Laziness. It's easier to troll, or find that one douchebag fan and make his ignorant comments fodder for a whole franchise than it is to actually write something humorous or insightful about sports, so most of these authors go for the lowest common denominator. That and they all try to by like Drew Magary.

Oh NO you insulted New York on a Gawker affiliated site. Good luck.....

Nevermind that they're likely going to the World Cup now. I'm sure no one in that stadium was thinking about that.

You clearly have no business posting online. You make way too much sense.

Yep. He was my favorite voice of that era. We were probably at a lot of the same shows back then. I met EV in New Orleans around the time when VS came out. My experience was similar to yours.

Seriously, I don't think any comment on deadspin has ever made me so angry. Fuck you Tom Ley and the hipster, bitch ass music you grew up listening too

"aging dinosaur rocker"

Tom Ley = what a vagina would look like if it were a full grown human.

I grew up in LA and was in my early-20's during the grunge boom I went to a lot of great concerts, meeting a lot of the musicians from that time, including Kurt Cobain, Billy Corgan, Flea, and Dave Grohl.

Bad pun ripping a great band =(

Witten: "So, Dez, is it better for us to escape with the win?"
Bryant: "No, we are resigned to our own fate— we dare not contravene justice and invalidate the principle we prepared ourselves to defend."
Witten: "Dez, it's a game. The object is to win."
Bryant: "Huh? What game?" [slips hemlock into Romo's Gatorade]

They're the worst. Seriously. I'd rather be playing the Pirates.

I thought I was pretty clear that I didn't consider it purposeful. So, no, I won't cry you a river. You're not helping the team's brand at all, friend.

I also am a Dodgers fan. Some games, or some performances, transcend our borders, right? How could you not want the guy to get it?...especially since outside of Lincecum's NoNo, there hasn't been a lot to cheer for in the Bay.

I didn't say anything about happiness or sadness for the outcome. He pitched a hell of a game. I was focused solely on how it was sad that the writer decided to annihilate the man's career because, like so many writers and commenters these days..cough..., he lives off eating the fetuses of potentiality to ingest the…

Stay Classy Timmy. What sick joy do you get out of writing this thing? There is nothing you will ever do (and I like your pieces generally) that will ever come this close to being that special. Pence was 3 inches away from making it into the books...so, please explain...why are you being such a douche about this?
