Right, they finished 5th and 6th, which given the massive resources and talent at their disposal, is a real failure. In the NBA, the Lakers have been bad (not 5th-6th bad, but 20th-30th bad) for years. The NBA’s deck is stacked, but it’s stacked towards the best organizations/teams with stars instead of whoever has…

It’s probably an unpopular opinion around here, but I don’t think relegation is ideal for anything. It’s just manufactured drama among the lowest class of a sport, and it would just cause an even greater talent drain among the bad teams in the NBA.

Chelsea, United, City and Arsenal have won 24/26 Premier League titles, and there have been 49 teams to play in the Premier League. Essentially 4 teams have a chance to win because they have insanely wealthy owners and everyone else would be thrilled to finish 5th. And that’s not even getting to La Liga or others in…

Baseball has a pretty random postseason and a player development system that actually lets good young players make an impact for the team that drafted them for 6 years or so before they can change teams, so despite the lack of a salary cap, you have more teams that can win. If this were soccer, the Yankees would’ve…

From a “labor getting as much money as possible” standpoint: Yes, a salary cap is bad.

The thing that’s being overlooked in the wave of “LeBron to the Lakers” hype is that he can’t put together a team that can beat the Warriors or the Rockets until those teams break up in 2-3 years. If he leaves Cleveland, it has to be for a team that can win now. I just don’t see him throwing away his last few prime…

Here’s something for your consideration: they are not. They’re actually very good.

You’re probably one of those people that believe soccer is “constant action” as if passing backwards in your own half is action.

Soccer is The Big Bang Theory of sports.

Penn State students/grads are the same as college students/grads from anywhere else, stereotyping them based on what some frat bros and admins did isn’t really fair. It’s not like there’s a “Cover Up 101" class - some people associated with the school are pieces of shit, I don’t think that should reflect badly on the…

Is there a reason you keep using “schoolboy” as if we’re in the 1920s? 99% of the writers in the world would use “high school.” Just a random observation.

He tweets a lot of really great information, so much so that he’s worth a follow. But he also tweets a lot of stupid things that nobody cares about. With his volume, you’re bound to have hits and misses.

I’ve seen this a lot, let me try to shed some light on why this means so much to some people:

Ah right, I forgot the editorial position was that people should just get paid more for everything because of those evil, evil rich people.

An entire article and comment section without mentioning DanBill Bishop???

I don’t get it - I’ve often thought about contributing to by college team’s SBNation page and I understand that I wouldn’t get paid for it. I’m not a professional writer, it’s more of a hobby. If I were to make writing into a career and be paid for it, I’d go elsewhere.

Sorry, but when seemingly the entire media, as well as every comment section ever, is shitting on something you think is smart and reasonable, it tends to make you a bit asshole-y. I’ll let it go when Deadspin eventually posts “The Process Worked.”

Absolutely, they were all classics. And then he released Wake Me Up, which really broke through to the mainstream and challenged what people thought EDM could be. He was a true pioneer.

Someone on Twitter called him “one of the great music influencers of our time” and I don’t think that’s exaggerating at all. Levels hit when I was a freshman in college and it changed everything about the music scene among people my age. So much of EDM/producing evolved from what he was doing in the early 2010s.

Your logic doesn’t check out when everyone on that list is a Hall of Famer or future Hall of Famer.
