  1. You're not a real fan of soccer (or "Proppaphutbo" in the British language) until your supporters steal a Broadway show tune, or change the lyrics to Annie's Song by John Denver. My favorite soccer song though, is about renowned scumbag Stan Collymore: Collymore's a wanker He wears a wanker's hat He was a Forest bastard And then a Leicester ***** He went out with Ulrike And beat her like an egg So when he came to Derby We broke his ***** leg. North American sports culture just doesn't do end to end, whistle to whistle singalongs unfortunately.
  2. Of course not. I can see a country that was attacked, by surprise, by an enemy four or five times as large. That same enemy, at the time, had a top 5 army in the world, and was sitting on a mountain of surplus weapons built up over 50 years of communism. They've been fighting for almost three years now, and are trading out between 2 or 3 to 1 in men, and 3 or 4 to 1 in vehicles. Common sense tells me this wouldn't be possible unless. 1. They believed in their cause. 2. Their enemy is criminally stupid when it comes to military affairs. And it absolutely wouldn't be possible if they were spending...what was the claim... 70% of our aid on vacations, luxury cars, and golden toilet seats or whatever. Especially since their most economically productive regions are either occupied, covered in minefields or shelled to bits. This is just common sense. Sure, pressure the ***** out of the Ukrainians to get their house in order. We've got all sorts of leverage. But I have zero faith in pots lecturing kettles about their color black, especially when the results are obvious and the expense is paltry compared to what we waste everywhere else.
  3. Because they do not trust the motives of the overseers. We live in a country that is itself rife with corruption and mismanagement. Where every politician is more or less for sale since Citizens United. Both parties explode our deficits and waste our money. What they disagree are the reasons why they explode our deficits, and why their reasons are justified but the other guys aren't. Nobody actually gives a ***** about corruption because it's too busy making them rich. So any politician that's screaming about corruption and oversight is basically full if *****. Which is why they think it's all just smoke and mirrors for other agendas, whatever those are. If Joe Biden told Rand Paul that $20 billion in Ukraine aid was being invested in weapons production that would bring jobs to Kentucky, he'd paint his face Blue and Yellow the next day.
  4. So instead, we wager on the country that: Was absolute monarchy until 1917, then a parliamentary democracy until 1918, then a communist dictatorship until 1991, then a kleptocracy until 2000, and when it became an oligarchy until the present day? Genius reasoning! Nuanced thinking! Where do I sign up!
  5. Russia was crushed by Japan in 1905, by Germany and Austria in 1917, and got thrashed in Afghanistan in 1988. Each time it lost, Russia was pitched in domestic turmoil that it barely survived (1905), suffered a regime collapse then a civil war (1917-1920), or simply fell apart (1988-1990). When Russia fights wars, it wins or it implodes. But for some reason, we're only supposed to care about when they win? Why are we leaving out all the nuance?
  6. Ernie Adams and the Hoody are looking for jobs. Let's get the dynamic duo back together! "Special Assistants to the Coach", "Football Research Consultants", something like that.
  7. Is James Cook really that much smaller than Spencer Brown? Holy *****.
  8. Extending McDaniels and Tua was the best thing Miami's ever done for us.
  9. Stack wins. Real football starts in January.
  10. Keon thought there was a VIP lane on Abbott Road.
  11. Jacksonville postgame shows are spiralling into despair and nihilism. While Finheaven is lining up in front of the Cool Aid jug. It's a good day.
  12. I agree. I just wanted to see how xitter brained these takes would get.
  13. Catan is great. It's Diplomacy and Twilight Imperium that split families and ruin friendships.
  14. KC will be there come the winter. Nobody is going to do it for us.
  15. "Turns out rock bottom has a basement"
  16. Miami got ***** housed again. That never gets old.
  17. The Xs and Os from a Jaguars POV
  18. Trump. He can't stand up to a pushup bra and a plastic surgeon. But somehow Putin and Xi are no problem?
  19. Mina Kimes DESTROYS rando DITTOHEADS with FACTS and LOGIC.
  20. So how do we fix inflation using tariffs and tax cuts? Honest question.
  21. Ah well. I can still hope.
  22. Ted Cruz is a scumbag and a coward and the Senate is better off without him. Maybe he can petition King Charles III and have his Canadian citizenship restored? Or would he have to ask Justin Trudeau?
  23. Tua under McDaniels is the most recent version of Jared Goff under McVey. So long as the coach and the scheme do all the processing for him, he's amazing. When the system runs perfectly, he's perfect. When the League caught on, and started running bracket coverage on whoever is in motion and press-man everywhere else, the system falls apart. Then because Tua is the golden child, and Miami has about a billion dollars locked up in WRs, they MUST try to throw their way out of the jam. Against mediocre teams, they can. Against everyone else, they can't.
  24. Jets are doing whatever they want. Rogers has been deadly on scrambles and roll outs. How did Cincy lose to these bums?
