“Well, we got rid of Tim McCarver to fantastic results and we don’t usually pick up hitchhikers. But I’m-a gonna go with my instincts on this one. Saddle up, partner!”

So he’s going to the studio. “The booth” implies that he’d be part of the actual in-game broadcast team- a ridiculous notion, as there’s no way the compact dimensions of a standard broadcast booth could accommodate his equine lower half.

Sounds like Fox wanted to inject some extra testosterone into the booth.

I used to work in the same market as Jamal Spencer. This had to have been even worse for him, because he went to Michigan State.

“Coming to you live from campaign headquarters, where President-Elect Thomas E. Dewey...”

Not even Michigan’s worst loss:

This may be the most clueless, laughably incorrect, prisoner of the moment hot take ever made in deadspin history. Someone tell me a post that's worse. You can't. Keep trying.

It’s like saying someone was probably speeding in their car, after you sent out an incompetent cop specifically to hide and bust them, and he only got them doing 2 over the limit with a poorly calibrated radar gun.

Agreed wholeheartedly. This is what bugs me the most, there’s no way the media will investigate for itself the merits of the accusations against Brady anymore since Deflategate / Ballghazi is now about the league’s BS disciplinary process. The unofficial history will remember this as an alleged “cheater” committing a…

A bunch of human hair in a kaiser roll.

Goodell flexed on Tom Brady simply because Brady wouldn’t cooperate with this investigatory cosplay, and that’s the funniest thing about all of this. Goodell and his minions got all the power they wanted, and all it’s resulted in is a player who almost definitely did what he was accused of sticking his middle finger…

For what it’s worth, something may be going on with Michael’s fiancee, Vito. He hasn’t been on social media since the 11th and he has some major familial issues that he’s dealing with.

Slip an intentional typo in, see who notices, then suddenly the sport is Contact Bridge rather than Contract. Far more watchable.

I’ll take “double amputee” for $1000, Alex.

Since you’re not familiar with the show, I’ll clue you in - this is fan-favorite Fat Naked Stanley, and he’s been on every episode, following Don around and providing key commentary. There’s huge debate in the MM community over whether he’s real or a figment of Don’s imagination. In fact, I’d say one of the things…
