Like is this it? It feels like this might be the end of his career, if so that sucks. His game is fun to watch.

In the last two months I had to sign divorce papers papers, lost my job, had to bury my old dog who I’ve had since my first day of college, and got into a car crash that left me in the hospital for 5 days.

Guys? I think we need to look out for Sam. That’s just brutal.

What kind of Glory Holes does this guy go to?

“I’m squeezing and waiting for help.”

Well, there’s lots and lots of contemporary historical record and archaeological artifact that points to the existence of Alexander the Great. Part of being a ruler and conqueror is that you leave a pretty sizable footprint.

That is adorable. Most the experts you cite are theologians and Biblical scholars. They believed he existed before they sought to establish that he existed. They are not historians because there is no contemporary history that backs the claim up. Earliest written reference to Christ are the Gospels followed by tome…

If there’s anything I’ve learned in my relatively short tenure reading the comments here at Deadspin, it’s that if there’s a weird way to do a relatively mundane thing, people do it.

From now on, I am announcing that I am going to go ‘glaze the tank’ when excusing myself to go use the bathroom.

To each his own, but color me fascinated. Does this mean you only jack it in the bathroom? And, always while standing up? Do you have to squat and push your junk downwards so you don’t glaze the tank?

“Proof” is a tricky word. Let’s lean on “evidence.” It’s true that the historical or archaeological record is light on evidence of most inhabitants of human history. It’s also true, as they say, that the absence of evidence is not the same as evidence of absence. But it’s certainly not the evidence of presence.

But there’s actual objective, empirical data that support that (a) the Earth is an oblong spheroid and (b) the global climate is shifting and that the Earth is increasing in temperature.

Basketball is the 2nd most popular sport on earth and if just by sheer mention of the name, the Jordan shoe/apparel brand endures.  It’s like Madden.  Kids play the game but have no idea who the fuck John Madden was and how batshit his broadcasts were.  

I think Jack-o’s got them beaten. Michael Jackson was world famous. Elvis was huge domestically, but I don’t know if hewas so big that he instantly sells out a 250 city world tour the way MJ did. Maybe I’m wrong. Did people in Manila just lose their minds when they heard Elvis was coming. And the Beatles were four…

You show those same 24 year olds a pair of Air Jordans and they’ll know exactly what they are.  He’s no longer just an athlete, he’s a global brand, and that Air Jordan symbol might as well be a Jesus fish symbol 

You get that none of that is actually scientific, right? There’s no evidence of Christ outside of the Gospels, which were written (at least) decades after he is said to have died and by people who would have not known of him first hand.

Jesus doesn’t count because there’s no good reason to believe he ever existed in the first place. Also, I question your choice to make fame about historical significance or notoriety if that notoriety can be gained after death.

Came to say this. There are more Muslims in the world than Christians, this top 5 is quite obviously from a Western perspective.

I can answer that for you truthfully since I once lived in that godawful county: NONE. In fact, if you are rich and black you’re going to jail. Period. I’ve seen it happen countless times.
