No apostrophe.

I'd like the single mothers of boys in the world to pay attention to this one. I was taking my cousin, who was raised by a single mother, to his first basketball game in Chicago a few years ago. This was when the United Center still had trough pissing, which is exactly what it sounds like. Etiquette in high volume…

Drew,

Not an SU fan but I feel the same introducing (sentencing?) my kid to a life of B1G hoops fandom (MSU fan here). It's essentially the same as sharing a beer with your kid for the first time. You'll want him to experience the ups but you know how low the downs can be.

I recently tweeted out something about going to Vegas for March Madness. About two seconds later, 15 different obnoxious party promotion companies tweeted back at me with their numbers telling me to text them to set up a good time. I took one of the guys up on it and thought of the most bizarre evening I could. His…

My hope is that his socially backward values will be trumped by his socially progressive ones. He's chosen the name "Francis" as an ode to St. Francis Assisi—a committed advocate for the poor. Hopefully he can remind the cafeteria Catholics in American politics that protecting the poor and sick and the migrant workers…

I totally agree! You'd never boast about your daily consumption of terrible food or cigarettes in the same way you'd boast about a lack of sleep, but it leads to the same consequence: terrible health outcomes. This is so frustrating.

I HATE that competitive not-sleeping thing among people. You wouldn't take pride in smashing McDonalds or cigarettes day after day, but for some reason, people feel great telling their friends/coworkers/colleagues how little they slept like it's some badge of honor. Congrats on speeding up your oncoming coronary!

Yes, let's continue to allow people to say their "busy schedule" excuses them from being a human being who needs 7-8 hours of sleep. I suspect there are very very few people who would not be able to shelter, clothe and feed themselves and their families if they slept a bit more. We think so many mindless things in…

That Steve Smith isn't on that list is actually a little mind-blowing.

Your friend is shrooms, and after scaring the living fuck out of you with the weight of the meaning of life and GOOD GOD THE SIDE OF THAT MOUNTAIN IS FALLING INTO THE LAKE you realize she's batshit crazy and just take the ride, and love it.

Watching that ND game last night I was thinking about what a good, high school boy varsity-level hoops player could score in a women's D1 game. I polled my buddies. Low end was 15-plus points, high guess was 80. Most settled on about 40, especially if he was a post. Thoughts?

I totally agree on hoping for a boxing comeback, I'm just trying to predict what dying sport the Hamilton Nolan of the future will write beautifully about.

Herb Simon, the terrible fuck who owns the Pacers, owns the minor league baseball team in Reno and is holding one of the brokest cities in the country over the coals for a new stadium refinancing deal that he COULD personally pay for himself. I've tried to tip you guys on it but no luck and feel it's a worthwhile…

Which non-Gawker, Deadspin or Jezebel Gawker Media site do you end up on most frequently? I really enjoy the bizareness of iO9. Those guys are everyone I know who wore a kimono around the dorms.

Which of today's sports will suffer the slow, painful death of boxing and horse racing? It's gotta be MMA because Dana White can't be sport dictator forever and once it decentralizes it'll basically become boxing. Also, NHL? Just seems like Russia will eventually be able to pay more than the U.S. and Canada can for…

Is Scocca there? I really liked "Beijing Welcomes You" and it prepared me to see people shit in the street on my first trip to China recently. What was the most fucked up thing you saw there given your Western sensibilities?

What current athlete are we most likely to see slip into a drug spiral and come out the other end of it as a born again motivational speaker? My money's on Gronk.

Forgotten Miracle is a real treat and it's a goddamn shame the way Squaw systematically removed every last vestige of that team's accomplishments here. I understand hockey doesn't concern most Californians, but come on, there's not a plaque or anything. I live in Squaw and had to show my kid the DVD or else he'd never…
