I like it!

Rich people don’t enjoy living like poor people, unless of course they’re doing it ironically and/or trying to earn street cred. That cheese sandwich looks better than the airplane food we all get in coach. It appears there was a big problem with catering and someone (bless their heart) was trying to at least give…

I just don’t see any activity that encourages youth to spend more time in their basement as a positive thing. Kinda sick if you ask me.

The major articles from Compete were making up like 50% of the Deadspin front page for about a month, and still appear daily. Yeah, I guess that’s my complaint. I think it’s a mistake to do that. I see nothing wrong with Compete as its own sub-site, but it annoyed me as a reader to see half the articles on a good…

Justin Bieber pulls crowds much bigger than that. Doesn’t mean I have to respect his dweeb followers and crap music. Lots of idiots voted for Trump, too. The sizes of his crowd only depress me. There are a lot of dummies out there!

Yeah. I’m guessing that if, in college, someone had asked me to play video games for money I’d be damn happy to do it. I just can’t see how anyone over the age of 30 would be interested in watching this. I can see why “e-sports” (LOL) has become a monster, but I have a hard time thinking it’s a good development. I…

ESPN isn’t the only sports company changing the way they do business. Deadspin thought it would be a good idea to pack the site with professional video game highlights to “expand their reach” and “draw in younger, tech-savvy audiences”. Buzzwords galore in that meeting for sure, I imagine!

A lot of viewers “outgrow” ESPN by around age 30. They’re owned by Disney, which probably explains why they are so focused on engaging the young audience. Aside from actual games (ie: Sunday Night Baseball, etc) the content is primarily targeting teens and college kids. Lots of sports do it, too - I’ve more or less…

Never too late! Picks up track at the age of 93, and becomes a record-setting athlete at 101. As a guy who is just starting surf lessons in my early 40's, this makes me feel pretty positive about picking up a new sport later in life.

LOL. Truer words were never spoken. Praise that polar bear for his good ole’ fashioned mascotting! Much in the spirit of the old-timers, like Mr. Cubby Bear here. He just went about his business and brought his lunch pail and hard hat. No showboating, no razzle dazzle. He clocked in, scared the hell out of every…

Just took a peek at those EFL Championship standings. Good to see Newcastle looks to be on the way back up, also. Some other old fixtures in the EPL that have since been relagated are NOT doing so well: Aston Villa, Norwich, QPR and Wolves are all just sitting at the middle of the table, not going anywhere. And…

I agree with you, 100%. It’s not like we want to buy these whistles and gizmos. We’re being forced to protect our personal, private space and we deserve peace of mind. We didn’t ask for this problem and we shouldn’t have to deal with it. It’s a last resort for those of us on our last nerve. My neighbor has three…

He’s a California native. Most professional athletes spend their offseasons in their home states with family (if they’re chill) or in areas that provide an ample social scene (if they’re extroverts). Plus, Wisconsin is pretty awful. I’m guessing 99% of the team leaves between February - August. Same goes for most…

How about fuck you for equating that comment to a “craven defense of corportate profit motive”. The dude was providing facts on how ticket purchases work. Life doesn’t always go your way. When it doesn’t, you don’t get to whine and sue and throw hissy fits that disrupt the lives of others. Shit happens.

Bingo. Not a ton of talent in the women’s game at the HS level for several reasons, including social pressures, player development, etc. Even less at the college level. If you’re a superstar female hoops player who wants a shot at the professional level, where ya gonna go? Tennessee, Stanford, UConn.

I just hope to Jesus that he doesn’t sign with the Packers. Please, Jesus. But I know we deserve it after Favre, which leads me to think it’s going to happen. Nooooooo!

Grew up a Minneota North Stars fan. Watching folks in Dallas (DALLAS!) cheering for our MINNESOTA HOCKEY TEAM was just brutal there for the first couple years.

I think I’m in a sectional, for what it’s worth.

Meanwhile the play-by-play guy is doing his best Kevin Harlan. But what the hell. I say good for them, you gotta cut your teeth somewhere. I’ve been at the bottom of the barrel in the sports media industry myself, covering girls and boys state tournaments and whatnot for the local rag, hoping to break into the big…

Agreed. Minnesota vs. MTSU was more like an 8-9 matchup. Middle Tenn was favored in Vegas and by almost every expert, too. The NCAA Tournament Committee did pretty well this year overall, but that particular 5-12 matchup was strange.
