This game is nuts. If you haven't heard, a bunch of SDSU players have mumps, so they've got guys playing out of position.

I'll admit it. I didn't buy the hype. But Cavan is a killer. These kids might be the ones who finally drag the USMNT to that next level.

Generally speaking, I understand this sentiment, but I think you're entitled to one fundraising text after ethering another senator in a hearing.

Happened to catch this. Watch both videos in the thread. I've never seen a more humiliating example of reaping/sowing in a Senate hearing. Dude really thought he uncovered a conspiracy by a famously morally upright prosecutor, and it turns out he just doesn't know ball.

“Would you like to request voluntary departure, or should I issue a removal order?” The judge asked. “I don’t know,” Angel replied before bursting into tears. He stared ahead stoically and continued to cry, eventually saying: “I have no one. I have nothing.”

I understand why people prefer to live in Florida, or California, or New York, but Kansas? That's gotta hurt. It's like in Casino when Sharon Stone kept going back to James Woods.

I don't care for the loose doinks. Nobody wants to hear that rattle. It sounds passive, almost apologizing for getting in the way. We want a clear tone, like a town-square clock — a confident BONG.

Tragically, the Commanders won their city exclusive use of the name Washington this season. We revert to the original name of our state, Columbia, which should cause less confusion with the federal district. #GoHawks
