    If $1 million can be considered "peanuts," where does chicken scratch or chopped liver come in?

    And someone sought advice (albeit under pretense) from a man named Slim?!?!?!?!?

    It's been my understanding for months that the U.S. was going to drop out for 2018 and England was going to drop out for 2022. I don't think there was anything sudden about it.

    But, seriously, the chairman of the disputes resolution committee is named Slim Aloulou? Sounds like something that should be advertised after the late-night Nevada-Hawaii game. Get the figure you've always wanted with the new Slim Aloulou.
