I’ll concede that maybe science hasn’t proven that standing desks are actually effective; all I do know is, as someone who made a standing desk and uses it about half the day, I feel better using it. Don’t care if it’s placebo effect or what, but it works for me.

While yes, this is all pretty silly, and yes, I can be just as cynical as the next Gawker commenter, I actually—and I can’t believe I’m saying this—agree(?) with these Republicans(!?!) that magic is an art form. It can be hokey and hammy and kitchy, but when done well, it can also be impressive and captivating…

All because one little bouncy ping pong ball went left instead of right in 1997.

Much like how someone combined chess and boxing to create chessboxing, why not combine tennis and a dog show into one sport? I would watch this.

Has anyone compiled a definitive ranking of fan-generated NBA memes? This is decent, but I still think “Good job good effort” is the greatest.

Towards the end of the on-air part, you could see Michael B Jordan behind Rock giving the girls money without taking a cookie box. It was a super sweet hidden moment. Tim, any chance you can pull that up?

Funny coach.

I live a mile away from Barclay’s, take the train through Atlantic Terminal to and from work every day, and yet I NEVER see any ads or anything for Islanders games. The only times I know there’s a game is when I see people wearing Islanders jerseys get on and off the train. I don’t see any subway ads or station ads,…

WHAT IS THIS KID-DESTROYING CONTRAPTION I MUST PLAY IT

So Cruz is most certainly on the spectrum, yes?

I think my favorite thing about Kobe farewell tour coverage is that you don’t even mention who won the game, nor do you have to, because the final score is entirely irrelevant.

Did the Attorney General of New York just refer to a baseball game as a “match”?

Kids are cute, puppies are awesome, hockey players scoring goals is super...yet the inevitability of this gimmick being buried into the ground already annoys me. So I hope and expect you, the Deadspin hockey beat, will also post every time a kid holding a goal-for-puppy sign is forced to leave a game disappointed and…

What a waste of perfectly good nachos.

I’m kinda surprised we have yet to see an ESPN Pay-Per-View channel for some of its biggest events. Would it work for a big bowl game or NFL playoff game or final round of a major? Probably not as things are now, but they see how much money rolls in for big boxing and UFC events, and they get none of that action.

A book per month was one of my 2016 resolution, and another was no screens at least ten minutes before bed. The former is making it easy to accomplish the latter.

This is the post-Jerry Dome NFL, a league in which everything needs to be as big and gaudy and expensive and insane as possible, common sense be damned.

This guy will get decapitated any time there’s a fumble or pileup. He wouldn’t last the first quarter of the first game of his career.

And yet there’s still a football team in fucking Jacksonville. Why the fuck is there a football team in fucking Jacksonville? That’s the stupidest fucking thing the NFL has ever done, putting a team in fucking Jacksonville.

Wait, go back to that power outage thing. What? Did that really happen?
