In baseball, the starter should not be able to removed in the 1st inning if they haven't given up a run.

Either it’s such critical funding that I have to be fined $100 a year by the state for the crime of owning a hybrid or it’s NBD and we can suspend the gas tax any time it’s politically advantageous, so which is it?

If NFL broadcasters are going to treat Deshaun Watson being ok at QB as a sign that he has been Redeemed For His Past, they must remain ideologically consistent. If he starts playing badly again they have to blame it on his failure to repent for his heinous sexual misconduct

I would be very surprised if any of the players on the field for the US right now ever get more than a mere handful of senior caps. None of them stand out to any extent.

I'm in the minority here, but this system just seems better except maybe a bit harder to communicate that top 8 situation (marketing challenge). And honestly even though there's two more play-in teams, the floor of quality is about the same because of ignoring conferences.

Reporters never ask meaningful follow-up questions. Do you have any grandchildren you think shouldn’t have the opportunity to go to college? Do you want to live next to a large data center? Do you want your son deployed to fight in Iran?

If the Crew win the U.S. Open Cup and finish top 3 in Leagues Cup, they'll have two bids to CONCACAF Champions Cup. In such situations, the extra bid is awarded to Club Internacional de Fútbol Miami, which gets a bye through to the knockout rounds and two extra Designated Players. And a cookie.

I am still of the mind that for the sake of player safety we should forfeit games in Charlotte. That place is cursed and is nothing but a hellscape on player health. #crew96 In other words, who do you think we are going to lose for a period of time because of that field?

So whenever *you*, owner of an ad blocker, see some ads get through and think 'gee that's annoying but I guess they just found a way to get through this time' the truth is your ad blocker sold you out and used your lack of knowledge of this ecosystem to blame your annoyance on the page you're on....

I understand the cynicism, but there used to be an understanding that the Dept of Interior, for example, didn’t knowingly pass along bad data or scrubbed information from their archives. This is different. I understand Republicans have been bad forever but this is different & a new precedent

This the kind of deal you only make if you need revenue now for whatever reason (capital intensive expansion, not missing payroll etc etc) such sacrificing increased future revenue is worth it. Or you’re doing corruption. Which sounds more like FIFA?
