Hadn’t heard that, good job breaking the story.
It was one of the worst apps in existence. They’re cutting ties with google integration but all it means is that google will make their own apps for youtube and maps. Still think Apple’s decision to pull transit directions is one of the worst decisions they have ever made. Four beta releases in to iOS6 and there still isn’t a routing third party app that works with their new map application.

I knew they would bitch about the calls. I thought the calls could have gone either way. Canada let a really bad goal in and gave up a pk for the other one, that have themselves to blame.
August 7th, 2012 at 8:30 AM
Half this roundup feels like it was pulled from a DeLorean.
Lochte should be pulling better tail than that. Yikes.
August 7th, 2012 at 8:31 AM
Yeah except that the PK was not actually a handball and the free kick that led to it was a farcical decision. The USWNT should be embarrassed and deserve to get crushed again by Japan.

I agree with you. The thing is, though, if we had lost like that the Internet would be going ballistic this morning. Fox would be calling for boycotts of syrup and bacon. Some of those calls were real, real close and I don’t blame them for being pissed after a close, agonizing loss.

I don’t blame them for being pissed after a close, agonizing loss.
I don’t blame them either, but I knew when they called the penalty that would give the excuse for Canada to say they got screwed. It’s a shame, it was a great game. Funny how nobody mentioned that Kyle chick on team Canada and how she should have been booked for multiple charges from behind. I also hate the mind set of you can’t call that in that situation.

Alex Morgan went down inside the box on a clear and egregious foul; no call or card or PK from the ref. Granted, this was after the delay call that lead to the PK from Wambach, so you there was probably a bit of no-call to that Morgan foul.
August 7th, 2012 at 8:55 AM

I’ve tried to cut out sugar simply for weight loss reasons and I’ve mostly been successful, but cutting sugar out completely seems unrealistic.

How many times have you seen an indirect free kick awarded in that situation? They got hosed.
That’s not called often, but it’s a call that can be made. It wasn’t a made up call or a phantom offside. There were dozens of other call in this game that went to Canada, but the canucks will drill down on this one to say the big bad Americans get the calls and that’s why we can’t win. In reality it was one call in a game that went 120 minutes and Canada had their chances.

That’s not a penalty EVER because it wasn’t a handball.

Granted, the gap after Phelps and Spitz is wider than a Jersey Shore vagina..

The BBC has a gossip roundup each day.
Thanks, I’ll check it out.
Suarez just signed a new contract by the way.
Thank fucking god! I was sure he was going to transfer.
August 7th, 2012 at 9:55 AM
He’s the one player I was sure would stay. They just accidentally put out a video about the contract on the site before they actually announced it, oops.
Agger might still get sold though. Granted Duffy thinks he’s just an above average defender, granted he has no fucking clue what he’s talking about.
August 7th, 2012 at 9:55 AM
That freckled girl is DTF in a serious way. She’ll get freaky on that hot blond. Congrats on all that pal.
Must have missed this, but who cares. After the beatdown she put on that model she can do whatever she wants, that was an ass kicking.
August 7th, 2012 at 9:56 AM
Matt Biondi was pretty good. So was Tarzan.
I agree with your point, although I can’t call a guy with 11 Olympic medals (five golds) a middle of the pack swimmer. Have to separate his attitude from his talent.
August 7th, 2012 at 9:57 AM
To be fair, isn’t it only about 5 guys consistently? Heel being one of them.

You’re right, but it has to start somewhere
August 7th, 2012 at 9:58 AM
It is. TBLAD has been poppin lately.
I hope the Olympic uptic will spill over into Football season. Last year when there where 15 comments on a Monday night game I gave up on TBLAD. It has been fairly solid this summer.
August 7th, 2012 at 9:58 AM
model? You do know Sharapova is a great tennis player, right?
August 7th, 2012 at 9:59 AM
all that.
August 7th, 2012 at 9:59 AM
Prime-time weeknight football should be a fertile breeding ground for TBLAD. I don’t usually watch those Thursday or Monday games with other people, so that online interaction is welcome.

I see the almighty reigned supreme on someone else because he was disagreed with or “trolled”. My bet is the almighty was one of those guys who enjoyed getting a trophy every year in soccer even though his team lost 80% of its games and he never scored a goal. Dude even Peter King is allowing comments on SI and everything is going through. I get blocking some shti(race baiting threats verbal constant abuse) but really because a guy is annoying or calls you out he gets blocked. That is WEAK.

When does the Bleacher Report sale get a post? Or does a sports website being sold for $200m not meet the 1/3 sports, 1/3 media, 1/3 Kate Upton’s tits threshold anymore?
Ohheelyeah goes away, and here comes the replacement.

