Quite pleased to be in second place, and only one game out of first, this late in the season.

But, regardless of what I think about the rule, i’d have taken it if it had gone our way. Congratulations England, who were the better of the two sides throughout the tournament.

If a rained off game of cricket is decided through a calculation of overs faced, runs and [emphasis] wickets lost, [/emphasis] then why is a tied game decided by boundaries?

Asking for a friend.

While England are a better team right now, I think psychologically England is probably a better matchup for us. England clearly the favourites though. Also, while obviously English games are never going to be conveniently timed for Kiwis, what utter cunt decided on a Sunday, rather than Saturday, fi...

And what a crazy semi-final! I’ve never seen an 18 run win eventuate from a more hopeless/tense match.

I really should’ve rebooted this thread sooner I guess... :D Against all odds and logic, the Black Caps have snuck into their second consecutive World Cup final, against the winner of the upcoming Australia/England clash. It hasn’t been as good a tournament as 2015 for New Zealand (or in general) bu...

Their first item needs to be to ditch the women's division. Yeah, the women’s division is one of the few things they’ve actually improved in the last five years. charlotte flair might be the best wrestler on the roster I'm not against a womens division, they have a few good wrestlers but the idea t...

Those wrestlers last night looked like way bigger stars than any of the WWE wrestlers have in recent years. It felt real.... not scripted and fake. That was probably the best PPV in the last 21 years. This also proves how much WWE handcuffs their talent and how out of touch Vinnie Mac is. Plus we g...

Ummmmm. Okay.

Glad he clarified that tiger plays golf.

I’m not sold on any rules changes.

Mo Rivera, Mike Mussina, Roy Halladay, Edgar Martinez all elected to the HOF. Mariano was the first unanimous selection in history. Thoughts?? Mariano was the best to ever do it and there really is no close second. If anybody should be unanimous, it's Mo. Doc and Moose are certainly deserving of th...

! is back.

I’ve never really understood the mechanics of this he shutdowns that periodically occur as part of the US budget process. The idea that a standoff about a contested element of funding can result in uncontested expenditure being frozen seems crazy. I’m sure there are systemic reasons for why it works...

Who knows, perhaps this whole era of Trump could be seen as the last cultural sputtering of racism on a broad scale. Who knows? Everybody . Everybody knows that’s not the case. Jesus wept, do you really think there’s any validity to this inane musing? Because that level of analysis, and that sort o...

Wasn't Las Vegas their most "successful" market?

Yeah, but they’re getting the Raiders in a couple of years.

Kind of strange and controversial that WWE decided to finally pull the trigger on that Ambrose heel turn they'd been teasing immediately after he and Rollins won the tag team titles and on the same night that their Shield "brother" Roman made his leukemia announcement. You'd think they'd ...

Congratulations WOLF! Dominant from the All-Star break and now a sixth championship in 13 seasons. Definitely the Dynasty of Sludge Baseball! After a brutal first few weeks of the season, I was happy to wind up with a third straight top-3 finish, but it never seemed like my team could put it all tog...

We're now getting closer to truly delegitimizing Trump's actual election. No. We're getting closer to "collusion"--which is a tricky term, since it's debatable whether or not it's a crime--being legitimized. Unless it's proven that voting booths were hacked in his favor, Trump was voted i...

I got into baseball in 1998 when I was at UCSD and the Padres went to the series, so Gwynn.

His stats were amazing, but it always astonished me that a guy who was not a small man, and could see the ball like nobody else, didn't hit for a little more power.

Boxing is a good one. They've declined so far, they can't get much lower. Yeah, boxing is fucked. I much prefer it as a sport, but UFC has just run rings around then in terms of the events they put on. Monthly PPVs with multiple meaningful bouts and a clear cut set of titles? Boxing can’t come clos...

Carson Palmer just announced his retirement...Happy trails! Raiders expected to announce Gruden's return as head coach. Hope it works for 'em after he's been gone from coaching for a decade... There was a snag in that. They ignored the Rooney Rule and didn't interview a minority candidate. The pena...

For a guy obviously likes to think about what he posts there are also a lot of fairly simple/stupid questions.

I'm sure he's not a bad person, but somehow amongst all the trolls, retards, assholes and borderline personality disorders that populate this place, his posting style just fucks me off the most. So unnecessarily convoluted and so seldom clever. A total bore.

Pretty stuttering season for The All Blacks - the first two loss campaign since 2011. But still some good results in there.

All Blacks just DESTROYED the Springboks.

57-0. Jesus Christ.
