I does not bode well because exclusive programming is just the latest item in a long list of Xbox One specific features that got sent to the trash can. It also was a domain with a big potential for growth, so something for the long term. So getting rid of it is a bit like saying 'we don't...

Araysar: Is Petropavlovsk a common name? I thought it was a city in Kamchatka.

A guy saying something on social media is not news, it's a source. News is what a journalist delivers after he or she gathers, compares and analyses sources.

I was surprised to see Marc Gasol and Joaquim Noah in these teams, but the younger of the Gasols moved to the US as a teenager and Noah is actually born in New York.

Oh. And Zidane and Forlan never were?

Something bugs me in this silly comparison image... what is a MOM? Please tell me it's not a Moment of Magic.

The Thunder can still find a way to win the good old fashioned way: train hard, get better, get smarter.

nm.

I tried to contribute, but I had to use a local version of craiglist and for my sanity (and my bank account) I am going to assume all the pics I saw were fakes.

A bit of tennis history happened today as Hewitt beat Karlovic in the final of Newport's Hall of Fame Championship: That's the australian's 30th title (and the second this year!), but, more importantly, at 68 years and 10 months between the two, that was the oldest tour level final since 1977...

A full moon picture looking like another full moon picture is hardly surprising. The two pictures are indeed different though.

It's Platini that pushed for that. The idea is to have the players among the crowd and to allow the winners to make a guard of honor for the losers (customary in rugby).

There are four awards: best keeper, best player, best scorer and best youngster. Scorer and youngster could not be awarded in person, so I am sure the vote for keeper and player were slanted toward players that took part in the final. Giving Neuer an award is fine even if the likes of Ochoa or...

You could say that missing Tiago Silva was what hurt Brazil defensively against Germany but.... it was not much better with him there.

Aren't all these transfers mostly unconsequential considering Popovich stays in San Antonio?

The five episode format of the last season of Treme forced it into the miniserie ghetto that has no writing nor directing award. On top of that, not even an acting nomination for Clarke Peters, be it in lead or supporting. A shame.

Just finishedThe Republic of Thieves(Gentlemen Bastards 3). Like the previous two: ENtertaining read, great dialogues, interesting contexts (one half dirty elections and one half theater company), but somewhat underwhelming plot and resolutions.

In the immortal words of Bill Shankly: 'Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.'

Well... if the penalty is not well placed and the keeper chose the correct side it's legitimate to hope for a save. That was the case for two of them. One was just wide enough and the other just hit hard enough OR the keeper did not dive far enough and did not have a firm enough hand.

Wimbledon.com posted the transcript of the english press conference with Federer. I suspect the french newspaper used a bit of it and a bit of the french part of the event (that has no transcript).

This article is full of fail. I searched for 'steamer' in it and found nothing.

It will be a strange match tomorrow for the brazilian fans. If Argentina wins, the arch enemy might win the World Cup! If Argentina loses though, Brazil risks getting curb-stomped by the arch enemy!

I wondered something the other day: when Nadal, Djokovic and a little later Murray burst into the scene, they knew that if they wanted to get anything out of this tennis career their were starting they had to become better than Federer and the swiss knew that to stay at the top he would need to...

Not much, if any, but my answer was more about the first half of your statement; about diving becoming a problem 15 years ago. It might be though that it became more of a problem in some leagues 15ish years ago because of an influx of players coming from leagues were diving was rampant and/or...

I can understand the feeling: it's not a question of quality but of variation. The domination of the members of the club has been outrageous, unlike anything ever seen before in the sport and it does not exactly look like it's going to stop just yet. I made that point several times already...

If you think diving started 15 years ago, you must be 20!

There was one in my favorite match ever: Italia vs South Korea during the 2002 World Cup. Totti got a yellow for diving in the box and was sent off as it was his second. A great moment, because Totti, probably for the first time in his life, did not dive on that particular occasion!

The thing is it's a sport with people who run and that is played with the feet. If you hit the feet of someone who runs, if you nudge someone while his balance is made precarious by the maneuvering of the ball, shit is going to happen. You don't even need to touch the other player: if a guy sees...

I am not too sure what happened in the final because I had a heart attack mid way through... just kidding but it could have been the case! We more or less got the match we expected as far as what the two players produced, but the dramaturgy of it all was unexpected. Federer tried to be...

I did not watch the final, but 6-0 sets are not uncommon in women tennis because the serve/return equilibrium is, generally, slightly in favor of the return, while it is firmly in favor of the serve in men's tennis. LOL at Pospisil and Sock winning the double though! That's so far out of left...

We have our final. The old generation is not old enough or the new generation still too young. DJOKOVICmanaged to do just enough against an inspired but ultimately too generous Dimitrov. The Bulgarian served brilliantly through the first set... only to gift a break to his opponent with four...

If there was a damning video, he would not be pleading non guilty.

My man Thabo is going to the Atlanta Hawks? They went 7 games against the Pacers so they must do some things right...

Good luck proving intent unless he told someone or wrote something about it. They can make 20 theories as to why he should have noticed his son in the car, that will not change the fact that the very definition of being distracted is 'not noticing things that you should notice'. They can...

Since Obama got elected it's cool again to be american. Just say you voted for him! Also, while food poisoning is certainly avoidable, any radical change in diet will have your digestive system not too happy (nothing bad though). That said, the average north american diet is not that...

Supposedly, a very good movie. I believe it seeing this trailer.

Nadal might have been a little bitter after his defeat but he pointed several things in interview that are not untrue: - It's a lot easier for Kyrgios to play the way he did as the youngster with no pressure enjoying the big stage. Can he play through a season like that and know similar...
