Try not to freak out, but this post is about a $133 board game. That sounds like a lot of money. It is a lot of money.

A token of J.R. Smith’s eternal shame is up for sale on the NBA’s auction site. “He played 38 minutes and registered 10 points with 2 assists and 6 rebounds,” reads the very charitable caption. In some sense, this is the greatest piece of LeBron James memorabilia that money could buy.
In news that comes as a pretty huge surprise, Washington Capitals head coach Barry Trotz is resigning—not re-signing, but resigning—just 11 days after winning the Stanley Cup. He’s apparently got two pretty good reasons.
Meet Leah Vukmir, a Republican Senate candidate from Wisconsin who wants to bring her conservative know-how to Washington. She would like you to vote for her, and she would like to ask you to vote for her while sitting at a table with a gun placed at her side. Extremely casual.
If you want to learn about a completely mind-numbing “controversy” about who is and is not allowed to root for which national team at the World Cup, and in the process become more convinced that there isn’t much brain behind that enormous forehead of Landon Donovan’s, then you’ve come to the right place.
Hopefully you had Chalawan Por Onnut beating Rambong Leesorkanka in Thursday night’s Muay Thai matchup at the Rajadamnern Stadium, because poor Rambong suffered perhaps the most devastating knockout in combat sports this year.

The cool writers there listed cool things like smoking, revving a Mustang, and clearing a desk in anger. I immediately knew my answer: ordering two beers at the same time like…
We’re nearly through one full cycle of World Cup group play, which means I have watched more soccer in the past four days than I had in the previous four years. And do I have takes. Here now, the teams that are clearly frauds and some others that might be.
