FIFA will expand the World Cup to 48 teams, adding 16 extra nations to the 2026 tournament which is likely to be held in North America -- (link) - Beaker Jan 10, 06:12 7
- [deleted]
- I was hoping for 3 16-team groups -- nm - decline Jan 10, 06:21
- Lol, FIFA. -- nm - znufrii Jan 10, 06:16
- 16 three-team groups with the top two advancing to a round of 32 — was unanimously approved Tuesday -- nm - Beaker Jan 10, 06:13 3
  - Ok, so a dozen or so nations get thrown a bone and can say they qualified, but you don't really need to tune in until knockout rounds. -- nm - volnelk Jan 10, 06:20 2
    - watching for collusion in the final game of the 3 will be a fun passtime, not to be missed -- nm - Beaker Jan 10, 06:26 1
      - With only two games in the group round, it does feel like a team could not show up and get in trouble quickly. - volnelk Jan 10, 06:34
When headlines are cut off at precisely the wrong time -- (link) - ML Jan 10, 06:08 [Image] 3
- Well, maybe he is? -- nm - spamlet Jan 10, 06:22 2
  - I didn't even know hockey kept track of that stat. -- nm - ML Jan 10, 06:24 1
    - some would say it's the most important stat. -- nm - Reagen Jan 10, 06:43
LYC: lost 9 pounds in a week since started this new diet - Beaker Jan 10, 06:08 1
- Very nice dieting!! that is exciting and motivating -- nm - Epiphany Jan 10, 06:20

    - at 11 Oscars each they are all about even. :) -- nm - Diva Jan 10, 06:51
- checking the offshore odds -- (edited) - Strongbad Jan 10, 06:13 1
  - Amy Adams's collection of bridesmaid dresses is getting pretty extensive. -- nm - Baron Zero C Jan 10, 06:17
Wow. Bama was 97-0 under Saban when up 10+ going into the 4th quarter. Oops. -- nm - volnelk Jan 10, 04:55 1
- I turned the game off when it became clear Bama was going to run away with it (14-0). - Baron Zero C Jan 10, 06:05
So, one takeaway from last night - don't megafire your offensive coordinator out of spite just before the national championship game -- nm - prayformojo Jan 10, 04:51 9
- Watching the highlights, it doesn't seem like that was a huge issue. They scored 31 and drove to take the lead with 2 minutes to go. - volnelk Jan 10, 04:59 8
  - It was definitely an issue. The offense was really anemic for most of the second half. If they didn't get a big play, they didn't move the ball -- nm - prayformojo Jan 10, 05:08 7
    - IMO, this is more a sign of their limited Fr quarterback than playcalling -- nm - Strongbad Jan 10, 05:17 6
      - We should also give Clemson's defense some credit too. -- nm - CQ Jan 10, 05:55 1
        
        Clemson's DEF has a *lot* of future NFL players on it. It was great all season but didn't get Bama's press. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 10, 05:56
      - "Of the Tide’s 17 drives, 15 lasted two minutes or less." -- (link*) - Beaker Jan 10, 05:52 2
        
        Their most time-consuming drive took up 3:56 of game time in the first quarter and resulted in a punt -- nm - Beaker Jan 10, 05:53 1
        
        Clemson QB has also declared for the NFL draft -- nm - Beaker Jan 10, 05:54
      - Right. They scored 31 against a team that shut out Ohio State a week ago. -- nm - volnelk Jan 10, 05:38
Wasting no time. Tide early favorite to win next year. - volnelk Jan 10, 04:38
BAFTA noms are out. - Marlowe Jan 10, 04:14 15
- I find it interesting Gosling got the nod there. -- nm - Ender Jan 10, 06:56
- We got 10 nominations (IDB, FJJ & Denial). - LMS Jan 10, 06:15 5
  - FJJ? Is this FFJ? -- nm - MDH Jan 10, 06:29 1
    - Yep -- nm - LMS Jan 10, 06:41
  - [deleted] 2
    - Ha, I haven't seen Denial yet, it's being released end of the month. -- nm - LMS Jan 10, 06:18 1
      - [deleted]
- So Zootopia is known as Zootropolis in the UK. Interesting. -- nm - Baron Zero C Jan 10, 06:08 1
  - (and basically everywhere but here) -- nm - spamlet Jan 10, 06:20
- Denial in Best British Film? Seriously? -- nm - ty97 Jan 10, 05:05 5

