Related, does anyone else have an unrelated FB friend with the same name as them?

No, but I'm friend of a friend of another David Irwin. Once we both posted on our common friend's status and it was a bit disorienting.

I just learned like five minutes ago that Beto O'Rourke went to my high school. He apparently was three years behind me, but I don't think we overlapped. I think he came as a sophomore, the year after I left. I'm sure he heard all about me though.

I watched some baby loggerheads crawl into the sea on Sunday morning. One of the coolest things I've ever seen.

The report listed 99 offenders, with nine unidentified priests, and 90 identified but eight redacted names. The eight redacted names are the subject of litigation by the named subjects to hide their identities. The Diocese was the largest of the six under investigation for this report. It employs 2...

Someone explain why they took Kovacic without an option rather than a different player or "more money" to find a more permanent piece? All a play for the Champions League? Chelsea was in a tough spot for negotiating about Courtois, because he only had one year left, had been saying for a while he w...

Just watched it and really enjoyed it as well. I'm glad I read that Rolling Stone recap linked above. I had forgotten about Jimmy's meeting with the insurance company. That memory completely changes the meaning of that last scene. (And give me Ali over Lee, even in a street fight. Sure, he was a tra...

Jim Leyland doesn’t fuck around.

I feel like the point of my post was missed.

I think I just got mansplained to! Lol. Thanks Dave, our guy is a special education specialist and has been with my son for a long time now. Sorry. Just looking out. You'd be amazed how many people go into these things with no attorney at all. Of those who do get attorneys, probably more than half ...

Hey BFJ, my wife happens to be an expert on special education law. She teaches a course on it in her law school and she actually represents the state as a review officer in cases on appeal. She knows this stuff inside and out, although primarily for North Carolina. I can't exactly offer her service...

Wow, that was masterful by Cohen. That might have been his best work. He maintained composure and just let the room say the crazy stuff without really leading them much at all.

I find sparkling water nasty. They love it here in Europe, so I've learned to order still or "no gas" water.

But I was intrigued that so many folks are drinking LaCroix these days. So, I tried one a couple of weeks ago. Yep, still nasty. Just nasty water with a vague citrusy flavor.

It got into the 90s here today. I'm not in NC. I'm in Cambridge, UK. It's not supposed to be this hot and sunny here!

Stan Kroenke owns Arsenal, if that matters.

70%. The other 30% is owned by a Russian oligarch with more money than Abramovich.

Watching this ad for the next Governor of Georgia makes you wonder how Cohen found a way to make these idiots seem even more idiotic...

If you want somebody who failed Algebra. Three times. That's me too.

What's the issue about telling the guy yourself? Like, "Hey buddy, if you like tentacle hentai then you do you, but me and my lovely dining partner are trying to eat. Put your headphones on." Because you don't want to risk a conflict ruining your nice dinner. Ask the restaurant to take care of it, ...

My son chose Chelsea when we decided to start following an EPL team about 4 years ago. It's been a lot of fun. Don't let the bitter Arsenal or Spurs fans tell you otherwise.

I didn't know who he was too. Kind of recognized his name, but couldn't have told you anything about him. Having read an article about this, but without seeing most of the original Tweets - it seems pretty ridiculous to me that he was fired due to jokes he made many years ago. Weren't they very obvi...

The irony there is that I think it was a UNC professor who really kickstarted the modern interest in concussion research. And of course, Fedora may be a moron, but come on, when you have abs like this in your 40s, you're can't be questioned about manliness. https://twitter.com/brett_mcmurphy/status/...

In contrast to Phantom Thread, I rewatched Superbad last night. Hadn't seen that one in a long time. Holy shit, I'd forgotten how funny that movie is. I'm thinking it's very likely the all-time best of the high-school sex comedy/drama genre. Both Jonah Hill and Michael Sera are incredible.

I watched Phantom Thread on a plane yesterday. But not all of it. I gave up with about 45 minutes left, which I VERY rarely do with a movie. I just realized that I would rather be doing almost anything. The movie was incredibly boring and there were no characters that I liked. I simply didn't give a...

Ha, Italy's coach coached at my high school for a few years (after I was gone). He played at UVA and coached various youth levels in Charlottesville when I was a kid. I thought he was a dick. And was a 4 time AA, is in the Ohio, long island, and Charlottesville Hall of Fames. He has 26 years as the...

Are the players in these smaller countries mostly US players with eligibility in those countries? Or guys who are from those countries, but who went to school in the US? Or are there legit home-grown lax players from these countries?

They also had that Stones header cleared off the line by a defender in extra time. That shot goes a few inches higher or that defender doesn't rotate like that (he wasn't originally on the post, I don't think) and England goes up 2-1 in extra time. It was a hell of a game with some pretty great mome...

Every time I try to post in the images thread it logs me out back to the homepage.

Every other thread is fine though. What's up in that thread?

I don't know. It works for me. Maybe a browser/cookie issue?

Test for Johnnie.

Two more views:

I just saw that Duke measured Williamson at 6'7" and 285 pounds. And he can jump like that. That's unpossible.

I don't think we have an offseason thread... Anyway, you have all seen videos of incoming Duke freshman Zion WIlliamson dunking. If not, go Google it. He's amazing. He's built like Barkley, but dunks like Dominique. Check out this video of Duke measuring his vertical leap: https://twitter.com/DukeMB...

So, in the style of English Tabloids regarding Soccer Mangers... Dave...Sacked! Well...not exactly. But I got told a couple of days ago that my position is going away and I need to find a new gig by the middle of September. All this after working my ass off for basically the last 9 months or so. My...

I almost posted something about this a week or so ago (but I was on my phone and it was a pain). He's had three or four long-time girlfriends come out in support of him, including (I think) the girlfriends just before and after the accuser. From reading her story - the way he quickly set up very str...

Since we've now gone in this direction, does anyone know any Davids under the age of ~10? Neither of my kids have been in school with one yet. You know, come to think of it, I can't think of a single David who was a friend of my boys or played on a team with them. And my boys are now 17 and 14. I h...

We have a Japanese intern working in our office this summer. He went home this afternoon to watch the game. I'm guessing he's on his second bottle of sake by now. Hell of a game. After Japan's second goal, once they put Fellaini in, Belgium just shifted into a different gear. how is he today? He wa...

Done. Today's not blue.

I think it is time we start treating the national team more like international soccer. A player pool, a full time coach, etc. Not a random selection that comes together when it is important. Didn't we make that change about 10 years ago when Coach K took over? Did they revert that? From that articl...
