The basketball part

To be fair, Drew is a gasbag too. But he’s OUR gasbag and we love him.

I am in no way criticizing the Deadspin article, but it’s a sign of our times that I’m even commenting on a criticism of a criticism of a story.

Drew doesn’t go after reporters, he goes after (fellow) columnists.

I think Simmons has a better sense of humor about himself than a lot of other sportswriters do though. He doesn’t take himself too seriously and regularly brings people on his podcast like “Cousin” Sal who bust his balls about stuff.

Drew didn’t say the best sportswriter, but the most powerful and influential and it’s hard to come up with a good counterpoint. There are many REALLY good sportswriters, but none can point to a grantland-level project let along multiple versions of it. Simmons is influential enough that ESPN though it was a good idea…

Bill Simmons created the platform that you now use to slander him - internet blogs.

Aces would have been the correct name.

Not to be That Guy...

Wouldn’t just the Knights have been a better name anyway?

The Army has a problem with the Golden Knights but they haven’t said shit about the Rangers.

“It’s funny to hear a female write about concussions.”

Sorry to break it to ya, but the Chiefs lost because the Chefs showed up in the 2nd half. If you think “take away those 3 points, and we win!” then just remember that Tennessee was moving the ball SO EASILY on that last drive, and could have easily scored instead of kneeling on it.

The fan ought to make sure he’s within his rights to keep the medal—otherwise, he could be charged with larseny.

Lias Andersson, more like Pjoor Spjort

If that kid ends up on the Capitals he’s going to kill himself.

The Jack Cust photo is some really inspired work.

This is the most on-commenter brand comment on Deadspin right now.

Coach drew up the play for me, I had to knock it down 

Several schools have reportedly turned down a similar donation from another NBA great as they’re reluctant to open the JR Smith Basketball Facility for Hot Women.
