In Great Britain, they have a common expression: “Taking the piss.’’ When the Brits are “taking the piss’’ with someone, they’re having a bit of sport with them, mocking, teasing or making fun. In America, of course, that expression has an entirely different connotation. On Tuesday, at the NFL’s fall meetings in Manhattan, Jets owner Woody Johnson metaphorically leaked all …

Welcome back to the Times of Troy newsletter, where after one last rain-soaked showdown in South Bend, we pour one out for one of the great rivalries in the history of college football. After a century of meeting on the football field, USC and Notre Dame are not currently scheduled to meet again. This, by all accounts, is a terrible …

I should have zero sympathy for former United Nations ambassador and National Security Adviser John Bolton, who was just indicted for a whopping 18 counts of mishandling classified information — more than three times the number of counts in similar Espionage Act prosecutions over the past 15 years. When I did advocacy work for Chelsea Manning, Bolton suggested that if …

Music streaming services are fantastic at doing a lot of things. They’re generally affordable, they offer millions of songs a tap away, and they are superb for discovery and socialization. That’s why services like Spotify have nearly 700 million monthly active users, and competitors like Apple Music have over 140 million monthly active users. The way you interact with these …

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 needs no introduction at this point, and developer Sandfall Interactive’s journey through its creation has been tremendously well-documented. The stunning, surrealist adventure will live long in the memory for its gloriously executed narrative (and my clumsily executed parries). But looking back after five million copies sold, is there anything the team would have liked to have …

Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel have been remastered for Nintendo’s latest hardware with a handful of upgrades, and they’re available starting today. It’s no surprise that they’re excellent; these are critically acclaimed games, and two of the best-selling titles for the Wii, …

Sure, the Ryder Cup got fun on Sunday, when it looked like the day was going to be reduced to six hours of inconsequential garbage time.  Good for the fans who forked over $750 a ticket getting to see some awesome golf, see some sweat on the brows of nervous European players and hear some deafening roars around Bethpage Black …

I don’t want to make the Charles Barkley mistake.  I don’t want to repeat the Karl Malone error.  Michael Jordan won five NBA MVP awards and should have won at least seven. But a Jordan fatigue set in, and voters went looking for someone else. So after Jordan won two in a row, Barkley was elected MVP for the 1992-93 …

The perennially great Aaron Judge is MVP-worthy yet again.  But Cal Raleigh’s 60 home runs are historic.  And history plays here.  This will be recalled as Raleigh’s year, just as 2022 rightly was Judge’s year. Raleigh joined Judge, Roger Maris, Babe Ruth and some steroid guys as the only players ever to hit 60.  Source link
