Black Thanksgiving has nothing to do with the colonization and genocide of Native Americans.

Thanks. That’s actually a really good point: both teams scored exactly 34 runs in this series.

I’m an ESPN producer looking for an angle: I see your point about unlikely liners, but is it possible that Houston deserved to win this series more because of Hurricane Harvey?

As a Dodgers fan, I’m ok with the suspension being moved to next season. This has been such a fantastic series that I don’t think it needs this hanging over it. His eventual punishment fits the crime.

“Oh, I will.”

Altuve is so fucking cool.

Is there a take on this other than Foerster is/was a dumb besotted older dude with substance issues that got fucked over massively by a stripper (presumably after some failed blackmail shakedown) who’s now trying to make it out to be some noble political act?

This is some cruel shit. Some dumb shit too. But the cruelty…

No. It would be even worse.

As a Saints fan, I can’t stand Cam Newton or the Panthers but wish everyone would just lighten up. Seems like everyone can’t wait to get offended by something. If that’s the worst thing he does for the rest of his life, then he’ll be first in line at the Pearly Gates.

Good lord his shooting motion is atrocious.

I bet Hayward is just thrilled he doesn’t have to deal with any of this nonsense in Boston, where the only thing they burn is crosses.

The good news is that it’ll be remembered more for the referee blunder than for any of the actual hockey, which is what we want for our cherished sports memories.

Yet again the biggest shit heel team wins off of shitty calls.

I’m living in a world where the Rangers, even playing at their best, are still light years (6.5 behind not actually the distance light travels in a calendar year but good god, let me have this) behind the Astros.

To give a little more context to Bregman’s tweet: The Astros have been owned by the Rangers for the last 2 years. The Rangers won the season series 13-6 in 2015 and 15-4 in 2016. The head-to-head match-up cost the Astros the division in 2015 and a playoff spot (or at least was a contributing factor) in 2016.

If your unwritten rules state that not getting hit with a fastball is worse than getting hit with a fastball, maybe your rules suck.

Was about to comment the same thing. The idea is fine but it just makes Jones sound like an entitled millionaire.

I think deadspin should make more excuses for Russell Westbrook shooting 1-11 in the fourth quarter. “But he was tired”, “but his team isn’t good”, “but Kanter can’t defend”. Russell Westbrook has played hero ball in the fourth quarter all year which is the primary reason why their record is right at the bottom of the…

It’s been pretty awesome watching the guy most likely to win the MVP get thumped by the guy who should win the MVP.

Man, what did I miss? The rest of us are watching OKC vs Houston.
