been thinking about this and it would be far less injurious on your average footballer than Olympians in 1980 and '84.
much harder to take if you're a gold medal favorite in diving, say, than a dude on a team with a sliver of a chance to win the WC, and whose lucrative career is unaffected.

Honestly boycotting the World Cup would be the most effective and probably the least disruptive of all of the options available to Europe. I’m not sure how you can send teams and fans to contribute to a spectacle designed entirely to celebrate a guy trying to invade your territory.

Really wondering what kind of performance art CJ Stroud might come up with for a two-point conversion attempt.

Buck and Aikman kind of glossing over Stroud’s horrifics is almost as strange as how the young man is playing.

to paraphrase Ice Cube some (checks notes) 38 years ago, “Black police showing out for the white cop.”
Watching an ICE agent with a thick Latino accent arrest Americans for having a Latino accent is fucking surreal.

Amazing concept tempered by the notion of Denny’s doing both “creamy avocado sauce” and “fresh avocado slices.” Unless they show you an on-site avocado tree…
Denny's Supreme Green Skillet (2016-2016): Gouda-apple chicken sausage, seasoned red potatoes, fresh spinach, sautéed mushrooms, broccoli, roasted peppers & onions, all topped with a creamy avocado sauce, fresh avocado slices & 2 eggs in a sizzling skillet. Part of the "Extreme Skillets" menu.

Wonder if the nfl is looking for a way to make sure there is not a Jarrett Stidham-Sam Darnold matchup in the Super Bowl

Nowadays kickers more resemble “football players” so this was a nice little throwback to the days they’d yank a guy named Yuri or Sergio out of Europe and slap a single-prong face mask on his helmet.

"nah let's run on pomegranate scarcity"
Happening now: Hundreds of protesters are marching in front of the Home Depot on 36th St and Thomas where several day laborers were taken by ICE last Sunday. Chants of “ICE out of Home Depot, ICE out of AZ” and “ICE kills moms.”

Haven’t gone skiing since I was like 14. Now I see what lift tickets go for at some shitty hill and it’s like bruh I skied Squaw Valley for $18.😑
There's a growing cohort of Americans who are shut out from experiences the previous generation of the same wealth class had. They'll never fly, they'll never ski, they'll never see their favorite sports team in person. It's sickening

being urged to "Fill it to the rim....with Brim" as like an 8-year-old sounded kinda cool, yet it was decaf all along! Feeling lied to.
Brim Coffee (1961-circa 1985): A line of decaf coffee from Maxwell House, marketed as being rich tasting and low acidic. Available in traditional brew or instant options. Eventually the brand was phased out, and decaf coffees were just sold under the Maxwell House name

today's a pretty good example of how dumb the "offseason signing deadline" is. Simply, shit happens when it happens. And if marquee players fester too long on the market and into spring training, 9.5/10 times it's management's fault.

Bo Bichette can opt out and hit the free agent market next winter at age 28. Barring injury he almost certainly will do so. This will be a fun year with Bichette, Francisco Lindor, Marcus Semien and the 11 other corner men manning the #Mets infield.
