I’m a fan of MLB’s system of salary, but the parity is unrelated. Eight different teams won the Super Bowl in the past ten years, too. The AFC, ran by the juggernaut Patriots, still had five different winners over the last ten years. (Eight different NFC winners.) The NFL and MLB have parity because football and…

I’ve heard that. But it doesn’t change anything. Imagine being in a vacuum where you’re ugly and you likely have no friends and you’re the offspring of backwoods racism. It’s a hopeless reality. If he did say some racist shit, he’s likely parroting something he heard from his uncle. Racism is bred, not born.

I feel incredibly bad for the kid. He’s a victim of bullying from middle of nowhere Tennessee. He probably feels incredibly alone and isolated. He’s likely to live and die in the same town he’s in now. I love this kid’s story because it gives him a chance to feel special, a feeling that some people never have. And now…

I’m sorry. Us Philly fans say “pace yourself,” but we really mean “It’s the fourth quarter, time to pull out the remaining three airplane bottles of Fireball from your underpants.”

Two beer max at the concession stand. Get two big boys and pace yourself.

It wasn’t a mistake to originally keep him; Okafor filled the voids that Embiid and Noel would leave with injury. The mistake was keeping him after Embiid returned from his medical exile. Now you have too many mouths to feed and Noel is equally unhappy.

In Okafor’s defense, McConnell and Covington were playing big minutes early and often. Okafor played big minutes early, but not often.

Two King first-rounders for the rights to two Europeans? Sacto did get their pocket picked.

Rebounding and defending can be found on the cheap, with both skills being among the easiest to develop. It may be too late for him, but Okafor’s scoring skillset is a nice place to start for a development project.

Getting useful minutes from Spencer Dinwiddie and Joe Harris in the absence of Lin and Russell is otherworldly.

Does giving Tee Martin a call three weeks after the job opened count?

Why is the onus on Stanton? The Marlins are the ones turning over each rock looking for a suitor. I would assume the past few weeks was Jeetz using the media to pressure Stanton into making a decision.

I’m assuming the rule doesn’t apply if you’re hiring the first target on your search. I don’t think the Bucs interviewed anyone else before giving the HC job to Koetter. Unless these teams grabbed the nearest non-white person for a quick, obligatory interview.

Is the Rooney Rule a good thing? Obviously it’s a great move for diversity on it’s face. But when an Eagles coaching search begins with an empty Duce Staley interview, something isn’t right.

That’s something I was trying to imply. The 360/3/Wii generation is gaming’s pinnacle. The jump from the sixth generation to the seventh is something revolutionary, three companies fixing their flaws and producing perfect products. The PS2 was outdated by Microsoft’s arrival. The Xbox was interesting but clunky. The…

But they’re doing so by marketing a brand new product in the PS4 Pro, double-dipping the market.

They both had three. And all three versions of last-gen consoles were virtually the same and marketed as such. The PS4 Pro is a different console.

That’s raw totals. The point I’m trying to make goes like this: previous generations had one console. Newer editions were slimmer, but the console remained the same. The 360, 360 S, and 360 E were all virtually the same console. This generation, both Microsoft and Sony introduced updated consoles that were truly…

I’m a Deadspin commenter. I’m sports-obsessed. EA and 2K should have me hooked. They don’t.

My thoughts exactly. How many types of console did PS and XBox release in the previous gen? A regular and a slim at most? This generation has three and sold half.
