PS - I found my church literally by Googling it. And in the current era, a church's website will probably tell you a lot about its personality and that of the people who attend it.

Um, no. You can be famous and infamous, you know. They are not exclusive.

Game of Thrones' opening is awesome in that it has catchy music, cool visuals, AND (most importantly) educates you on the confusing-ass world you're about to observe (it's a moving map). It's brilliant.

I realize this is probably the Deadspin community's cup of tea, but there's a really easy place to make adult friends: church.

You miss my point. If I was someone who REALLY wanted, say, Tim Raines to get in, I could vote Raines up and vote Maddux down. Because then I increase the odds of getting Raines into the Deadspin ballot (Raines is +1 and I cancel out someone's Maddux vote, meaning maybe just maybe Deadspin votes for Raines and not…

This is the only time I have ever, in my life, seen Justin Smith - who is a country raised, absolute badass - look starstruck.

It wasn't me, but I'm sure it was either (a) people who said "He's gonna get in anyway, let's vote for someone else or (b) people who said "I really want [borderline player X] to get in, so I will vote down a shoo-in like Maddux and vote yes on my guy".

The point of that article is well taken but the numbers are misleading. Nobody save super investors like Yale or Harvard has gotten 8% annual returns over that period. in fact, the average investor from 200o to 2012 made 0% return in the stock market and minimal return in the bond market. If you're making 0% return…

South Korea. South Korea is better.

Yeah Smith is awesome and could teach Star his moves but I was thinking long term. Smith has about 2-3 years left in him I'd wager.

This guy is awesome. I loved watching him at Utah, where he was double and triple teamed every play and was still great. When he fell out of the top-10 I was begging my team (niners) to move up to get him. They moved up to get Eric Reid instead, who is quite good, but just imagine a core of Star-Willis-Bowman. It…

This all started when there was mild cheering at a home game while on offense a couple years ago. Apparently Harbaugh went ballistic back at the home office the next day, and sure enough the next week we season ticket holders got "SHHHH... Offense at work!" construction worker themed video board signs the next week…

I want to try this. We used 7 alligators.

If only that Heckler had given Howard the Mutombo finger after swatting the ball away. Oh man... I am so bummed we didn't get to see that.

I thought the most amazing thing was that (it seemed like) the GSW went straight to the bench to plan their offense during the last timeout and the Thunder did nothing but high five each other instead of, you know, prepping their defense.

I was thinking more that 2012 year. So they've played 3 times in the last 24 games. Come on, that's not so bad. And in that playoff game the niners ran all over the Packers, with Walden the primary victim, so I'm sure it wasn't fun.

Walker is an ex-niner and I believe that's ex-Packer Erik Walden head butting him. They've probably had more than a few tussles over the past years, inc playoffs.

Rode's response: This is over armor, bitches.

As a Sharks fan, this immediately reminded me of when the Canucks ended a round 2 playoff game when a crazy bounce off the glass seam gave a Canuck defenseman (Kevin Bieksa) a shot at the open net when nobody knew where the puck was (the goalie wasn't even looking at him when he shot it).

Good job, Good effort.
