He needs Verne back, there was zero chemistry with him and Nantz/Hill. His schtick doesn’t work when the only thing he has to work with is Grant Hill earnestly calling him coach at the end of every single sentence.

You write for Deadspin, sleep in Drew

1:25 is the highlight, definitely an audible half shout/half groan when it happened

I thought the in thing was kale smoothies made in a 500 dollar vitamix these days, is that over?

Internet pornography and masturbation is a very stress free way to go through life

The goalkeeper was up field though, so that last defender still only made one player, not two. If that had happened on the other side of the field, it would have been the correct call.

Brave New World always did seem like more fun

I was at a game earlier this year where the goalie used black tape on the knob of an otherwise white stick, and there were multiple times from the other end of the ice where it ended up fooling me into thinking that there was a goal. I can believe that rationale.

This goal was so good, ESPN broke into their bowl game last night to show it. When was the last time that happened with a hockey highlight?

Why do I care about whether or not a site is biased? If I overprojected every single player by a thousand points, but exactly one thousand points, I'd have the greatest fantasy football predictions of all time, they'd just be 1000 +/- 0.00. Since it seems like the worst guys are +/- 0.26, and the best guys are +/-…

He hired the only guy ranked below him on the first chart as his DC. That'll do it

Yep, Drew has a case of the olds. Jock straps, cups, how quaint. Good story old man.

Yeah, that was a completely standard free throw that hit front rim and didn't get the roll. You don't shoot a soft high arcing shot when trying to miss

Minus the forward pass, this worked pretty well

I didn't even really need to google this to be absolutely 100% sure of it, but fuck it, I did it anyways, so why not?

The literal very first listing on London's craigslist

Texas and Massachusetts are the only two states which use NCAA rules instead of high school ones, so it would be illegal in most other places

It was a 36 yard field goal, so it had a high expected value already. Getting the ball into position was where the bulk of the WPA occurred, not actually making the kick. In addition, with so little time left, their winning percentage even after a miss couldn't have been that high, maybe 30-40% if I'm guessing, so…

For the record, the probability of something being more than 9 SDs away from the mean according to R is 1.128588e-19. But yeah, best to file this article under the heading of just because you own Excel, doesn't mean you have to use it.

Yeah, once or twice they flashed some stats up on the screen during those returns, and it was something like '16 kickoffs, 1 touchback'. It's just a completely different return game now.
