  1. Clearly you haven't seen all the porn.
  2. It doesn't matter if there's a low chance. It's his job to keep goals out. And Messi didn't give up on the play--he's watching the entire time to see how it develops. You also have to keep in mind that Messi and VVD have completely different roles to play there and that there are different risks to the way they approach those roles. If the ball hits off the ball and lands in a spot where Messi could score but he doesn't, the only cost to the team is one missed scoring opportunity. If VVD gives up on the play and fails to track his man because there's a low chance that Messi will score but Messi does get the ball, then his team has just given up a goal. Like I said above, the margin of error for a CB is incredibly small--one fuck up can completely change a game in a different way than a fuck up by an attacking player. VVD fucked up by not tracking Messi and the result was a second goal, which makes it much more difficult for Pool to move on and also changed the tone of the game with Pool playing with less intensity (I won't say they gave up, but it certainly hurt their morale a lot).
  3. In Avengers, Tony flew through a hole in space and used a nuke to destroy a portion of Thano's fleet. A guy who is as smart as Thanos and who plans like Thanos would take the time to find out who did that.
  4. And that uncertainty is why you track the man. He pulls up as soon as the ball goes past him. If he doesn't give up on the play, but tracks Messi and stays goal side, there is a much lower chance that Messi scores.
  5. That's why you don't give up on the play and let the best player in the world get between you and the goal. VVD overall had some good moments in the game, but the margin of error for a CB is incredibly small and two goals from open play resulted at least partially due to VVD losing focus or giving up on a play. That's on him and the criticism is warranted.
  6. Went to LeRoy and Lewis for lunch on Saturday and they had pulled lamb that was freaking insane. I hope it's a regular on the menu.
  7. This Messi guy seems like he's kind of good at those free kick thingies. He might be able to make something of himself.
  8. We went for the first time this weekend. It was good, but nothing mind blowing. But I haven't seen a ton of hype for it since it's opened (there was a ton before opening), so I'd say it's reputation is about spot on.
  9. They put together a litany of losers and expected to win. I love the high expectations and annual schadenfreude when they inevitably fail.
  10. Well, Rockets fans do need to use 20+ year old gifs because they don't have any more recent successes they can point to.
  11. Is Son injured? Where has he been today?
  12. Ajax looking like the Harlem Globetrotters out there versus the Spurs.
  13. I generally dislike the Warriors and agree that reffing in the NBA is atrocious, but if it results in Rockets fans bitching, I'll allow it. And can't we all just agree that Harden isn't good enough to win a title?
  14. Vegas sucks for beer. Get stoned and drink bourbon instead.
  15. With strippers for cheer leaders and free weed and beer for the fans.
  16. I want to know what type of conversation Cap had with the Red Skull when he returned the Soul Stone.
  17. Holy shit. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
  18. Good god, that's ugly. Isn't Nike the one who designs the kits? They need to stop using bus seats and 70s carpets for their inspiration and just find something classy.
  19. Just following up here to say that since moving to Chicago, Kyoten has been named a James Beard semi-finalist, best new restaurant in Chicago by Chicago Mag, and one of the best new restaurants in the US by GQ. Chef Otto will be re-opening Kyoten in Austin this summer with a new chef he's been training. Hopefully it's close to as good as it used to be and the current Chicago location is.
