No, not even influences. I guarantee you Snyder hates the Post. They routinely run negative, embarrassing stories about the team in general and him in particular. He probably only hates them slightly less than Dave McKenna.

Well, you’re clearly the exception. With your brilliant analysis and clear, thoughtful and precise writing you could clearly represent yourself in the most complex of cases!

What has made you so angry?

Sure! What he dictated ended up being bad for his career. The point is all he did was recognize his leverage and use it in a way he thought would benefit him. That is not “millennial" logic.

Not millennial logic. Typical logic of one employee that knows he is more valuable to the company than the other guy. In the tw years before Griffin showed up, Shanahan was 12-20, and was pretty firmly on the hot seat. With Griffin the team went 10-6. Griffin was a young quarterback coming off an excellent season, the…

And what’s the point of having humans type out false equivalencies when troll bots can do a perfectly good job?

I have no idea what percentage of people in the stadium at any particular time could name Rizzo, but I suspect everyone who follows the Nats on any sort of regular basis is well-acquainted with him.

I’m a Nats fan and you have the correct take on Rizzo. He’s a decent, good, or maybe very good GM. But around here the view of him is ridiculously hyperbolic. He’s either the best GM in the game because he took a team that was garbage and led them to becoming a perennial World Series contender (lol). Or he’s hot…

God, I remember in college when I read Bill Simmons obsessively. He was never an incredible writer, but it is AMAZING how absolutely insufferable he became as he got full of his own shit. I can still go back and enjoy shit like the Levels of Losing and the Rules for Sports fans. As half-baked and as sophomoric as a…

So you really think the Raptors are a better team than the Thunder, huh?

Yep! They praised ONE Knicks player. They consistently shit on the Knicks as a whole all the time. They are not the team to make whatever point you’re trying to make.

Yup! If there’s one thing Deadspin loves, it’s praising the Knicks.

I don’t know what the hell this comment means!

It kinda does, because (a) the current core and coach of the team have been part of that failure and (b) the Spurs are consistently excellent in the playoffs.

It is weird when you consider that the Raptors, who would have been maybe the fourth best team in the Western conference, and who had never won a 7-game playoff series, are playing in the conference finals, while the Spurs, who completed something like the 5th best regular season in NBA history, and who are MUCH,…

Suspend the entire team? Why?

Good Kinja.

1) That does not matter! He’s Russell Wilson! He is to only be mocked on Deadspin for his bland manufactured personality. Not PRAISED because someone wrote a mildly funny speech for him.

What the fuck is this bullshit, new guy? Is there no editor vetting stories on weekends making sure some post praising Russell Fucking Wilson of all people doesn’t go up? What’s next, a post praising Cardinals fans for politely cheering when an injured opposing player is able to leave the field under his own power?

Harper wasn’t kicked out for screaming “Fuck you,” that happened after the game was over. He was kicked out for yelling about what he thought was a bad strikeout call against one of his teammates, ehich everyone on the bench was doing. So, yeah, that constitutes criticism. I’m also not sure what Harper’s age has to do…
