Jon in Pasadena

So, if I understand this right, Donnie is teaching his players to "squat" on routes?

My wife has no problem with me driving motorcycles, because she knows I'm a better bike pilot than car driver. Or possibly she's just looking forward to collecting on my life insurance policy.

Well, we were happy that Japan escaped with a 2-1 win over a bigger, faster Cameroon squad yesterday. I say "escaped" because it easily could have been 4-2 the other way. Oh well, the victory puts them through to the next round, so all is good. Except I'm bummed Kozue Ando is done for this WC with a broken leg. She's my favorite player on Nadeshiko Japan. :-(

Yeah, Nadeshiko Japan is who we root for in my family. I'm headed there (Japan) tomorrow, so it should be fun to watch with everybody.

I remember I got to ride one of Man o'War 's grandson's when I was a kid. Biggest, scariest horse I ever rode. I was utterly terrified. Can't imagine what it must have been like to have been aboard the O.G.

Missed what happened to Coli? Always liked his takes. The hard part is not the escape itself; it's figuring a plan to survive long-term on the outside with no money, no identity, friends being surveilled, etc., all while being hunted down by the resources of the state.

Besides BiB & T-Log, who else ?

Try waving instead of waiving. It takes about 72% less energy.

No, if we cut him and he gets picked up by the P*ts, then he'll be playing with cheatahs.

I don't lane split nearly as often as when I was younger. Just ain't worth it. There are times when it's pretty unavoidable, though.

Maybe they meant in a thermal sense, like she has a high fever or something.

On what planet is #7 hot?

Maybe she was confused and thought she was in a dump truck. Or a little deuce coupe?

But if they can sign Neil Young, they'll be cooking with gas on karaoke night.

It's a close call between Dick Feynman and the crazy Arab guy I hitched a ride with from Çanakkale to Selçuk.

I'd definitely let her spot me on the bench.

Deep South version of the old Michael Jordan/Larry Bird McDonald's commercials: "Off the armadiller', off the fence, through the door of the double-wide, through the back of the lounger. Nothing but mother-in-law."

I enjoy watching soccer. But there are two rule changes that I think would improve the sport, especially at pro level: 1. Intentional diving should result in a direct free kick for the first offense, and PK for subsequent offenses. Would serve as a deterrent, and incidentally up the scoring for those who dig that. 2. More transparency on how much injury time is allotted. Players & spectators have a right to know when the game is going to end. It doesn't really make a difference to me if the timeclock counts up, with additional time added as needed, or counts down, NFL-style, with "time added back onto the clock" as needed.

The Nationals or Astros ought to sign him.

Where's the usual "If you're not cheating, you're not trying hard enough." crowd?

I figured it was Rosen.

Maybe for John, too!

I only read PPP for the articles. No, really.

Gotcha. I guess my admittedly sketchy read of SAS's blither was that Kelly was "anti-black" rather than "pro-white" or "anti-non-white".
