Interestingly enough, Deadspin’s own Tommy Craggs once wrote an article for Slate that compared Steph Curry strongly to Abdul-Rauf.

From Wikipedia:

Marv Albert still the best.

Tribalism. And the smaller, more intimate the tribe, the more people blindly defend it.
America > other countries
Confederacy > the rest of America
Mississippi > the rest of the Confederacy

Apparently she can’t change her eyebrows - it’s impossible with plastic surgery! But she can change her ears, which are as unique as fingerprints, and are completely different based on easily accessible photos.

That seems a rather limiting factor for including a photo on a major website. What if the Pulitzer winning photo was vertical, could you not post it? Also, Deadspin itself is mostly vertical in format anyway, so what the heck?

Jordan was a great player, but apparently there’s not any statistic that can show it.

She wasn’t entirely without agency.

True but also she was a Lady, daughter of an Earl, so it’s not like she was some peon sold into sexual slavery.

Royce Clayton generated 7.7 wins for Dusty’s Giants from 1993-1995. So at least Bryce is in good company in Dusty’s mind.

At least he was trying to use real numbers to support his policies. I’m sure Trump hasn’t dealt with any of his businesses’ numbers in 25 years, and doesn’t know a thing about any macroeconomic formulae or theories that have been invented since he was in college.

A.Rampersad is all about using a symbol to bring together two different elements.

A duel is between two people by definition. This was not a duel.

Particularly since last year, he was 1st team all-nba, 2nd team all-defense, 1st in PER, and 5th in MVP voting. But now he’s really trying!

The two times Shaq lead the league in scoring, Jordan was (a) retired, and (b) not eligible due to playing only 17 games, his comeback season.

Nor the recent Giants teams with an array of long hair and beards.

Aside from the glasses = unattractive cliche, I bet glasses are harder to light without getting glare and such. Plus it goes hand-in-hand with why so many actors have abnormally large heads. We like to see big, unobfuscated facial expressions on screen.

I feel like, at my age, I’d be just as injured by the dive + 10 foot slide she performed.

Re: being a “Vol” or any other alum. Colleges are granfalloons. As if a person has anything in common with any of the other million people who’ve attended there. Or as if your college is truly special and unique compared to all the others. Tribalism is the worst.

Um, who cares?
