Is there any appetite for “The US got the easiest draw of any of the host nations” conspiracy theories?
Maybe one including Aaron Judge just to spice it up?

Releasing Epstein files could jeopardise my appeal, claims Ghislaine Maxwell
A court filing from her lawyers argues releasing the documents would "prejudice" her chances of a "fair retrial" should her request for one succeed.

If we’re truly past the point of no return, then can we at least get some funny shit to happen in 2026 like “Donald Trump pressured the NFL to change its name to the National Manball League”
Trump: "When you look at football in the US, soccer -- we seem to never call it that, because we have a little bit of a conflict with another thing that's called football. But when you think about it, shouldn't it really be called football? We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff."

What an obsequious, toadying, servile, brown-nosing, corrupt little cunt Gianni Infantino is.
The FIFA 'peace prize' is the most cringe-worthy, pathetic thing I've ever seen in my life.
Football deserves better than this travesty of a ceremony and ruling body.

Look sometimes when you’re a midtable team you just have to be happy grinding out a point at against a top four contender.
Even at home. Good job from Liverpool against Sunderland.

The Trump administration's plan to increase ICE's presence in Minneapolis and St. Paul has sparked concerns among local leaders and residents. Critics argue it amounts to racial profiling, violating d...

I would love to live in a much better world, but at the very least one where when the President of the United States vows to ethnically cleanse a major US city and then calls his own VP incompetent, the entirety of social media is like “HOOOOOOLY SHIIIIIIIIT!”

To me, that yellow card disparity reveals a substantial, game-affecting difference in how the two sides were officiated.
Chelsea committed 12 fouls, Arsenal 13.
Chelsea got one yellow and one red. Arsenal got six yellows!

Went our first thing this morning and bought a bunch of arts and crafts stuff for the kids to do all day. Returned from the store hailed as a hero. Then fixed the basement toilet, dishwasher, and garbage disposal. This is the day after Thanksgiving version of a triple-double.

At 45 I’ve made my peace with not being able to play sports the way I used to. But not being able to eat obscene amounts of food on Thanksgiving like I used to is tough.

Obviously family and friends, sure. But today I’m real thankful for two of the strongest men in my life - two guys who never get the praise and the adulation these days but are always just there for me. My President and Vice President.

My wife organized a thanksgiving day play date with neighbors so that one parent in each family could cook undisturbed. Further proof that she is a genius.

So Olivia Nuzzi is clearly a piece of shit who can never work in journalism again after this.
And, also, Ryan Lizza is clearly a piece of shit who should never work in journalism again after this either.
We're all agree on that, right?

I have not been a fan of the clear “best team in the world” since the late 90’s Yankees. I fucking love this Arsenal team.

Bayern Munich have been beaten for the first time this season.
They went 18 games without defeat until the visit to Arsenal.

That second half from Arsenal was fucking sensational. As good as you could possibly hope to put in against a team as good as this.
Bossed it 100%. Madueke with his first goal, and then Martinelli, no less than we deserved. And Bayern offered NOTHING after the break.
Hello Europe, we're Arsenal
