As an aside the fact Shakhtar Donetsk and Dynamo Kiev are able to play Champions League football is awesome. Kind of -- Shakhtar are playing their home games in Lviv, in Eastern Ukraine, because of bad things still are in Western Ukraine, where Donetsk is. I think they've moved their business folks...

There's a difference between having a baby when going to school or on a green card, and going on "vacation " to have one. And did his parents have a Green Card (I don't know, I am just asking)? It is highly unusual for a foreign student who recently moved to the US to have one. Most likely, foreign...

Yeah the ship sailed on the "Steelers Way" a while ago. I, frankly, bought into it and I know that it doesn't exist anymore. For me, the "Steelers Way" died a horrible painful death the day the team ownership decided that "But she did not want to let him baptize their kid!" is an acceptable mitigat...

I don't feel bad for her. I feel like rule 1 of track should be "never celebrate until you pass the finish line" Of course she should not have celebrated. On the other hand, I can say that those few times I finished 10K runs, I don't think I was thinking too clearly the last few minutes... (The one...

And today, he gets indefinitely suspended by his team for disobeying the coach... If I were the coach, I'd suspend him, too. The inmates don't get to make the rules for the prison. Of course he deserved the suspension (the guy is actually quite a hot-head since his Sparta Prague days - got suspende...

Why? Because T&F is awesome. And the World Championship is currently going on.

And because I feel sorry for the poor young lady. A stupid mental mistake after running a great 10K race...

Life of a football player... Leo Kweuke (Cameroon), plays for Rizespor in Turkish league: First this in 87th minute (the coach he nearly runs to fight with is his own, not the opponent's, and the guy he argues with at the beginning is the assigned penalty shot taker): https://twitter.com/gelito_gt/s...

German chocolate cake, originally German's chocolate cake, is a layered chocolate cake from the United States filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting. It owes its name to an American chocolate maker named Sam German, who developed a formulation of dark baking chocolate that came to be used ...

http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/19/politics/2016-poll-hillary-clinton-joe-biden-bernie-sanders/index.html Clinton only beating Trump by 6% in general election polls now. He trailed by 16% in the same poll in July. Hillary is collapsing. Her chances for victory are as good as yesterday (1/2.16, 46%). Tru...

After watching CNN getting a collective heart attack over Trump's popularity surge, I decided to finally search for political markets odds. And, Hillary Clinton still has nearly 50% chance of winning the election (take 1 / decimal_odds to get the percentage chance, so 1/2.16 = 46.3%). Trump? Decimal...

well this page turned into a very uncomfortable contest I wasn't the one that went out of their way to insult someone. I steered clear of insults so far. Well, the conclusion that you drew was over the top. Basically that misery needs to be qualitative . So it's not hard to infer that someone might...

The real problem comes in when politics is brought into the equation... (ie. which party views the individuals involved as part of their "core constituency" their voting block?)

It makes no sense to you for a child to be able to be a citizen in the country that he/she is born in?

Thank you, the voice of sanity!

That hat is just something else.

Czech 1st League, yesterday. The goalie for Bohemians Prague scores an equalizer at 90+2 min. against Dukla Prague:

... Same. Had no problem with it, and it's an interesting perspective: the idea of coming to an atheistic faith ( :pop: ) in a largely Christian sport. My perspective exactly. Also, I have read somewhere that if a headline in a tabloid magazine ends with a question mark, then the answer is "No!". S...

The year was 1990. Spring. The Communist regime just collapsed in Czechoslovakia. And a group of Czech college math students regularly had their two Cuban classmates in their dorm rooms to let the Cubans read the newly free Czech newspapers and journals. Those Cubans had to be pretty quiet about it,...

I don't get why this Arian Foster thing is a story at all. I've never heard of a problem between atheists and theists before in any sport I thought the ESPN article about Foster was good, and he came out sounding smart, not pushing his beliefs on anyone. And why is it interesting to talk about this...
