Yes, as a coach you should always silence someone if you think they are about to tell you about an allegation surrounding one or more of your players. That way you have no moral obligation to report it, because you don’t know what it is! Then you don’t have to suspend your players, which helps you get more WINS. Wins…

I say “BRB” out loud all the time to my 3-year-old. Usually everything I say to him leads to 15 or more questions, all “Why?”s or “What happened”s or “What’s that”s, but when I say BRB, he just nods and doesn’t say anything. I’m never going to stop.

Because internet smartasses will then have to point out that Qatar is not pronounced that way.

Stealing a victory from the jaws of certain defeat simply by virtue of being really, really fast is pretty fun. I think that’s what they meant.

I think that has been nixed for now, presumably by Marvin Lewis, noted enemy of fun.

Such a waste of money... who the fuck uses a travel agency these days anyway?

I probably don’t know enough to provide a take on this, but my thinking is that the Yankees/Steinbrenners really pushed to make Jeter the face of the franchise because for a team that outspent everyone else in free agency to make their lineup look like one from an All-Star Game, he was the one guy who started out in…

Got it, so Skip Bayless, but younger and less methed.

Let’s say I studied abroad in Australia and developed a fandom for one of the AFL clubs... is there any package I can buy in the US where I can follow that team and watch all their games? I remember researching this a long time ago and the answer was “no,” but I’m hoping that has changed.

What constitutes a “low-quality website” may be subjective, but here’s one black-and-white rule: if it has a slide show...

Also it’s an article about how Real Madrid finally overcame the world’s best player, and it’s not mentioned once that if they lose the La Liga title it will be because they couldn’t actually, you know, beat him in a match.

It’s an article about a sexual assault in a bathroom in Pittsburgh, this post was could have been written by a Deadspin-commenting robot

He pleads guilty and is “provisionally suspended” from FIFA. About all you need to know about FIFA there...

You added a bunch of unnecessary words:

Ladies and gentlemen, we found him! Set your wedgie devices to “atomic.”

Look, I HATE Michigan football. But reading through the various articles on Deadspin I started to come around on him. Then I saw the selfie stick...

Biggest “who gives a shit” yellow card in the history of soccer?

Stick to basketball? Are you kidding me? Not one of the ESPN basketball “experts” had South Carolina in the Final Four...

The Brewers have played what, 15 games? That someone could put up eye-popping numbers over a 15 game sample size is surely less remarkable than the fact that a major market team that consistently spends much more than the average ball club on payroll managed to avoid winning a championship for well over a century.

Probably not as drunk as I was during the fantasy auction where I spent $49 on him.
