That sounds incredible, but given that I cook lamb at home approximately 4X per year and besides this it's always been lamb chops, I want something that's just pure, lovely leg of lamb.

$4.99/lb for natural lamb this week. Yay for Thanksgiving sales.

caught the ball and all but threw it in the net, in extra time in a WC playoff qualifier against Ireland. Probably more blatant than Maradona and much worse than the likes of Rio Ferdinand or the Chilean goalkeeper all those years ago or whatever other cheats you can think of.

If you arent cheating, you arent trying.

In all seriousness, that was pretty sick, how is that missed? He handled it not once, but twice. Geezus.

I am back from the run. Which did not go well. I started too fast in the tempo portion (hell, probably even in the first mile warm-up) and the 4th mile of tempo ended up at something like 10:13 when I'm really shooting for sub-10. And I struggled to do even that -- as soon as I hit that mile I walked for a minute to compose myself before finishing the cool-down mile.

Yeah, the splits show that I sucked at pacing this one.

I remember it happening. I think val was translating it for us (in the community thread perhaps, or in SE maybe).

suspending Maradona for a year would help Argentina's chances to win the tournament

Henry deserves some sort of suspension from FIFA for the blatant handball. In fact, France should offer to replay this game imo. Blatant cheating sucks!

If Henry gets seen it is a yellow card at most. It sucks that it was such an important game but suspending him after the game is a massive overreaction compared to what else people get away with.

Chilean Goalkeeper Roberto Rojas faked being hit by a firework by cutting his face with a razor blade to get a match against Brazil abandonned. Chile got banned from the next World Cup as a result and he was banned for life but I think played again a couple of years later.

Not sure which Rio Ferdinand incident RoundTower is talking about. If it is the missed drugs tests, then lol at a handball being even remotely comparable.

since there are refs you pretty much have to "cheat" because you just assume your opponent would do the same thing. So I don't consider that dirty at all.

It's like when we used to play halo in college we had to all screen look cuz one of my friends was a notorious screen watcher
