Who is that waiting wide open in the corner at the end?

These would be reasons why including the review doesn't change Wagner's point. He should have included it. It was dishonest to leave it out.

There's a constant back and forth in hockey that goes like this:

"But there's an interesting tidbit buried within a lengthy Star Tribune takeout on the indefinitely suspended running back that's worth a lot more attention that his sex life, which is the focus of the piece"

Seriously, ever since the Rangers had a few good years, Deadspin has become so biased in their favor. Rangers, Rangers, Rangers all over this site. Give it a rest guys, it's not Rangespin.

Good call. That was a full on brutal choke by white-shirt-guy, who ends lying on the walkway.

Or the whole thing was a bit of a stunt.

I mean — it seems weird to not acknowledge that this position is contrary to everything Deadspin has been arguing for the last two weeks. Or is that just for shorts articles?

Let's be clear — Roger Goodell may be enough of an idiot to think that NFL is going to save society from the issue, but I don't think that's a fair characterization of most people. I think a lot of people are clamoring for the NFL to reflect, in the smallest way, the values of their customers.

It's his schtick.

Where's my Feaster?!

That does seem like a reasonable scenario. Deadspin keeps writing that the criminal complaint detailed the incident, but the page they linked to only says that he hit her — it doesn't say anything that would contradict a story from Rice that she was attacking him. Any I missing a report?

Somebody please bring an offer sheet — just for the drama.

"Harbaugh says McDonald deserves due process, a legal term that has no application in a private setting like an NFL team other than as a guideline management can choose to invoke when it suits them."

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I'd rather have another terrible shorts story.

Oh man, what a story to juxtapose with the Ray Rice coverage. Intentional?

Rembert Browne's articles about the intersection of race and sport are fantastic, —nuanced but furious, and personal, and honest — literally one of my favorite things on the web.

As others have said, yes, it is against the ethical rules for attorneys. You really thought there were no such rules? That is amazing.

Agreed — that was outside the bounds of ethical representation.

There is one other thing to that Tommy hasn't referred or mentioned, which obviously isn't as important as the water carrying of Peter King for Goodell, and that is Peter King's command of sentence structure, from the quoted sentence from the article that Peter King wrote.
