So, net-net, Ghana is going to eliminate us from the World Cup for the third straight time. Got it. @#$!.

Barry - let's assume - TOTALLY HYPOTHETICALLY - that someone had been ignoring the controversy surrounding Qatar's bid to host the 2022 World Cup because, hey, it's eight years away and the kids have T-ball in FIVE MINUTES. GUYS! GET YOUR SHOES ON! If that person was now kind of totally getting into the World Cup…

FINALLY, someone on the internet has the guts to stand up to Obama.

An overlay of the MLB map and the NBA map would reveal a not insignificant amount of people who root for the Celtics and the Yankees. I cannot imagine a more insufferable group of human beings.

Thanks. Still not sure I agree. I think the we-want-to-combat-the-victory-narrative argument is a little bit of a straw man, or a post hoc explanation for the public shaming that I am questioning. Sam's drafting was a big deal and was treated as such, but the coverage I saw certainly did not reach we-shall-overcome…

I have always been a fan of Deadspin's public shaming of morons on Twitter, but I've also always assumed there is a tension between the let's-show-these-guys-what-idiots-they-are thing and the let's-not-give-these-guys-a-platform-to-spew-their-ignornance, thing. Even more than usual, this feels like an instance where…

Not sure how many people stuck it out to the end, but if you can get from ~23:00 - ~25:00 without tearing up, then you are not a living, human being.

I am not sure how to get this question the prominence it clearly deserves, because Kinja, and this is more than a little bit of a tangent, but here goes:

I am deliriously happy at the prospect of Facebook fading into the oblivion occupied by pet rocks, lava lamps, Lisa Loeb and the entire cast of Beverly Hills 90210. I never joined. It seemed stupid to me (in an admittedly get-off-my-lawn kind of way) that the concept of "Facebook friend" was becoming — and has now…

Tomorrow on Deadspin, the percentage of pro athletes who are better looking than me, in better shape than me, and get laid more often than I do. This has been fun.

I was gonna go polish fire extinguisher but subtlety, as in almost all cases, was the better play here. Well done.

I am sure there are some actual copyright lawyers who read this blog - I am not one of them - but I think there is some risk to a company that does not police its copyrighted material that it can lose enforcement rights down the road. Am I completely making this up or do I remember this from third-year IP law? …

In fairness, Utah's numbers are totally inflated: most of the guys got to vote three or four times.

Not enough +1s on the planet for this comment. Disney gets a bad rap with the cool kids, but for families with young children there's no place better. Do a little planning to avoid the longest lines for rides and waits for meals (or, better yet, sit back and let your wife), go for a few days, and enjoy. There are…

"I can't believe it's been six months already."

ok, fair enough, you're right. But still, everything else I said.

In football, you can dance after a touchdown.

Hiring Phil Jackson to be President is like signing Kevin Love to play point guard. As a Knicks' fan, I'm happy to have a talented guy somewhere on the floor, but he is still gonna be out of position.

Wait. Doesn't this mean there are bunch of horny kickball ladies out there whose needs are not being met by their teammates? Call me, girls. Week 5? Shit, I won't make you wait more than minute 5.
