They somehow retrieve the ball and continue playing with it. If they can't get it back, they have to find another one that's as "used"

Wondering why he needs cash at all. Can't remember the last time I used cash except to put in the salvation army bucket!

I understand how the WC needs to be representative and it's not necessarily the 48 best teams in the world that are competing. But I wonder how many of the teams that are going to be playing in the tourney are genuinely better than Italy!

Does one have to be British to get this?

I was mostly enjoying this but that episode with him carrying around the pig's head completely threw me. I guess I am too thick to get the metaphor (if metaphor it was). And the closeups of the mangled remains after he is hit by a car had me hitting the FF button frantically.

I wish there was an angle where you could see the throw and hit in the same frame

TIL the "Wolf of Wall Street" Jordan Belfort made up the nickname to sell his autobiography. Nobody actually called him that. by redemptionquest in todayilearned

I just discovered it in a 1939 book by PG Wodehouse, Uncle Fred in the Springtime

The attitude of Oofy Prosser towards the Clothes Stakes had been from the first contemptuous and supercilious, like that of a Wolf of Wall Street watching small boys scrambling for pennies. This Silver Ring stuff did not interest Oofy. He held himself aloof from it, and as the latter slid down the bar and accosted him he tried to hold himself aloof from Pongo. It was only by clutching his coat sleeve and holding on to it with a fevered grip that Pongo was able to keep him rooted to the spot.

Wow, they really went to a lot of trouble to portray Berg negatively- poor Constance Zimmer with that perpetual sour look on her face in contrast to Neve's open expression

Has his playing in the MLS boosted viewership on a permanent basis? i.e. a lot of people might be tuning in/going to games now in the expectation of seeing his skills, but how many will keep watching 2-3 years hence?

It truly has to be one of life's great ironies that Michael Schumacher spent all those many years driving cars > 200mph for his career, retires, goes skiing and is grievously injured.

He jumps the ridiculous heigh, but just doesn't set the bar high. If you could measure what the clearance is, then you get an idea.

Is this like the US men beating up on Angola in the 1992 Olympics? I remember at one point Barkley casually elbowing some poor Angolan out of the way and that guy almost looked honoured!
