Trent Richardson signed a two year, $3.85 million contract with the Raiders on March 18, 2015.

And what if that running back had been at the center of the biggest scandals to strike the NFL in years

“ Sudden-onset blindness wouldn’t explain 13 turnovers.” and “Fucking Pepperidge Farm is looking at the box score this morning and going, “Damn, that’s too many fuggin’ turnovers.” are two incredibly funny lines. Thank you for these.

Ok, I can’t tell if you’re making a joke here or not, but in the interest of clearing up any confusion for the scores of other people who are making similar statements without any irony, I’ll be that guy:

I clicked the little star thing three times just so I could like this comment again

“It really is the World Cup of Fraud, and today we are issuing FIFA a red card.”

Somewhere, Chuck Schumer is wishing he'd made that joke.

This place, Gawker (as a whole), not just Deadspin, has truly just become an echo chamber. Dissenting opinions are driven down as quickly as they can spring up. Everything is responded to with a “Nah” as if that is some legitimate response. It’s little help that most of the talented writers have disappeared, but the…

If we’re all grownups here, and a commentator is supposed to just be cool with a deadspin staffer ridiculing him in response to an honest attempt at thoughtful conversation, then Kyle can handle someone taking a low blow at his writing. Both are equally sophomoric and ‘hostile’ as you say. Its ironic that you say…

But isn’t it more than a little reductive to describe this as “an article about Taylor Swift” when, really, it’s more an article about Dan Bejar and frustration with him, both with his attitude towards Taylor Swift and how it fits into the larger sort of (admittedly stupid and worth calling out) pretentious mental…

Don’t be miserable and difficult. Freddie had a really well thought out, well written post you dismissed as whiny and irrelevant simply because it disagreed with your coworkers premise in the article. More so, the use of ‘if you don’t like it don’t read it’ or ‘then don’t click on it’ is at best an out of touch…

Why? Just because you like pop music and you want him to make music that you like? How would that be any more genuine than purposefully making music that most people will dislike.

But of course it’s not easy to be Taylor Swift. But I think you can acknowledge that while still saying that you think her music isn’t very good. “Taylor Swift” is a machine. A machine that runs on a lot of moving parts. Part of it is the music she puts out and part of it is a carefully constructed image she maintains…

A debate, of course, that you’re taking a side on in the first half of your comment here. Which is just what Harvilla is trying to do too: you’re both trying to stake out your space on that debate, but can’t handle pushback or disagreement, so you in fact claim that my comment isn’t relevant when it plainly is. It’s a…

Well, you completely misrepresented his arguments and then essentially told him to shut up. Not exactly a rational way to respond.

I dunno. I guess I slot the pop music accomplishments of, say, Taylor Swift into the same general part of my brain that includes, for example, bond traders. I think the number of people who can be successful doing what they’re doing is small, and I think more people would do what they do than would let on, but there…

You know, Wagner, I find you generally to be as unimpressive as any professional writer I’ve ever read in any forum at any time (don’t ban me, Burneko!) but even by your low standards, this is pitiful. Harvilla wrote a post not about Taylor Swift but about Taylor Swift’s relationship to music and music criticism writ…

Speaking generally, I guess I just don’t understand, in 2015, what “poptimists” are so worried about. They’ve been utterly victorious. Every old dead cliche about a rock critic establishment that hates chart pop is just that: dead. Hipsters proclaim their love for all things chart pop. Every major music publication in…

I never understood the idea that calling a professional athlete a money grabber was an insult. Its his job. Are you a money grabbing traitor if you take a new job in the same industry for more money?

I consider myself a very rational, levelheaded person, but by the end of that Top 10 list I was about 30% convinced Andy Kaufman was going to deliver number 1.