    - It could have been worse. Ruth Negga got a Rising Star nomination, which is a public vote. -- nm - LMS Jan 10, 06:17 3
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Her chances would be better if Loving had been released by now, but it's out 3rd Feb here. - LMS Jan 10, 06:44
      - This Screen article assesses the diversity of the nominees -- (link) - LMS Jan 10, 06:20
Fightin' N*bbehs!! - Woo! (wish I could have stayed up). -- nm - Diva Jan 10, 03:56 3
- This. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 10, 04:20 2
  - Yeah. I went to bed at the beginning of the 4th when Clemson got within 3. -- nm - volnelk Jan 10, 04:31 1
    - I went to bed at around 17-7 Bama. -- nm - Diva Jan 10, 06:12

Have YOU seen Derrick Rose? If so please let the Knicks know as they would like to know... -- nm - Beaker Jan 10, 03:06
This is really quite well done. Too bad they cut the scene from TFA. -- (link) - Beryllium Jan 10, 00:58
*shakes fist at netflix* you were streaming just fine a moment ago, why did you just up and quit my show?! -- nm - Beryllium Jan 9, 23:49 3
- Netflix is judging your viewing choices and finding them wanting. -- nm - Baron Zero C Jan 10, 06:04
- The next scene was too perilous. -- nm - Netflix Jan 10, 00:11 1
  - Nothing is too perilous for Monsieur Hercule Poirot! -- nm - Beryllium Jan 10, 00:57
Prior to the CFBPlayoff, Clemson had never beaten an AP #1 or #2. They just beat an AP #1 AND #2 in a 9-day span -- nm - budice Jan 9, 22:55 1
- There are now 5 current Head Coaches in CFB with national championships. Dabo is the only one with H2H victories over the remaining 4 - Strongbad Jan 10, 05:18
Latest Sherlock episode (4.2)---Wow!! Fantastic! -- nm - Flavorize Jan 9, 22:31 5
- It was all about the reveal. The case was rather nonsense. -- nm* - Mop Jan 9, 22:34 4
  - Nonsense. Nonsense, he says. Pfft. -- (link) - Beryllium Jan 9, 22:55 [flickr] 1
    - Sherlock Trivia (NMBL) - howie Jan 9, 22:59 [youtube]
  - Yes, but I enjoyed the case too--some great performances there. They've especially added a lot of depth to the big three: Sherlock/Watson/Hudson-- - Flavorize Jan 9, 22:48 1
    - word to the im -- nm - Beaker Jan 10, 05:32
Wayne Brady is joining the Chicago production of Hamilton as Aaron Burr. -- nm - Mop Jan 9, 22:10 1
- I love Wayne Brady but that just feels wrong to me -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Jan 10, 05:34
What a great line by Seth Meyers. "Meryl Streep used her acceptance speech at the Golden Globes last night to criticize Donald Trump. That's right - pmb Jan 9, 21:43 3
- This is as good an opportunity as any to mention that Jimmy Fallon should never be forgiven for having Trump on the Tonight Show. -- nm - Mop Jan 9, 21:52 2
  - He was on Colbert and Kimmel too. He just got the easiest pass from Fallon. -- nm - pmb Jan 9, 21:58 1
    - Merely having him as a guest is not in itself offensive. Being a chummy lightweight fuckwit is unconscionable. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 9, 23:25
This day should not pass unnoted. 10 years ago today, Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone. -- nm - Mop Jan 9, 21:42 5
- 10 yrs ago tomorrow: sexting with Meryl Streep -- nm - Max Jan 9, 21:45
- I just finished watching that keynote. It was fun. -- nm - Qale Jan 9, 21:43 3
  - That phone is comically small by today's standards, but it did what it had to: set a baseline for all the features a smartphone should have. -- nm - Mop Jan 9, 21:46 2
    - I sure didn't have a smartphone in 2007. I had a flip phone, texting was a bitch, and it was always getting cut off for non payment. -- nm - Qale Jan 9, 21:53
    - Killed the mobile keyboard, too. And with it, RIM. -- nm* - Beryllium Jan 9, 21:47
Got to love the balls on Cory Booker -- nm - Jovian Jan 9, 21:34
Congrats to the Fighting Nubbys! - IrishStephen Jan 9, 21:32 7

