As someone who took the Over at 120 in last night’s game, that was electric. 42 points scored at half time! Looked like a sure fire loser. Then that shooting by UMBC in the second half forced UVA to play uptempo - sloppy game, turnovers, breakaways....all electric stuff.

This is the danger of following tracks off piste - you have no idea (1) how good the person before you was or (2) where they got in over their head. I was in Jackson Hole for the first time a few weeks ago and everything was a complete white out. I’m pretty comfortable on almost any terrain, but I know Jackson in…

Yeah, pretty sure this is just 4 guys who did this one time, also one of them appears to be wearing a headband that says “meme” on it as far as I can tell. Definitely not a “thing.”

The main issue I see with lots of the conduct is that the persons benefiting from the arrangements are the sneaker reps, agents and other brokers. The amounts they are giving the players and their families are very small (although the amounts may help the families, at least short term, there is no long-term benefit),…

Forget it, this guy’s a douche - “modern theater of discussion” might be the most pretentious thing I’ve heard in 2018.

Why is he incorrect? Asteroid mining is not currently viable. The technology does not exist to deliver mining equipment to an asteroid, to reliably operate that equipment remotely (without significant risk of loss), or to return the extracted minerals to Earth in any meaningful quantity. In order to make a venture…

Tottenham are good, and it’s impressive what they’ve done with young players.

I came in here to make the same comment. It’s hard to have “football Sundays” when football is on 4 nights a week. Thursday night football really just makes it feel like football is “always on.”

The “unified” delegation is a propaganda stunt by North Korea. They have no interest in changing their policies or pursuing a meaningful unification, which they know would result in the end of the existing North Korean regime and an accounting for their human rights violations.

To be clear, Deadspin was sold in bankruptcy because the people who used to run these pages unnecessarily outed a prominent investor and published a celebrity sex tape without consent. But sure, Barstool are horrible because of this stupid internal argument (which is 100% for show).

Sure, focus on one stupid argument, and ignore the fact that they are blowing you out of the water in multimedia content. More people showed up to a bar in Minnesota in 10 degree whether to watch a live radio show than have listened to all Deadspin content this year combined.

It would make no sense for a Company to have that kind of cash lying around. You can’t make money as a financial institution if you hold assets and liabilities 1:1 - you need to leverage your reserves, and set your reserve ratio high enough to prevent a run. But 1:1 is simply unbelievable, particularly at that scale.

Anything other than “The cryptocurrency bubble was driven by media speculation which was fed by earlier adopters profiting from the bubble” is fake news. People make all sorts of convoluted arguments about why the value is real - but the fact that even the biggest believers can’t agree on their reasoning tells you…

The Clement catch was actually debatable - I think it was a catch, but there is a legitimate argument in both live speed and slow motion that he didn’t really control the ball until his 3rd foot came down (no offense to Nick Foles), and that foot came down out of bounds.

Can we talk about the fact that Deadspin routinely mocks and criticizes Barstool, yet also routinely uses Barstool content in its posts? At least 4 of these are reposts of Barstool content (either Barstool’s Twitter account, Laces Out (which is a Barstool podcast) or Rone (a Barstool blogger). And it’s not just this…

If the Lakers can deal with Lavar Ball, they can deal with Lebron James.

Exactly, there is no indication that Kroenke is saving up a transfer war chest to lure a big name manager and let him revamp the squad. I’m also not even sure who they would bring at this point - Simeone is probably the top fit but I don’t think they can convince him to leave. Klopp would have been perfect, but we are…

Is that the NFL’s official report on Gronk’s concussion test?

The public promise to vote on DACA by February 8 is a pretty good outcome for Democrats in a midterm election year (particularly with many Republicans nervous about a huge swing in this year’s midterms).

Also, even if the overhead bins space is crowded (say, you’re sitting toward the front of the plane, and people sitting in the back put their bags in the first space they could find on their way to the back), you can usually just hand it off to the flight crew (which they prefer, rather than having passengers running…
