The point in my life where I feel so old I have absolutely no idea who this is someone change my bedpan please.

A better question is, “You just found out your true love has been fucking a goat every three months. Are they still your true love?”

AHEM I THINK YOU FORGOT TO ANALYZE SOMETHING

Thank you so much for sharing your story.

This is brilliant, thank you for writing it. And just to help you contextualize your experience a little, the second-largest group of women needing abortion in the U.S., (though not Canada) is women between 40 and 45 who are mothers. It’s not you, though your copper IUD failure is a spectacular one!

So you’re saying you made a well thought out, reasonable decision about your health and your body; the people responsible for it did not judge or subject you to their personal bias; and your supportive partner was there for you and cared for you before, during and after.

This is wonderful, thank you for sharing it.

You’re right: one fuck-up totally invalidates years of output from the dozens of other people who worked on the site and had nothing to do with that unfortunate article.

I liked Grantland and am looking forward to seeing what Simmons does with The Ringer. Say what you want about the guy’s own writing, but he hires good writers and lets them write good stuff without over-managing them. That’s something to celebrate.

Regardless of your feelings for Bill or his writing, he was able to put together one of the best teams and sites out there for sporting/social/cultural commentary, so I’d venture to say a fair amount of people are excited about this.

Yeah. No one is excited. Because the last Bill Simmons-ran website was so shitty. At least that’s what Deadspin tells me and my opinion is always Deadspin’s.

Get Zach Lowe the hell out of ESPN.

It’s fantastic that both teams decrease wins with this trade.

Hugely likeable guy.
Great career; got his ring, got his money.
Quit when you’re ahead and you’re healthy.

Respect.

Not to be a huge downer (which means I’m about to be a downer) but I’m glad they don’t mention what the rumor was.

Watching old ass Kobe tone it down a little and grow a heart has been one of my favorite stories this NBA season.
