gawker writers place of retirement

“We work for a sports website, but we really want to be real writers, so Concourse posts are the things we want to write about regardless if anyone actually wants to read them.”

Hillary is way more of a mainstream republican than trump ever was

Also (Dystopian hot taek alert):

When they started using injuries as an excuse to squeeze in more commercials, the whole thing got shittier. Football already had too many commercials and interruptions as it was. Then, some asshole decided to combine that problem with the hip new problem of people noticing injuries into one big fucking super-problem.…

This post and the comments thread is an object lesson in how partisanship makes people incredibly stupid. In another comment, people keep mocking someone for saying that the United States is supporting Al-Nusra and that a no-fly zone would require boots on the ground, both of which are absolutely correct. But because…

the idea that ISIS is the only ultra-violent reactionary sunni jihadi militia operating in Syria is pretty rich too.

Albert, I know that you’re an expert in the Syrian war and all, but basically all the rebel groups in Aleppo (& northern Syria in general) are hardcore Islamists funded by Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states, and include Jabhat al Sham, AKA Jabhat al Nusra, AKA “Literally Part of Al Qaeda”.

I can tell I spent too much time on 4chan (two weeks) back in 2010 because I fully expected that last guy to fly in to the World Trade Center.

Kind of fitting though that the worst game of the season was called by Berman and Dilfer

You CLEARLY did not read the article. General violence and domestic violence are completely different creatures. It’s why a big focus is on why anger management is not recommended for spousal violence. That is about power and control, not about being physically aggressive at your job.

I can’t wait for Brees to retire and join ESPN as the “I’m not racist or mysoginistic but” commentator of the future. We're so close!

Speaking as a veteran, this whole thing has fuck-all to do with veterans, and the people saying we’re being somehow “disrespected” by Kaepernick’s actions are full of shit.

Can someone explain to me why not standing for the national anthem or saluting the flag or whatever is more disrespectful to the troops than, I don’t know, poorly funded health care for veterans? In fact, why aren’t all really horrible actions disrespectful to the troops? How dare you mock the sacrifices made my…

Conservatives: “This country is so PC no one can speak their mind!”
