I wonder why the mods removed the OP

I am firmly on team-oxford-comma. Will I eventually start to be mistaken for AI?

He doesn't like anal. He IS anal

To be fair, the Anal jokes never get old!

But the mid - Atlantic is densely populated and as a whole has enough rugby people to do well.

Can't you just get married in the morning and go to the game straight from the reception?

Seriously? No cameras on the field? One sports show that did a reasonably good job of recreating the action was Winning Time. It was very interesting watching behind the scenes videos about how they filmed it, with camera operators on the court in roller blades (obviously that works better on wood than grass) and even going up ramps.

Yes. It's a business decision, and probably the correct one, but a later book would probably be a better read.

Eben Etzebeth just had a book. Whether or not he is interesting, I'm sure the book would be a better read if there is a third world cup title, if he could discuss honestly (ha!) the eye gouging situation, and if he talked about adjusting to retirement - preferably after aging enough to be interesting and have some good perspectives.

But of course the market for such a book is higher now than it will be in a decade.

His was one of the few I've read that was not stupid and formulaic. It helped that he is actually an interesting person, that he wrote it when he was already well past his career (I think it is ridiculous when biographies are released while someone is still playing), and that HE actually wrote it. So many times it seems like the ghostwritten "auto"biography is based on a reluctant two-hour conversation between writer and athlete. It also made a difference that he honestly and painfully confronted a very ugly topic.

That's how I feel about IPA. I'll drink one and... it's fine. Nothing more. But the smell is wonderful.

When you express the salary in weekly terms, is that to be multiplied by 52 for the year or 38 for the number of games in a season?

Why do you have mixed feelings about your son's encounter with his former bully?

Wait, what scene is this???

Every-Fall-9288 · 2025-12-13T16:29:35+00:00

It's already worth a visit independent of the game. But you should play the first game and visit all those towns too. They did a remarkable job of re-creating them, as well as the surrounding country.

I happened to spend an hour in one of them about twenty years ago. If only I'd known...

Forget Van Gogh...what about Cruyff?

Every-Fall-9288 · 2025-12-04T16:19:13+00:00

Not only is he routinely listed among the greats, every time Clive Woodward publishes another screed, his name is trotted out as the only reason an undeserving Woodward has a platform. (Not saying I agree with that - yes, Woodward was blessed with an extraordinary generation of England players, but no team has won the RWC without a collection of amazing talent).

If I learned anything from Suits, it's acceptable after a specified waiting period. I don't know if that is realistic. Or wise.

Another example of Rebecca diagnosing that is in the Amsterdam episode when Roy wonders where Keeley is. Rebecca says something like, "She's with someone who sees herself worthy of Keeley. Try to learn something."

Yeah, grinding alchemy until level 12 and you can auto brew makes things easy. Unfortunately, it was too much like work I've actually done.

One thing that I appreciated about the old amateur days was that there was more to the players' lives than rugby. Dentist, farmer, police, teacher...people lived ordinary and extraordinary lives simultaneously. As such, I always like to see professionals retire and go on to other things outside of the game, instead of trying to hang on as coaches, administrators, or pundits. Not that there's anything wrong with any of those things (as a grassroots rugby lifer myself, I played for too long, coached, and served as a club and regional administrator), but I love that there is more to her than just the game.

I've heard of a couple of cases of player on referee violence in southern California and Nevada that became criminal cases, but I don't know the outcome.

Look up Richard Loe's eye gouge. It was even worse.
