The world needs more of this. I want a recurring series of Butterfly Effect rundowns. Things like, “If Golden Tate HADN’T Boned Russell’s Wife”, and “If Darko Wasn’t Shitty at Basketball”.

It’s like that Gwyneth Paltrow movie, Sliding Balls.

It was very brave of Bill Veeck to go out onto the field - if I were him, I would have been worried about staying alive.

I guess in lieu of making something people actually like, you can intentionally under-perform and call it really edgy satire. I know when I’m insecure about the results of my efforts, I sometimes self-sabotage them - for example, if I’m making a piece of functional furniture and I want it to turn out way better than I…

If you flip 911 upside down, you get 116. So Seattle basically invited disaster in the post-season.

Most people hate the Cardinals so...Probably!

I swear that second free throw had the trajectory to hit square off the backboard. Too flat, Too hard. I have no idea how that went in. And the Love with actual defense! What a game.

Down 3-1 and you have to win two games in Oakland against a team with the best regular season record of all time. Kevin Love is coming off a concussion. Also, all of the history of failure in Cleveland which is understandably hard to get if you are not from NE Ohio. It may not be a traditional “against all odds…

For me the biggest thing was the second free throw. Imagine if he had missed that free throw and then the Warriors tie the game. Suddenly all that “choker” stuff comes back and suddenly his haters have ammunition. His career is demonstrably different. After all those minutes and all those shots. Just one free throw.

Except it already did have a positive impact on their lives. Experiencing the joy and camaraderie that comes with a team you root for winning a championship is a wonderful thing. It doesn’t solve any problems, no, but sometimes joy, for joys sake, is enough.

I bet you’re a real delight at parties.

This seems like a lot of work just to be able to put a 26.2 sticker on his car.

No matter what happens I just want to say thank you to all the Deadspin staff. I started reading your articles about 5 years ago. Before that I barely paid attention to sports news, because I thought they were all like ESPN or SI. You guys helped me to develop a greater love for sports by showing them in a more…

Oddly shaped men in baseball uniforms you say?

Same contractors designed stadiums in Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook

I seriously haven’t seen anything this shameful since the Braves posted their lineup card yesterday.

As a resident of Atlanta and Braves fan... I’m ashamed of the team, I’m ashamed of ownership, and I am not excited at all about this new stadium. Being a sports fan can really suck (especially in Atlanta) but it really hurts when you just feel *bad* about supporting your team. When you don’t even *want* to support…

Can’t wait to not be able to take public transit and brave the busiest interchange in the south and not find parking to overpay to see one of the most dismal teams in MLB history while sitting next to a bunch of old money assholes with funny sounding voices. But at least I won’t have to see black people out the window…

It’s gone beyond funny; it’s become transcendent. When I come around to checking the baseball scores at night, I always keep an eye out for the Cardinals score just so I’ll know if I have this to look forward to. Deadspin has made baseball great again.

You’re right. It’s fuckin’ hilarious.
