Wake me up when they start playing on grass.

You’re not really blaming the partner for this woman’s mental dysfunction, are you?

Starred for discussion. Why do you assume that all criticism is coming from “feminists, gays, and minorities of all kinds”? I’m a regular white dude and I’m also offended by LOTS of stuff, primarily racist immigration bullshit. Like you though, the Swimsuit Issue doesn’t offend me at all - it’s an irrelevant dinosaur…

“Vulvajazzling” - I LOL’ed. :)

Ugh. So sorry for that young man and his family. Damn.

What about that girl who convinced her boyfriend to commit suicide over text message? Are her crimes on par with his? Should either of them get a second chance? Regardless, is it even possible at this point? They both did some pretty awful things. As minors. Which one made the bigger mistake?

Great post. Every autumn we hear the same story on almost every college football and basketball broadcast. While communities of color certainly face challenges, “The Streets” aren’t exactly the #1 fallback option for those who can’t play ball. The media just loves that storyline, though, and runs with it every chance…

Yeah, he’s a racist wingnut apparently. I think that’s been well known in the players’ circles for a long time now.

I’d like to point out that this made the Deadspin front page. That’s all well and good, no complaints! But....why is this on the front page, and there’s nothing about Albert Pujols hitting HR #600 last night and nothing about Edinson Volquez pitching a no-hitter? No sports news on Deadspin anymore, or what?

Just a wild shot in the dark here, but she may have a problem with alcohol. 

I do. And yeah, it does.

White Sox fans always shrug off Hawk’s racism: “That’s our Hawk! Yeah he’s an old-timer and a bit of a homer, but I love ‘em”. It always bugged me how Sox fans seem okay with this.

I also find that weird. I could see him doing “select road games”. Flying out to LA, Arizona, Seattle, New York, for a weekend series could be fun. Bert Blyleven in the Twins broadcast booth does that. He doesn’t go to Detroit, Cleveland, etc but he will show up when the Twins go to the West Coast. Is Hawk really…

Welcome to knowing what it feels like to have to watch Mike Pelfrey pitch every 5th day because you don’t have any other options.

I like it!

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!
