I don’t see hideous polo anywhere so you can probably scratch Drew off as a suspect.

WTF is “Tiered Liability Tank”? It sounds like a variety of toxic paper that caused Lehman Brothers to go bankrupt.

This is far from justice. Being arrested royally fucks your life up, even if the charges are dropped. For the rest of this guy’s life, a quick google search on his name will turn up this arrest. Even if the records are expunged, and the public record is completely wiped clean of the offense, there are hundreds of…

This scares the shit out of me. I have seen so many cases where people are exonerated for crimes they did not do only after spending 30 years in jail that it seriously scares me. This is a mild example of that, but they guy still could have spent a year in jail over something he did not do and because the arresting…

“We’re not in the business of wrongfully accusing anybody” except for the whole fact that you are since there was someone with video evidence that you repeatedly ignored until it hit public forums and got so big you could not ignore it anymore. This is disgraceful and people need to be fired.

You’ve clearly never worked at a Barnes & Noble.

I’ve been a longtime fan of the Grantland podcasts but the output and quality have stagnated over the last year. Part of it seems to due to inevitable staffing changes - the departures of Yoshida and Lynch killed “Girls in Hoodies” for example. However, the direction of “The Right Reasons,” which had been a lively…

Grantland’s contributors page lists55 names: 24 staff writers, 14 editors, and 17 contributors, most of whom write fairly often. Another 12 editors not listed as contributors show up on Grantland’s masthead. That’s 50 editorial staffers, plus a deep pool of regular contributors.

“...and none are online-only”

Totally respect this perspective (Xenomorpheus’s perspective, not james-john up top). It’s an early adopter product, and Apple needs some time to figure it out. I just think they should have figured out more of it on their own dime.

The report said Kraft/Belichick were not involved/didn’t know anything. And then they took away a first round pick. That’s bananas. I can see 4 games for Brady (because it will inevitably be 2 games) but taking 2 draft picks for this makes zero sense.

They’re still gonna win the AFC East again this year, goddammit.

Actually, Drew, there’s no demonstrable evidence that Goodell is a “shit-eating moron”. At most, you could make the claim that it is “more probable than not” that he...

more like roger badell.

Counterpoint (not that I disagree with anything here): If your writing strongly appeals to readers ages 18-25, and no one older than that, that does not automatically make you a shitty writer.

Maybe Simmons is the Dane Cook of Sports-writing—all delivery, zero content.

I love this article.

Well, there goes my whole “Simmons to Deadspin” wish.

As a photographer who has spent several years on NFL sidelines, when I first read his Op-Ed I called BS. I've never seen a ball boy do anything but meander around the sidelines, usually in my way, waiting for someone to toss them a ball or to toss another ball somewhere.
