I know you all follow me for my stupid and questionable sports takes, but does anyone want to talk about how they used the love actually music in the love island finale
The Los Angeles Angels, who employ Mike Trout, just drafted Jack Salmon
One day, someone will explain to me why our video chat technology, which allows millions of people to have seamless conversations every day and allows us to talk with people in space, is incapable of working with anything less than a 5 second delay as soon as a sports draft occurs

Can VAR review the last 100 years of Argentina's history
