Twice you refer to Ecuador when I assume you mean Honduras.

Elysium didn't involve an alien war. To me, the obvious comparison is playing a video game level where you respawn at the beginning of the level whenever you die.

Does Donald Sterling own Deadspin? It seems like he's trying to generate decades of content for you by himself.

45 minute time limit. Even looking up every 5th answer would slow you down a ton.

I have 3 good friends from college who went to ESPN right after graduation. None stuck around more than 2 years, but while they had lots of issues with working there, none regret it. They say it was a great first job in that it opened some doors to them and they actually got to think about sports all day.

The real answer is (number of writers) * (average time to create a pure click bait post) = minimum.

The ruthless businessman wouldn't move a team out of LA. But the ruthless businessman who is now retired to become a ruthless Seattleite might have looked at what happened in MIL and SAC and conclude that bringing a team to Seattle honestly can't happen and is stealing a move from the Bennett/McClendon playbook. I…

The street I grew up on is called Chihuahua. I've been asked to spell it so many times that I automatically begin spelling it as soon as I say it.

Yes. So cronyist countries are most likely to be interested, as it offers a really effective way to pay off backers.

Yea, I was just thinking Russia is probably the most likely to be interested, since the corruption, waste, and graft look least out of place there.

I have a friend whose brother got full ride offers to basically every school in existence at 16 because he played the harp.

That, and the Thunder owners are too cheap to pay two coaches (see: Perkins, Kendrick over Harden, James)

I didn't say we shouldn't try to help refs get the call right. But your argument was very logically flawed. I'm actually a huge fan of this idea, by the way.

Yes. 4 TO's and 6 fouls + 2 reviews crushes the flow more than 4 TO's and 6 fouls. It's not a choice between "time outs and fouls" v. "reviews."

I'm generally very much in favor of using technology to improve ref performance, but man has the NBA's implementation been bad so far. Only under 2 minutes (correct calls should be important at every point in the game), very odd rules on what can and can't be reviewed (if something is reviewed, it shouldn't be…

Yea, everything about this story is great, but the Beasley stories are just pure gold.

So this is basically a combination of the Hot Hand and Gamblers Fallacy in the gambler's mind? He's hot, so he can't stop gambling, but has some understanding of independent events, so chooses safer bets? We need a name for this. The Gambler's Hand? Not great, but better than the Hot Gambler (unless you are Buster…

I wanted the Steelers to draft him so badly, just for the uproar over letting him hang out with Big Ben.

Is there any chance they actually move the Cup? It seems like that's the only real solution to the problem, but it also seems like a solution FIFA wouldn't accept.

So, we should all just wear Chubbies, all the time?
