Can Liz Spayd write a column critiquing Liz Spayd’s performance as Public Editor? Because that’s the only way I might find myself defending Liz Spayd.

My “favorite” moment was Joel Berry getting called for a foul for, as far as anyone could tell, getting his throat slapped by Bearded Gonzaga Big Man, and then the refs going to the monitor, seeing what everyone else saw, and, unable to reverse the original call, giving Bearded Gonzaga Big Man a flagrant one as a…

Sorry, forgive my hockey ignorance, but what’s the advantage to not sending a player to the penalty box immediately? Is it just that you want the player available on the bench for substitutions at some point during the five-minute power player?

Can Democrats draft Popovich to run for Cruz’s Senate seat in 2018?

Friends have mocked me for ranking Arkham Knight as the best of the Arkham games, but I’m a sucker for the game’s sense of scope and ambition. It’s bigger than Asylum and City, both literally and narratively, and I think it handled its sandbox setting with a much greater sense of focus than City, which was kind of…

Yeah, this seems like one of those situations where the slightest bit of transparency and common sense would eliminate most controversy. If the NFL would say, “Hey, from time-to-time the on-field referees are going to be in contact with officials back in New York so that egregious mistakes can be corrected…

On a somewhat related note, the note about Carr’s struggles demonstrates just how inane the Raiders’ playcalling was at the end of the game. Third and one, deep in KC territory, Latavius Murray had success running the ball against a depleted Chiefs’ defense throughout the second half...and the Raiders call two deep,…

You can probably spend a few episodes (or quite a few) focusing on a kind of robot mop-up operation - the hosts hunting human guests throughout the park, reversing the dynamic from the first season. Put Ed Harris and Tessa Thompson together, strand them in the park with no supplies, always running from the hosts, and…

Reid and Smith have obvious, easily noticeable flaws, while their strengths are much harder to spot. The fact that Reid looks freakishly like a walrus doesn’t help.

The Chiefs once got flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct after celebrating a fumble return for a touchdown that instant replay ended up reversing.

+1 beating me to the punch

I don’t in any way think it’s inappropriate for reporters to ask coaches about their job security in moments like that, but “Do you know what this means for your future?” seems like a pretty dickish way of phrasing that question.

Nick Saban responded, “What is ‘music?’ It sounds pointless.”

I was a huge Ezra Klein fanboy during his Post days, and I still think he’s an exceptional writer, analyst and journalist. As an editor-and-chief of a news site, as a finder, evaluator and developer of writing talent...eh, that’s not really working out so well. There’s some good stuff on Vox (Todd VanDerWerff is one…

I’m still disappointed Deadspin decided not to highlight Dontari Poe catching a screen pass for a touchdown a few weeks ago.

Man, those were awful. Just horrendous. So ugly. Hurt to look at.

“As for discrepancies between all three men’s stories, Baute said that was proof they were telling the truth because liars would have coordinated better.”

Those are some surprisingly, admirably clever and subversive tweets from the Browns and Eagles.

I normally like Chris Fowler, but he was oddly OK with Boulware choking Jackson, to the extent that he seemed to be castigating Jackson for getting upset about it.

Amazon putting out a total bullshit release date for a GRRM book is an issue going back to 2001/2002 when the book in question was Dance. Amazon release dates mean nothing.
