In Ireland a "sham" is somebody from the town of Tuam in County Galway. Thoughts with them all at this difficult guilt-by-association time.

Ah Dolly. RIP. A lady. One of the very best of us: unbelievably talented, brilliant, funny, friendly, and kind. "It takes a lot of money to look this cheap," is one of the great quotes. 😂 RIP Dolly 🥰🥰🥰

From a friend who is a psychotherapist: "He makes everything and everyone about him. He is so unbearably narcissistic that even his difficulties with achieving are reframed as his greatest successes. CBT gone mad." #IYKYK #ENU

You are only allowed to complain about our predictions (next week) unless you post yours too. Know-all after-timers next May are not worth the paper they are not written on. Let's be having you!

I didn't hate the World Cup final half-time show as much as Wayne Rooney and others (it had Animal from The Muppet Show!), but it presumably prevented a pitch that was quite obviously far too dry for purpose from being watered.

No, but this is shaping up to be one of the biggest scandals in Fifa/World Cup history (which is saying something). USA should try to distance themselves from it in any way they can.

As huge and unpopular a call as it would be, the USA should leave Folarin Balogun on the bench for the entire Belgium game to avoid being tainted by any sort of association with Trump and Fifa's chicanery and machiavellianism.

These Hollywood food delivery trundle-gizmos are exactly the droids I was looking for. They all have names and a Henry Hoover face. You'd put their life expectency in London or Dublin at about three minutes. If that.

My own colleagues are trolling me now! Rice is not "in line to win his 74th cap when England face Croatia in Group L", he is in line to win his 77th cap.

Barry, I’m afraid to tell you your information may be in the eye of the beholder only. I believe a good majority of the basketball watching audience would agree the Arsenal of the basketball would be the Oklahoma City Thunder.

I'm unreliably informed the Knicks are the Arsenal of basketball - fouling, timewasting, corner specialist, opposite-of-entertainers. Are there corners in basketball? Can Gabriel head one in?

Barstool in Barney's (not Ronay) for Knicks v Spurs with a queue a mile long down the street full of people *begging* to get in. Not sure what is going on but a lot of excitement and main take-out so far: basketball Spurs much better than football Spurs.

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals. As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them. Go Knicks.