35pts vs Bama Defense -- nm - budice Jan 9, 21:31
With Wednesday's completion of Houston Metro's Green Line it's now just one bus for me to get to the light rail network. - Qale Jan 9, 21:29 6
- When they gonna extend it to Galveston? -- nm - Meg Jan 9, 22:58 3
  - That's the bad news. With this portion complete, there are now no further plans on the drawing board. :( -- nm - Qale Jan 9, 22:59 2
    - They really do need some kind of transit or shuttle from the Houston airport to Galveston cruise dock. They'd surely have the business to support it. - Meg Jan 9, 23:09 1
      - I mean if you ever needed me... -- nm - Qale Jan 9, 23:55
- Yes, but it's a 60 minute ride on that one bus. -- nm - Mop Jan 9, 22:10 1
  - But it comes with free yogurt! -- nm - Qale Jan 9, 22:58
Oh wow, that's *extreme* offensive pass interference. -- nm - David Jan 9, 21:21 12
- If that was Notre Dame they would have called it... - IrishStephen Jan 9, 21:31
- not at all, the defender was holding the pick receiver the whole time -- nm - CQ Jan 9, 21:23 10
  - In watching the replay, there's a defensive hold too (which is *stupid*), but it's still a pick play. -- nm - David Jan 9, 21:24 6
    - It is a "pick play" , but the D is playing man to man. -- nm - CQ Jan 9, 21:26 5
      - I mean, you're still allowed to run routes, right? -- nm - CQ Jan 9, 21:27 4
        
        You are, but you can't block anybody more than a yard off the line of scrimmage. - David Jan 9, 21:29 3
        
        I didn't see anyone blocking anybody. Just my opinion. If anything, the dbs should have switched - CQ Jan 9, 21:33 2
        
        Either way, Clemson was better and deserved to win. - David Jan 9, 21:35 1
        
        Saban needs to recruit better on offense. -- nm - CQ Jan 9, 21:37
  - he didn't resist very hard. -- nm - Reagen Jan 9, 21:24 2
    - "Lie back and think of Namath"? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 9, 21:27 1
      - (... worst joke of 2017. Sorry.) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 9, 21:27
YES! Fuck you, Saban -- nm - CQ Jan 9, 21:20 2
- Yeah, take THAT, second best team in the country! -- nm - Mop Jan 9, 21:47

Hey NY Giants receivers, I hope you're paying attention. -- nm - David Jan 9, 21:17 2

Wow -- nm - JD Jan 9, 21:14
Wishful thinking or actual possibility? -- (link) - Beryllium Jan 9, 21:10 3
- They will find a way to spin it. It's flawed but they know how to fix it. And they'll have to come up with a new name. - . Jan 9, 21:47 1
  - Saw a post today, some moron who said the ACA was the good thing Republicans introduced after Obamacare failed. - Mop Jan 9, 22:12
- Why don't they just vote to change the name to Trumpcare, see much better, bigger, hugher it's great, believe me. -- nm - Z2G2 Jan 9, 21:14
That's one way to play call around a limited QB -- nm* - JD Jan 9, 21:10

Let's review every play just to be sure. Let's review the review too -- nm - CQ Jan 9, 21:03
Sarkisian has no idea how to call plays for this offense -- nm - prayformojo Jan 9, 21:01 1
- He's playing not to lose. Kiffin did a terrific job with a (currently) limited QB. - David Jan 9, 21:04
Wlir - Why the Culver's butterburger is called the butterburger... -- (link) - . Jan 9, 21:00 1
- So what you're saying is that no one has actually marketed a burger yet that is marinated and dipped in butter? I see opportunity! -- nm - Mop Jan 9, 22:43
