Just found a channel that streams Godzilla movies 24/7. I’ll bet Project 2025 would do away with that too.

Spain wins, Hickey wins. England wins, Hickey loses. I haven’t rooted this hard against England since 1776.

I'd really prefer it if the Netherlands won this match today (I'd be assured of winning hundreds upon hundreds of dollars).

The fact that Pacino was still permitted to appear in films without being widely ridiculed for whatever he was doing while talking in this film tells me this country isn’t worth saving.

USMNT going to pay more to pry Jesse Marsch away from Canada than they’d have to pay to hire Jurgen Klopp, watch.

The super slo-mo of the shot bouncing off the goalie’s face on the way in, though.

Because the governor burnt the rainy day fund on busing migrants to libtard cities?

Bohm dropping an F Bomb on live TV after grounding out while up 8-0 in the 4th is why this may damn well be the most Philly team since the 70s Flyers.

We’re going tomorrow night and I can’t even enjoy this since they’ll probably lose 2-1 now.

Anyway, the Biden ad in the middle of the fourth inning of the Phillies game is a really effective spot.

They are wrong about bullfighting. Sincerely, A 51-year-old guy still traumatized from going to one when he was 12 without knowing that they died at the end.

Yamal's two years older than the son I just picked up at summer Barca Academy camp. Just absurd.

This makes me sad because of both the prospect of seeing the Savannah Bananas in Philly and selling those extra seats off so as to bolster the World Cup tickets fund. Sorry for venting. This is where I come for that now.

I could easily write 5,000 words on this (6K pre-editing process). I won't. Suffice it to say, there were just too many cues that said grandmother was not familiar -- to the point, in my estimation, of commenting inaccurately upon specifics of -- our old neighborhood.

Sorry, just spent an hour doing a CSI level investigation on a grandmother offering 100-level Savannah Bananas tickets for $80/each in my old neighborhood's Facebook group. Partners in the investigation were my wife (via text at work) and my son (begrudgingly came downstairs). We declined purchase.

Just like none of the bold investigators backfilling Joe Biden's feeble debate performance with punchy anonymous quotes have ever figured out why Trump was rushed to Walter Reed, claimed he wanted a spur-of-the-moment weekend checkup, and a year later declared that he had NOT had a series of strokes
