And like that, the laughs of a million Steelers fans were suddenly silenced.

“Despite having no experience working on BMWs”

Thhey were tricked by his name into thinking the character concerns were temporary, but just realized in camp that it's actually pronounced Poly-tay. 

Wow, guy who fellates teams and players who routinely dive in the box writes 275th article dissing VAR. It's almost as if those two things are related. 

I get the parent’s grief. But blaming some locker room attendant for running out to score him some drugs and not Skagg’s himself is some next level denial. His death is indeed tragic and I wish he got some help, but it was his decision to make this fatal mistake. Jamming up some underling is bullshit.

Yeah, but how many times did they steal the work of young artists and designers? Especially young women of color?

Pour one out for exploitive, environmentally damaging, designer stealing store.

Billy is Deadspin’s Colin Cowherd please don’t @ me

The soccer comments are dickish because Billy has been told the same complaints about his writing over and over and over for years - enough with the ridiculous paragraph-long run-on sentences, the use of fourteen paragraphs to make an incredibly banal point that could have been made in two sentences, the constant…

Liverpool and Man City running the league from the get-go? Congrats on the 1,000 words to tell us what we already fucking knew three games ago...

The Major sport that’s hardest on your body, is far and away the worst for your brain (and long term risks), but pays far and away the least and guarantees nothing in contracts (and has a history of fucking over it’s retirees) is having a problem with players walking away from the game.

With an NFL- promoted soundtrack of shitty country music for a league that is 80% African American. 

If there was a young man in literally any other profession who made $100 million before he was 30 and decided to retire, he would be lauded. The Wall Street Journal would write thousands of words of wankery praising his acumen and smarts and god bless America.

The fact that the NFL has made itself into a weekly orgy of vaguely fashy American nationalism can only hurt the popularity of the sport outside the US.

I hope that NFL players take note of the lack of empathy people have shown Andrew Luck during this entire process. Don’t feel guilty about hold-outs for more money. Get as much money as you can and get the hell out before it becomes a detriment to your health. 

I wouldn’t exactly call it a production line given the only player of that bunch they actually produced in-house was Torres. The rest was just good buying. They dropped €20m on Aguero, €21m on Forlan, €40m on Falcao. Not exactly unknown guys: the much-heralded Aguero a then club record buy, Forlan a prolific scorer…

He looks like a wooden puppet who dreams of becoming a real boy someday.

Yea, its a bad mural and the artist is not great at art.

Wait, Larry Bird? I thought it was Larry from Three Stooges!

There are acceptable and unacceptable times to use it. If you say “we’re meeting at the bar at 9, right?” And they reply with a thumbs up, that’s polite. They’re busy, but they answered your question in a timely fashion. If your significant other sends you a text about how they had a really bad day at work, and they…