This and the MLB playoffs are when I am usually back on. Aside from that, I am usually asleep before it is “After Dark”
August 7th, 2012 at 10:03 AM
you would think that but how many TBLAD users actually get the NFL network? If it were on ESPN or one of the big 4 networks, then I would agree but it being on a network that is not in the majority of US homes, I’m not sure there will be a huge discussion.
August 7th, 2012 at 10:03 AM
Fucking REALLY?
August 7th, 2012 at 10:03 AM
It used to be. Sunday Night Football used to get 400+ comments no matter who was playing. Last year took a dive for whatever reason.

why should the british guy have to call it soccer? Why should he have to cater to the general ignorance of the American audience when it comes to terminology that the rest of the world uses?
August 7th, 2012 at 10:05 AM
Agger might still get sold though. Granted Duffy thinks he’s just an above average defender, granted he has no fucking clue what he’s talking about.
Yeah I saw that. Looks like Bellamy’s gone too.
I don’t know who Duffy hates more, OSU or Liverpool.
August 7th, 2012 at 10:05 AM
Too many people talking about their fantasy teams for this guy
August 7th, 2012 at 10:06 AM
The twitter has a lot to do with this.

August 7th, 2012 at 10:07 AM
Well first of all the rest of the world doesn’t call it football, Canada also calls it soccer, and considering we’ve been calling it soccer for the better part of a hundred years and it comes out of association football, shuttup.

I agree with this. The upswing in Twitter coincided with the downswing in TBLAD.

Americans calling it football is beyond pretentious. It has been soccer here since before World War II, those who call it football are trying to sound snooty. They’re the kind that call bars “pubs” and insist on spelling Brazil as Brasil.
August 7th, 2012 at 10:12 AM
Typical media, giving more attention to the Eagles when the Saints are involved.

This alone makes me want to call it futbol
August 7th, 2012 at 10:15 AM
Yes yes I know, America’s Hat and all, but the fact that neither of the teams involved in the game call it football is what I was getting at.
August 7th, 2012 at 10:15 AM

My housemate that got evicted got replaced with a woman that has two elementary school kids. This morning I walked up from the basement fresh off pissing in the floor drain because the other roommate was in the bathroom to find them sitting at the dining room table. I fucking hate children but children being in my house, god bitch get the fuck out.
August 7th, 2012 at 10:17 AM
Ordered Sunday Ticket yesterday. Can’t wait to see the Chargers each week.
Also, I’ll be 800 pounds in January, what with all the comfort food I consume as SD fritters away yet another season. Got that to look forward to, at least.

She is divorced with kids and has an apartment in the suburbs where she lives half the month, when she has the kids. Said she wouldn’t really ever bring them to the house because she would be staying here when she doesn’t have the kids. Took less than a month for that to fall apart.
Pisses me off though because I’m moving out early and have to find someone to take the lease and now it’s going to be harder to find someone.
August 7th, 2012 at 10:21 AM
Had the same thought…minus that no offense part, but I doubt Mole would be offended by much.
August 7th, 2012 at 10:23 AM
So she’s not even attractive. Rough.
August 7th, 2012 at 10:24 AM
Not at all, like I said, I was standing in the basement pissing on the floor right before this.
August 7th, 2012 at 10:28 AM

Also semi-related, I piss in the shower every morning.
August 7th, 2012 at 10:30 AM
Who’s the one that pisses/pissed on their dishes? I wanna say SC or Spence.
August 7th, 2012 at 10:33 AM
solid opinion, terrorist.
August 7th, 2012 at 10:35 AM
I’ve pissed in the sink more than once but have the common decency to make sure it was devoid of dinnerware at the time
August 7th, 2012 at 10:36 AM
i didnt piss ON my dishes, i pissed in the part of the sink that we didn’t use for anything other than pissing. and my roommate walt was the one who used it the most frequently.
/best was when he and my other roommate colt got in an argument, walt was already hammered in the early afternoon…goes to shower, comes out buttass naked* with a towel wrapped like a turban and starts pissing in the sink while giving colt the finger…one of hte funniest things ive ever seen
*walt was one of those people that got naked far too frequently to the point where a) it wasn’t shocking anymore b) it was funny because, well, he didn’t have much to be proud of. he got naked when i beat him in horse and walked back to our apt, stopping, whilst naked, to talk to some of his friends he ran into. he got naked and started dancing in a fountain when we got hammered at TCU once and the cop who came by just laughs and says to me “get him outta here.”
he was a funny dude.
August 7th, 2012 at 10:36 AM
I always piss in the sink to christen a new residence, but the thing that is more disgusting than that is washing machines that hook up to the kitchen sink and dump all the dirty laundry water back into it. Horrible.
August 7th, 2012 at 10:37 AM
this comment is all kinds of awesome.
August 7th, 2012 at 10:40 AM
Okay, I pissed in the sink too when I had a roommate that was using up the bathroom, I just thought it was actually on dishes.

The roommate I share the bathroom with is bald yet takes twenty minute showers. It’s infuriating. I’m reaching Howard Hughes level of Gatorade bottles full of piss at this point.
August 7th, 2012 at 10:44 AM

not if you have cute woodland creatures back there
August 7th, 2012 at 10:45 AM
You sound fukcing pathetic. You hate kids, you piss in floor drains, have roommates who get evicted, and you GET replacement roommates. Why don’t you just get educated get a real job and buy a house.

My old roommate would continually have 45 min – 1 hour long showers.
