yes, I'm trolling cuz this story is ridiculous. yes some people from all coroners of the earth hate other people from other places. but to be constantly looking for the code words and hidden messages is a waste of time. most people dislike just because they don't know you, doesn't matter the color of skin, just fear…

Disagree completely. He is extremely articulate for a human being. I'm not American, the cultural influence to be racist that is spoken of, that creates inherent subconscious bias, would skew to other races, not African Americans. I hear Richard Sherman speak and I think he is extremely articulate, more so than me. I…

racists took ownership of it? ACTUALLY the people who scream racism at every turn, whether it is there or not, took ownership of it. Amazingly, most of those are white people who have no concept of what black people have actually been through in life or history (outside of reading it), so they use these avenues to act…

Just like you can't win with all freshmen/sophomores, because you need that upper-classman experience in the tourney, right? It'll probably prove true more often than not with a large enough sample size, but there's also no reason why they can't stay hot for 5 games or so and get to the FF/title game. Plus I don't…

D) Bernie Kosar who brings with him offensive coordinator Jim Beam, and defensive coordinator Jose Cuervo

I would have never have guessed that the NFL would take a page out of the Blitz Franchise to make the game safer.

Ok. Fine. But what about the times when it's completely fucking obvious that he is wrong and he continues to bitch like a fucking retarded fan?? That's why I hate him so. Just like stupid homer fans, when it's an obvious call against your team shut the fuck up an accept. Don't cry like a baby because then you lose…

Bit of advice. Don't be That Guy. No one will talk to you at parties.

What a joke.

So anything that McCombs says about Strong is going to be racist, why?
It doesn't matter if he pushed for Gruden, who the fuck hasn't pushed for Gruden to coach their team?
Unless he specifically said something racist or only has a list of coaches, all whom were white, the comments that it's racist are stupid.
*Caveat-…

I think Red has the right to express his opinion without Deadspin implying it's racist. He hasn't named a single white candidate who would necessarily be inferior to Strong, including Saban and Gruden. Now if he named some random white coach and derided Strong, then you might have something. Post-racial society, guess…

You're really forcing a narrative that doesn't exist, Barry. McCombs is about the only one who has been critical of the hire (mostly because Powers and Patterson kept him on the outside) and most educated Texas fans are both in huge favor of the Strong hire and ridiculing the hell out of McCombs today.

I'm pleased you like the post. I did try to avoid the question of belief. I wanted to focus on what the intended message of the passages were. Glad that came across.

I don't think Manning or Brady are douchey. Manning is a goofy dude who has a lot of promotional contracts, and Brady is a beautiful man with a smoking hot wife, but neither of them are douchey in the sense that you would hate to be around them. They're successful and rich, so they're easy to hate in that sense, but…

Definitive proof that the NCAA has no soul.

Apparently Billy was too hung over to write an actual article today.

Here's my tryout piece for Deadspin.

Here's my idea: You doing your job instead of soliciting ideas from the commentariat.

It appears we've already given one drinker a gift of an easily written column. Jesus, is this what counts as a writer these days? Sign me up!

Barry, you're vastly over-simplifying the process. The Redskins don't just "get" jokes. First, they have to be free-agents. Next, you negotiate the contract. Then, you get them.
