problem — but the technology shouldn’t work that way. Best guess: the monitor is pulling in the footage at the source rate (59.97)…

That doesn’t quite mesh? The 59.97 frame rate (60fps) is just interlaced video that is still broadcast at 30 fps. There’s not 60 frames of video; there are 30 frames with half the lines of video from the first frame interlaced with half the lines of video from the next frame; rinse and repeat.
