I wear my helmet around my kids...but if it's just me, I occasionally go without. There's something very freeing about cruising around in the evening with no helmet, no gloves, no phones or trackers. It takes me back to a happier time.
I hate the metal rivets on jeans. I bought some new ones last week and wore them for the first time today. I didn't realize they had rivets on the pocket corners and I caught a river on the bolster of the seat in my car. I didn't tear the leather but put a nice gouge in it.
I’ve been watching a lot lately with Champions League, Euro Cup, and COPA. But man, it’s tough sometimes. The fakery and diving is so rampant, I don’t get how these guys can hold their heads up. Maybe because hockey is the opposite when it comes to stoicism and never showing signs of pain, but it just seems so contemptible.

I don't get the appeal of roundball
90 mins 0-0 game.
boring.
Throw in these theatrics, terrible stuff.
You could be watching the best U20 players in the world ply their trade

A lot of the tactics around embellishment has less to do with trying to draw penalties as much as it offers a water break for both teams.
When you are at the games, everyone drinks some water and stretches the coaches pull a few players to talk about strategy.
Becuase Half's are 45+ of continuous full sprinting in the hot sun with no timeouts the players like those breaks.
That said, it is also a clock burning strat, and that is annoying as hell, unless you're the ones doing it.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
I'm sure there's plenty of skill and athleticism involved, and I doubt you'd find a rugby player flopping around like a little b*tch, but from an entertainment standpoint, I didn't really find that video to make a particularly compelling case for watching rugby instead.

In fairness it was windy as hell and pissing down during that game.
The Frenchies put on a show

I don't know. Did you watch McAvi and his teammates getting shot throughout the playoffs? Some of those were definitely soccer worthy.
