In the Entmoot debate scene in The Two Towers, we're all supposed to feel Merry and Pip's frustration with how slowly the Ents debate on action to take. Gareth Southgate saw that and and thought: "Now that's how you coach a football tactic."

Liverpool's front line will face off on opposite sides in the semifinal of the Copa America.

We'll see a relief from the heat Wednesday through next weekend with temps in the low/mid 80s, which is below normal for this time of year. Isolated storms will be possible across the area Tuesday with better chances of rain and storms on Wednesday. #stlwx #mowx #ilwx

I guess...at least it's Messi's ankle that's iced, and not the knee. (Ankles can also be a bad injury -- ask Harry Kane -- but a non-contact ankle injury is probably slightly better than a non-contact knee injury.)

I love it when Cuti Romero decides to play American football. :D

Giovanni Lo Celso with as sweet an assist as you'll see on the pitch.

If I were on an international footie pitch, I'd sure as hell want Cuti Romero on my side. Heck, if I were in a back-alley brawl, I'd want Cuti Romero on my side.

I'll miss Pierre. He remains a good midfielder, but his skill set is a poor match with the style that Big Ange's Spurs play now. I hope he has a brilliant rest of his career. I will not miss constantly thinking of him as "Fred" Hojbjerg though.

Loyalty to country, Integrity, Courage, Selfless Service. Traits of a true leader.

Joe Biden is a good man, and has been a good president. And I think -- whether his party wins (or more likely loses) in November -- he's made the right decision, ultimately.

At this point, we're well down the path of Representation Bias. Castellanos could've hit a home run next week and people would be like: "See???"

BTW, the news of Biden declining the 2024 nomination was the first major news I ever first saw that was delivered by Windows to the taskbar on my desktop screen.

Martin Phillipps is gone, RIP. He was the driving force in one of the great if unsung bands of the last 40 years, the Chills, from the unlikely musical hotbed of Dunedin, New Zealand. I once spoke to Phillipps about the Dunedin scene. Here's an excerpt: shorturl.at/mH9Zv

One of the endearing things about the late Martin Phillipps was that he wasn't just a gifted songwriter and musician, he was a big music fan: he was One of Us. He knew the rush we get from hearing a favorite song. In fact, he named his band after that feeling: the Chills. RIP.
