I have to say, I don't know if there are any gambling implications for the McGregor thing, but when I saw his "knee injury" I thought, "I haven't seen acting that bad since his role in the Road House," remake.

As of last night, my game hasn't updated. With that said, I was never going to buy coach progression anyway, so it didn't really affect me. I'm glad they're gone off general principle, but it's not like they aren't coming back as soon as Madden. The real bullshit is that this only really affects the people who play the game the most. It was basically a salary cap on coaching progression for people who play all 30 Dynasty seasons. It would be like one of those loyalty cards that charges you for an extra sandwich you didn't order after visiting a restaurant 10 times. I play the game quite a bit, and I doubt I've ever completed 10 full seasons.

@The Natural@Technico Support You guys win the board for the day. I legitimately laughed out loud at Jake Hager's rendition of God Bless the USA.

Herro never struck me as some sort of super genius, but you probably shouldn't pick fights with people who answer to the name, "Bam."

I'm 45 and a sugar momma sure would come in handy right now.

I was going to say The Simpsons, but the old seasons are on Disney+, so nope.

Don't get me wrong, I could see a co-op mode or something like that, but I have no interest in an MMO version of Fallout. Being a lone wanderer is kind of the entire point. I went from feeling like the guardian of the wasteland to having a bunch of random ass people running around doing goofy shit. I don't think I got through a full hour of the game and I tried multiple times.

Oh, and Asha Sharma, who just fired 3200 people, has been hired by the Federal Reserve to lead a task force on jobs. Please read this in Kris Zellner's voice, "America, everybody."

I have never understood who Fallout 76 was trying to serve from the moment it was launched. It is the exact opposite from what I want from a Fallout game in almost every single way.

Where the fuck did Vinny Del Negro get $8 billion?

I think it's a combination of a lot of things. The global adult literacy rate didn't hit 50% until the 1950s (this is insane to me). There are a bunch of stops along the way from completely and totally illiterate to the point where the global literacy rate is above 85%. In London, where we're discussing, literacy hit about 90% in the 1700s. The printing press was one huge factor, the King James Bible being translated into English was a huge factor, the Protestant reformation was a massive factor, and the industrial revolution was another huge factor. All of these things, including the fact that I kind of believe the conspiracy that Shakespeare wasn't one person, but a title like James Bond, have affected how English is structured. It's a fascinating subject. I used to be a grammar and usage snob, but a combination of learning things like this and listening to music (honestly, how many incredible songs are grammatically correct?) has made me realize that these rules are made to be broken. Language should be, and has always been, fluid. As long as the receiver of the language understands, the delivery of the message is fairly irrelevant.

For what it's worth, the video provided specific grammar and spelling rules, not all grammar rules that lead back to Caxton. Stupid things like why words like though, cough, bought, and ghost all have "gh" but don't sound the same is some 1400s shit where people pronounced all of those words differently than they do now. They stuck because books were printed to reflect the spoken language at the time. Between the 1400s and the 1600s, the spoken vowel sounds changed, but the written language stayed the same. Once the King James Bible was mass-printed, we have pretty much stuck with a bunch of spellings and grammar rules that are otherwise antiquated.

I feel like they could have called a penalty before the third goal, but I would have been surprised if they had called a penalty while watching it in real time. It was not some blatant missed call, it was the exact type of situation where refs swallow their whistle late in a game. Maybe I'm just used to how American football and basketball are officiated, but I would bet it would have been just as controversial if they did call it a foul.

I have not spent a single second of my life trying to defend Argentina from accusations of racism. With that said, the racism, whether real or imagined, was not the difference in that game. I sat down for lunch at about the 75th minute. By the 90th minute, I told my coworker, "This is worse than 28-3." I don't know what happened before the 75th minute, but I have to imagine they didn't let Argentina control the ball for the entire 75 minutes. They allowed Argentina to control the ball on their end for almost the entire time I was watching. You might be able to hold off some teams like that, but if you're playing against the GOAT, I'd advise against it. Seriously, there isn't a sport on earth where the equivalent of prevent defense works against an all-time great. Maybe they didn't have access to Ric Flair promos in Egypt, but by now the entire sporting world should understand that if they want to be the man, they need to beat the man. They let Messi hang around long enough to pull a win out of his ass, and now they're complaining that he had a handful of tights.

Michael Vick and Ray Rice have also dedicated their lives to trying to repent for their crimes. It's not enough for some, but Hardaway is not the only one. All three of them are prominent activists against their previous transgressions.
