Kevin - Deadspin’s take on Barstool is always in line with the “gibbering morons” comment in your blog. On the other hand, they have a large viewership (~6M) and an extraordinary number of views (~70M... more than Deadspin which means loyal readers are re-checking the page over the course of the day). And they don’t…

Anyone that has read Barstool or has grazed through the comment section will see that she’s just pandering to the audience. The founder of the company is a Jew and the majority of jokes towards him relate to him being Jewish. If she wasn’t an established reporter, you wouldn’t even be talking about this, it literally…

Not necessarily. People get bored with a job or get a better offer somewhere else all the time. Doesn’t mean anything’s wrong. And I’ve worked on projects where lots of engineers leave after engineering work is done but before the product ships.

Hooooold on. What is a 21 year old doing with a 5-series and a wife?

Is there a problem with a guy who sees the bike as part of his outfit? It’s not an “if not A, then B” kind of thing. An old dude on the Goldwing isn’t trying master his bike OR be an asshole. He just wants the open road and the wind in his hair. I think a lot of riders fall into this type of category. A lot of bikers…

THATS WHY IM ASKING FOR SOMEONE TO EXPLAIN IT TO ME

Although I don’t disagree with your point, this is false equivalence. This is like saying “You don’t like ESPN so you must hate sportwriters” or “You don’t like Gawker so you must hate sextapes.”

The “discount”, so to speak, isn’t relative to what he was making vs what he is making now. It’s a discount relative to his value. The fawning is because he has made deals that are salary cap friendly rather than trying to see what the market will bear. That doesn’t mean he’s not getting paid (sorry for the double…

Love him or hate him, Cam was only one small part of that offensive debacle.

As a American who loves to play and and watch rugby, and who loves deadspin, I am always happy to see rugby highlights on deadspin. Especially seeing former teammates and opponents during the RWC. But this is shit Timmy. Absolute shit. You are doing the sport a disservice.

I am all for a level playing field and holding everyone accountable for their actions, but why post the smarmy video on YouTube? It’s a bad look. You want to remind a cop he’s not above the law? Do it. But doing it camera-in-hand changes the context of the stop which is no longer just about doing the right thing.

Apparently what US foreign policy needs in the middle east is an itchier trigger finger.

This is a very flawed argument, the basis of which is “it’s worth rolling the dice on Iran’s reaction in order to make a point.” By your same logic, when two of our boats entered Iranian waters then Iran should have sank them both. “Because one of these days it will be a hostile action. And [Iran] won’t be ready for…

Seems like “fighting for a different country for the right to own humans as slaves” is a pretty good place to draw the line.

Not only is Manning aware that he regularly hits the deck, but he also knows the officials won’t always end the play there. It’s a very specific “play to the whistle” counsel for his receivers.

Cam should be the MVP.

When I take my family to a public sacrifice to appease the cruel god of the void, I really hate it when an acolyte of Ner’huul makes an extra flourish with his bone knife or, and gosh this is THE WORST, when the High Priest makes a big show of eating the heart of the spring virgin. It’s like, act like you’ve BEEN…

But no Missouri flag? So tone-deaf...

What exactly did Wolfe do? Or not do? Maybe I’m missing it here but it sounds like the problem was people wanted more decisive action or something?
