Journalists would write these articles about any athlete who went from guaranteed 1st rounder to completely undrafted twice - in a draft that has 1,200+ selections - due to a crime they committed as juvenile. If Heimlich got taken in the 5th round we could speculate on disparate treatment. But he wasn’t taken at all.

I enjoy that this takedown is on a site where if I keep scrolling past this article, the next article that comes up is sponsored product placement that is made up to look exactly like all other posts on the site. A+

Coming from Deadspin, this criticism is fine, but what I really think this post could use is some deals.

This is why people hate soccer.

No. Go fuck yourself.

I don’t think anyone’s saying what he’s doing is wrong, but it makes sense that other teams in their league wouldn’t wanna deal with playing them. Most schools have football programs to compete against other local teams and their generally equal talent pool, so competing in a league against a team who just decides to…

Yeah who doesn’t know about the Mid-American Confernce...idiots

Pretty god damned great.

because that’s not what deadspin did, and therefore it is unenlightened.

Oh man, how great would that be if the new GMG failed too?

The unearthing the undrafted guys like TJ hand Covington are part of the Process.

Not sure if I’m being that guy here, but... is this maybe not really embarrassing at all, but rather a bummer of a failed attempt to make what would have been a fucking spectacular play? Better example of utter hilarity on a similar play? Jose Canseco can be seen scratching his lumpy ass head about it.

Jesus, man, he’s not Hitler. No need to get your hot take in while his body’s still warm.

This guy was so talented. So sad to see him go so early. Was really looking forward to his music in the future.

This is so sad. His music is fucking phenomenal. I just don’t understand how a 28 year old is found dead. I guess it doesn’t really matter why, just that it happened - but damn. He made amazing music. RIP.

I just can’t guard 2s and 3s its killing me
Spoelstra’s taking control
Jealousy, wish that I could shoot the three
My offense is a lullaby
Not enough touches is my alibi
You won’t believe the price they paid
The end of the bench is calling me
Grab a board please, eager eyes
You suck Mr Whiteside

how are you any less annoying than sixers fans for posting this? you think this was clever?

If this is the best you can do, then damn Sixers fans have already won.

Might have been a Zach Lowe idea, but one I heard was a point system. As soon as a team is eliminated from the playoffs, every game they win gives them a point towards the draft. Whoever has the most points gets the first pick and work backward from there. Shitty teams will be eliminated sooner and have more…
