I started watching with 10:42 left in the second, and it felt like there were several exceptionally long, intense stretches without a whistle. It was a fun game to watch, but not a great game to make dinner during.

I’m not sure you understood the joke of that headline before or after the re-injury.

It’s not really weird that they drafted a lot of seniors in round 4-10 (the 10th round was 23/30 seniors) where every dollar they save on bonuses can be allocated to other picks. It is EXTREMELY STRANGE that they would draft seniors after that, where they can’t allocate the extra money anywhere (except, of course,…

I remember never wanting to miss an Ombudsman column from her. She was probably the first media criticism I regularly read, and you can trace me reading Deadspin daily directly back to her.

This is a weird comment section!

I used to love the WNBA for massive transactions like this before they moved my team to Tulsa a year after it won the championship. Oh, hey, and then they moved to Dallas, where they were one of the teams in this deal! I miss you, Shock.

The remaining NHL teams are:

I saw them live a few years ago because my wife likes them and it was two blocks from our apartment. I’ve never been to a concert so loud. I thought I tasted blood and felt it in my ears. They definitely do not rock but some asshole knew where the volume slider was.

TurboTax through the years

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team gain, keep, and retake possession of the puck in the offensive zone as repeatedly as Carolina did in OT last night. They didn’t seem like they always knew how to turn possession into shots and goals, but Washington just could not set up any sort of breakout.

The whole point of wearing a button-down shirt untucked is that it looks untucked. That pseudo-tucked-in bottom hem is genuinely unnerving to me. Just wear a goddamn polo shirt.

Scoring a goal on a major power play down three, turning to both benches, screaming and gesturing “THAT’S ONE”, then scoring three more times on the power play before winning in overtime might be the bad-ass-est thing I have ever seen.

Ah yes, when you have to go back almost 20 years to the first season of a show, you know you have a solid counterpoint.

This makes perfect sense: if his team manages to win the next three games, not only will they advance, but they’ll also go back in time and make this hit only 60% as bad as it seems now.

Those things that Rodgers did wrong sound like reactions to years of trying to find ways around the doofus above him. Hopefully that experience didn’t break him forever, and he’ll be a better teammate in a more functional environment, but I think this is one common way shitty bosses get made, so he might just always…

“Ugh, this seems well argued. Oh, there’s a PS...

I’m imaging a folder with a hundred ever-redder pictures of Gruden that were supposed to last through January, but it’s going off the rails so quickly that you’re just skipping dozens at a time saying “hmm, not red enough.” You’re going to run out!

Apparently something called a “chest tube” is required for a couple days after the procedure, which frankly sounds like something out of a nightmare.

I’ve got so many domains blocked and scripts stopped that if I leave a Kinja site open for more than about 10 minutes the tab will crash. Green thumbs up on Adblock though!

This is the worst thing about football other than all the actually evil things. You can’t believe anything you see until you don’t see flags. Nothing cool happened unless after that a lame thing doesn’t happen. Certainly, other sports have referees that sometimes undo things you thought you saw, but it’s every damn…
