Great references!!

What say you re: the triple double? See my above post. That requires its mini-investigation. Who else was playing in this game? Can any members of Da Lench Mobb corroborate this performance?

FTR, I’m also very suspicious about this alleged triple double recorded in a pick-up basketball game at the park. If it’s a standard trip dub and they are playing by 1s with no 2s, that means they have to be playing to at least 20, which is kind of a lot - especially since the game looked to be half court. Did nobody…

Damn! ...The mystery continues. ...It’s almost as if this song is fictional!

January 20, 1992!!!

Jay-Z was notorious for witholding acapella versions of songs earlier in his career, very much wanting to be in control of remixes, etc. The Black Album was around the time of all his “retirement” talk, and he released the vocals sort of as a gift on his way out. Jay-Z started his pilgrimage into mainstream America…

Not to mention that the vast majority of times a trans person uses the bathroom, the other folks in the bathroom have no idea. People act as if trans people just appeared yesterday, or just started having to shit and piss last week. A lot of these people have shared a bathroom with a trans person before and they don’t…

Second craziest person to weigh balls in attempt to determine cheating this year!

I recently heard “African ballet” for the first time. ...I live in NYC, of all places, BTW.

Normally, we come here to make some jokes, and the commenting community here is damn good at it. But, my man said that dudes who graduate college are men - that 21 year olds are not kids. Ain’t a Deadspin commenter alive that ever said anything that fucking funny!

I agree re: the WoD. But -not to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but the WoD has morphed into something else. It is only a failure if you accept its stated premise. As an instrument to systematically disenfranchise the impoverished minority and propagate the status quo, it’s incredibly successful. It’s also a…

Triple with a throwing error, not an inside the parker.

If Odibe McDowell had a dollar for each MPH on Chapman’s pitch, he’d only be 40 cents shy of coveraging the past due charges on his water bill!

The “strategy” perhaps, but not the endeavor as a whole. Do we stop trying to develop cures for cancer? Failure is a necessary stage within progress. The reason to stop is if you decide it’s not worth trying. Nobody is saying we shouldn’t consider alternate approaches to the problem.

Sheesh, some of these guys aren’t Fittish to be bike cops!

I don’t necessarily disagree with this sentiment. However, at least in certain sports - combat sports, football - athletes already have a significantly shorter average life span than average. Also, the competitive edge leans toward those willing to take the greatest risks with their bodies whether PEDs are allowed or…

No. I’m not making any argument about whether to test or how to test, etc. My point is simply that you choose whether to attempt to police something because of your feelings on whether that something should be policed, not based on how good you are at policing it.

If we’re going to give up on trying to police doping, it shouldn’t be because we’ve been bad at it to date, but rather because we feel like we are generally okay with athletes doping. FTR, that’s the same reason to end the “war on drugs” - not because it hasn’t been successful, but because we decide that people should…

This Marlins Man vs. Zack Hample feud is finally heating up!
