If the people who hate politics and wish their sports stars and celebrities would stick to sports just voted for boring Dems all the time, most of those athletes and celebs WOULD stick to sports because they would not be outraged all the time by the terrible shit the GOP always does.

And despite your corporate overlords telling you to stick to sports, I hope Deadspin never does because

and I can’t emphasize this enough

I come to Deadspin BECAUSE YOU DON’T JUST STICK TO SPORTS

The thing that really bothers me is if he goes by “doctor bobby” then should he be “uncle doctor bobby” and not “doctor uncle bobby”?

“Great win, Skins!” - Pyrrhus of Epirus

I grew up in DC, and I was kind of hoping the ground would open up and dark tentacles would pull the Redskins, including owners and staff, down into a realm of eldritch horror, but I’ve been hoping this for years and I doubt if it will ever happen.

How am I suppose to be hungry for a W when I’m filling up on turnovers?

After the game, a reporter caught up the player in the other team’s locker room.

As a Falcons fan, Atwater and Ronnie Lott had a lot (pardon the pun) in common. Their style of play will not return.

Note: For you youngsters, before the conferences realigned way back in 2 ought ought 2, the SF 49ers and Atlanta Falcons were in the NFC West.

FOOTBALL: Barry Sanders, Ed Reed

I’m lucky enough that Barry was my in-town guy. For my out of town, Bo was a good choice. And at his peak, I loved Chad Johnson. I even got a Bengals jersey with his name cuz I felt his personality was tremendous, and of course he was excellent at football.

Peak Barry Sanders was a sight to see.

Iverson, Griffey, Randy Johnson, Peter Forsberg and Eric Lindros. The 90's were fucking awesome. 

I liked Shawn Kemp. SICK DUNKS!

Mine will forever be LaDainian Tomlinson.

Barry Sanders and Walter Payton were my two.

Sweetness.

This very website agrees on Barry Sanders!
