You can bet if it were a man talking like this, claiming that he was a sexual predator, he would be skewered beyond belief here. But it's not just a woman, it's an icon here, so she gets a pass.

They want to defend Lena and the only way to do so is to omit.

THANK YOU. The only answer to this question is that it is on purpose they are leaving out the parts you mentioned because in totality it looks really fucking bad.

Why are we acting like this is only about her touching her 1 year old sister's vagina when she was 7 and not also about emotionally coercing her sister into sleeping in her bed and then masturbating while she sleeps? And about paying her sister in candy to give her long kisses on the lips? And about paying her sister…

"HERE PPL LOOK AT MY FACE I NEED PEOPLE TO LIKE MY STATUS TO GIVE ME SOME KIND OF GRATIFICATION BECAUSE IM EMPTY WITHOUT SOCIAL MEDIA LOVE"

Actually, I completely agree with you that Alabama didn't deserve to play for it in '11 since they had already lost at home to that same LSU team. What comes to mind when I think of that is 2006 with Michigan and Ohio State. Many people in the media were trying to push that both teams should go to the NC game…

Hence, why

If a man takes a selfie and puts it on twitter - or even has a twitter - I'm going to lose a little respect for him. These are minor offenses, like drinking a Mike's Hard Lemonade, using a smiley face, shaving your chest, or typing LOL - just things I don't think a man should do for any reason.

I think it's fairly undeniable that the SEC benefits from, essentially, confirmation bias. It's a self fulfilling prophecy, they're always ranked because they're always (win or lose) playing ranked teams. Throw that many preseason rankings into the PAC12 or B1G, and we could see the same incestuous cycle.

So? How did those draft picks pan out? Trent Richardson was a star for Alabama, but sucks duck balls in the NFL. Mark Ingram won the most prestigious award for Alabama and he is a medicore back in the NFL. AJ McCarron won more games than George Halas in college, and he holds a clipboard. Let's not even talk about…

Didn't Arizona State lose by 40 points to UCLA? I mean, they have impressive wins over Weber St and New Mexico but I'm not sure they're the team you want to throw out as an example of bias.

do you have any data on the performance on the draftees? serious question. I think the perception is that Alabama ones in particular have been fairly disappointing in the pros

it's a tautology. start with a premise (every SEC team is amazing) then whatever happens in the games just proves it more and more. not hard to see what's happened when you look at the top 10 right now.

Where do you think they get their information from?

Demonizing Torii Hunter for expressing his religious beliefs regarding a divisive political issue seems a tad inappropriate. It's not like every time he has a microphone in front of him (and that would be probably a few thousand times more than most anyone else on Earth in his/her lifetime) he's harping on this.

Deadspin should also stick to writing about sports. I come to the site to read sports/funny things, not to discuss politics. Certainty the writers are entitled to write about whatever they wish but in my opinion they should stick their model or risk becoming another political soundboard.

Yeah, except they only kind knew when to stop. Giving "the people's elbow" and kicking dudes in the face while they are in the fetal position is kind of a no-no if you aren't trying to kill someone.

"I have no proof it was fed by the oppo campaign, so obviously you're full of lies because you have no concrete proof and disagree with my assertion!"

How about the girl straddling the dude next to 4 teenage boys. Lots going on here.
